Last week saw an overlap of two professional interests, as I photographed a conference talk about an industry-specific generative AI solution. (I’ve been working on a generative AI writing project training Large Language Models since April 2023). AI is rarely out of the headlines today and certainly pops up all over my LinkedIn. However, it’s […]
Here’s a selection of event photography images from a couple of tech conferences that came along in September 2023, one straight after the other. Both were repeat jobs I’d done before, working with pleasant people, which always helps things along well. The first was Serverless Days Cardiff at Depot, a large warehouse in the industrial […]
The year of 2022 saw a post-pandemic return to event photography normality, in the form of larger scale, bolder and more confident events and conferences. My coverage across south Wales included housing professionals, computer programmers (great to be back for PyCon UK after a two-year break), dentists, health and care research professionals, and physicians. There […]
Staying positive was very hard to do last week. And it continues to be a battle. A Covid-19 test result (or three) meant I had to cancel a big conference job at late-notice. The event had been a long-time coming from initial pitch, to acceptance, to event kick-off. Sometimes everything can all happen quite quickly […]

Indoor events were certainly a no-no. Now they are back. By the time summer arrived, things had changed, or were […]
Come on. Just give me a new blog to eat. Do it for me, your old website friend eh? How about it? Some nice fresh content to chew on. It’s been a while and I’m hungry. It doesn’t have to be any good. You don’t have to shyly promote it on social media, half embarrassed […]
Professional event photography is an increasingly powerful tool in the business world. Whatever the size or sector of an organisation, images can help to unite a workforce, reflecting key values, messages and objectives. They can help staff to recall memories, and bind groups of businesspeople around a shared event experience, long after the event is […]
With a photography battle-weary bad back, last Tuesday evening I walked a short distance across Cardiff city centre to the Mercure Hotel. This was the setting for the Labour leadership rally of controversial candidate favourite Jeremy Corbyn. Corbyn is currently the name commanding most news agendas, about whom many headlines, column inches and blog posts are being written. […]
When it comes to hosting big events, Cardiff is repeatedly proving it can cut it. The last few weeks alone proved that authorities in the Welsh capital have what it takes to organise and host major events, both in the middle of the city and right the way around it. A few Fridays ago the […]
