 I had the absolute pleasure of working with Craig for a social media campaign. As a woman in the entertainment industry, I must emphasise that my first concern was ensuring my safety and security during the shoot. I can confidently say that Craig not only met but exceeded my expectations in this regard. Craig's professionalism and respect for his work is commendable. From the beginning, he was understanding of the challenges faced by women in the entertainment industry. His unwavering commitment to creating a safe and comfortable space was very clear. Craig's approach was respectful and empowering. He made me feel very comfortable as a first time model, he communicated clearly, listened attentively to my concerns, and ensured that my boundaries were respected at all times. Craig is also - simply put - an artist. The photos are exquisite, and exceeded any expectations I might've had. I wholeheartedly endorse Photographed by Craig for any photography project, especially for those who, like me, prioritize a secure and professionalism, safety and artistry. Craig clearly prides himself in his integrity, his passion and his skill - all of which is evident throughout the creative process and within the final product.

Why do you need a photographer at your upcoming event?

Still images are incredibly important to capture especially when  it comes to events and  product launches, even for the Venue and Catering companies

A professional photographer isn’t there to enjoy the event like everyone else ,their focus is solely on capturing the function from every angle.
They will most likely have years of experience, along with a range of high quality equipment. This means they know exactly how to shoot in various lighting conditions and weather.
The event photographers aim is to help people immerse themselves in the moment, encourage them to put their phones away, and let the professionals do the photo taking.


With the rapid rise of social media, the entire world has become extremely visual. You are more likely to pay attention to any online interaction if it is in the form of photograph or video. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words. With that in mind, a photographer for any event is crucial because photos have an ability to be used and interpreted in countless different ways; whether it is to promote an event, show how successful it was or to document a once in a lifetime moment.

"Visual content is essential, make sure you invest in it."

Event photos can be used to improve the professionalism of your website and give it a more polished look and feel, using the photos to promote future events on offer.
Good images, especially on social media, have the potential to go viral, which gives your event or business fantastic exposure.

The better the photograph, the more effective the message leaving a lasting memory.
