What is the Shot List of photos Mel takes at a conference?

When I receive enquiries for conference photography, I often get asked “what type of photos do I take?”

Here’s a list of the most important photos I take at a conference:

• Keynote Speakers

• MC’s speaking

• Welcome to Country

• Sponsors for the event including representatives, branding, signage, merchandise and goody bags

• sponsor exhibitions and stands

• VIP’s at the event

• Key players including leading professionals, government representatives, and important stakeholders

• Panel speakers including close up photos of all the panelists, individual photos of each panelist and wide shots of the panel from the back of the room to show the size of the conference

• photos of the audience engagement, hands up, people asking questions, prize winners, audience reactions

• networking at meal times and at the end of the conference at networking events

• awards and gala dinners for the conference guests

• table shots of groups

• event entertainers, bands, singers

• social media deliverables as required by event organisers

• group photos on stage and in front of media walls of event keynote speakers, VIP’s, panelists, guests and event organisers

• additional private events associated with the event

• anything else the client wants photographed
