Working with Clients: What Event Photography Has Taught Us
Collaboration Makes Every Event Stronger
Working with clients across Brisbane and the Gold Coast has taught us so much about what makes truly great event photography.
One of my favourite takeaways lately has been the importance of collaborating closely on the photography shot list. What started as a simple checklist has turned into one of the most valuable parts of our entire event photography process.
It’s not just about deciding which moments to capture — it’s about understanding the client’s vision, their priorities, and the story they want to tell through imagery.
Turning a Shot List into a Story
By working with our clients (not just for them), we’ve seen huge improvements in how we operate, communicate, and deliver professional event photography.
The conversations that happen during shot list planning often reveal what truly matters most to them — and that insight shapes everything from the angles we choose to the way we edit and present the final gallery.
Whether it’s a corporate conference, awards night, or brand activation, collaboration ensures that every photo aligns perfectly with the event’s purpose and message.
Why Collaboration Matters in Event Photography
It’s a great reminder that collaboration isn’t just a step in the process — it’s the foundation of meaningful, impactful work. When photographers and clients work together, the results are more authentic, engaging, and visually powerful.
If you’re planning your next corporate event in Brisbane or the Gold Coast, take the time to co-create your photography shot list — it’s a small step that makes a huge difference in the final outcome.
