We photograph conferences, trade shows, awards nights, and corporate events across Sydney. Our focus: capturing keynotes, networking, and event atmosphere without disrupting your event or requiring micromanagement.

We've photographed hundreds of events for almost 2 decades, including dozens at the Sydney Opera House, ICC Sydney and major hotels across the city. We know the venues, understand event schedules, and show up with backup plans.

What you can expect:

Arrive early, work efficiently, deliver on time
50-75 professionally color-corrected images per hour

Workshops and training sessions

Every event has its own objectives and audience. We work closely with organisers to ensure the photography reflects the scale, tone, and outcomes of the event, capturing both the key moments and the details that matter.

Trade Show & Expo Photography

Trade shows require understanding exhibitor priorities, booth flow, and capturing both the overview atmosphere and specific booth activity.

We coordinate with organizers to identify priority exhibitors, photograph booth activity throughout the day, and deliver images exhibitors can use for their own marketing.

Awards Night & Gala Photography

Awards nights require precise timing. We position ourselves to capture both stage presentations and recipient reactions as awards are announced.

We coordinate with event managers on timing and stage access, work discreetly during formal proceedings, and capture candid moments during transitions.

Networking Event Photography

Business networking events are built around conversation and connection. We cover these events with a focus on capturing natural interactions, attendee engagement, and the atmosphere that brings people together in a professional setting.

Our approach is unobtrusive and responsive, allowing moments to unfold naturally while ensuring the photography reflects the purpose and value of the event for future promotion and communications.

What Event Organisers Say

Sophie McMaster - NSW Telco Authority

“The Crop’s corporate photography was exceptional quality and was able to truly showcase the engagement of the presenters, attendees and exhibitions throughout the day. Their images captured that our people are at the heart of what we do and we will be able to utilise these for future corporate communications and collateral. With over 300 attendees at the event and an additional segment for staff portrait photos both the event photography and staff photos were excellent and captured the day perfectly.”
Melissa Lee - COS Limited

‘The Crop worked with us at our recent corporate gala dinner. We had a great experience from start to finish. They are very talented photographers who captured all of the moments wonderfully in some very candid shots. Thanks so much to The Crop! I recommend you highly and will definitely use them again.’
Lara Jones - Sydney Fish Market

“Sydney Fish Market hired The Crop to photograph one of the most important celebrations of the seafood industry, our biennial Seafood Excellence Awards event. They were a pleasure to work with, and the photographs they took captured the tone and experience of the event beautifully. We would recommend The Crop for any and all event photography needs.”
