Being a Corporate Event Photographer at Bristol M Shed

We've lived in Bristol for over twenty years, and the harbourside has always felt like the heart of the city. That’s why the M Shed is one of our favourite places to photograph events. Set in a converted transit shed along the waterfront, it reflects Bristol’s history and character in a way few venues do. Every time we work there, we notice something new, making each shoot a fresh and interesting experience.

The Unique Backdrop of the M Shed

One of the things we love most about shooting at M Shed is its character and variety of colourful backdrops. The industrial-chic interior, the stunning views over the water, and the fascinating exhibits all combine to create an atmosphere that feels both timeless and vibrant. Whether we're covering a corporate event, a wedding, or a lively community gathering, the museum’s setting always adds something special to the story we're telling through our lens.

Our Approach to Event Photography at M Shed

Explore Before Shooting: We always take a walk around the venue before an event, looking for interesting angles and testing the light. Familiarity with the space makes shooting go smoothly later on.
Adapt and Improvise: No two events are the same, so we stay flexible. Whether it’s adjusting my lighting or finding new ways to frame shots, being adaptable is key.
Capture the Atmosphere: We try to tell the story of the event in a way that makes viewers feel like they were there. Including little details—the laughter of guests, the soft glow of the exhibits, the reflections on the water—helps bring images to life.
Blend in with the Crowd: The best moments happen when people forget there’s a camera around. we move quietly, observing and waiting for those genuine interactions and emotions.
Respect the Space: M Shed is not just an event venue; it’s a museum. we always ensure our work aligns with the venue’s policies, such as avoiding flash near delicate exhibits.
