Event photography in Birmingham and Warwickshire
Event Photography in Birmingham and Warwickshire
Here are some photos from various business shows, at Edgbaston, Birmingham, Stoneleigh, Warwickshire, the Ricoh Stadium, Coventry, Aston Villa Stadium, Birmingham and the King Power Stadium, Leicester. They are run by the Midlands Business Network, and have over 1000 attendees at each show. I’ve taken photos of the stands, to show how busy they are, the speakers and speed networking.
An event photographer has to think on their feet, be very personable, aware of what’s going on, and be unobtrusive. It’s trickier than you might think!
I’m an event photographer based in Warwickshire, just south of Birmingham.
Micheal Vaughan in 2019
Micheal Vaughan in 2019
Micheal Vaughan OBE was England cricket captain for the test team from 2003 to 2008. He famously was captain when England beat Australia with a 2–1 victory in the 2005 Ashes, England’s first Ashes victory since 1986/87.
He is now a cricket commentator and writer. In March 2019 he spoke at the Midlands Business Network Expo at Edgbaston in Birmingham. I had a brief chat with him (we were both born in Sheffield so we got on fine) & took a few photos. He’s a nice chap! He gave an entertaining and insightful talk, with several stories about the post-Ashes celebrations involving Freddy Flintoff. The interviewer Dave Sharpe brought the best out of him.

John Barnes in 2019
John Barnes in 2019
John Barnes is a bit of a legend. The ex-England footballer scored one of England’s best goals ever, against Brazil in 1984. He sang a rap in the official England 1990 World Cup song, World in Motion, which wasn’t bad at all. He also won a few trophies and titles with Liverpool and other clubs.
He is now a football pundit and speaks out about discrimination, bias and racism – in sport and generally. He is genuinely passionate about it. In Oct 2019 he spoke at the Midlands Business Network Expo at Edgbaston in Birmingham. I had a brief chat with him & took a few photos. He gave a thought-provoking talk and was entertaining as well. He even performed the rap!
