Storytelling event photography
With a background in photojournalism and a passion for storytelling, I specialize in documenting events from both an editorial and marketing perspective.
The end goal is always considered first: where will the photos be used, who is the intended audience, and how will the images portray the values and strengths of your organization?
Through strong and meaningful storytelling photography, corporate events are a powerful avenue to create image banks for annual reports, business branding, and internal documentation.
For this purpose I use a fly-on-the-wall approach to cover the full scope of your event in an un-obtrusive manner, while maintaining a friendly and engaging demeanour with staff and participants.
Storytelling event photography is an ideal way to capture key highlights and candid moments, at the same time showcasing the benefit of in-person events to build connection and camaraderie.

About Geoff
From small-city beginnings as a newspaper and editorial photographer, I have developed an appreciation for authentic storytelling and genuine emotion.
My freelance career spans over two decades covering multiple elections, CFL/NHL championships, Juno and Gemini awards, and international news events such as the Vancouver riots.
I've had the privilege of capturing global corporate events including the Kiwanis International Convention, New Balance World Summit, FSC General Assembly, Pokemon World Championships, and the International Conference on Residency Education.
That diversity of experience fostered a commitment for delivering thorough and thoughtful event coverage; where professionalism, meeting deadlines, and maintaining a friendly demeanour is key.
As a full-time event photographer based in Victoria BC, I live and work with respect on the traditional territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples on Vancouver Island.
I travel frequently between Victoria and Vancouver and am available for projects in both locations.
