About Geoff Howe

I’m a Victoria BC event photographer specializing in conference and corporate event coverage across British Columbia.

My career has included roles as a staff newspaper photographer, freelance photographer for national news organizations, and staff photographer at the University of Victoria, shaping a photojournalistic approach focused on authentic storytelling.

Since 2001 I have photographed everything from major news events and federal elections to international conferences, including the CLIA International Cruise Conference, Pokemon World Championships, and the FSC General Assembly.

Today, I bring that editorial experience to corporate, government, and association events across BC, creating authentic images that tell the story of each event.

Frequently Asked Questions

I photograph a wide range of events including corporate and public sector gatherings, conferences, association meetings, government relations, media events, grand openings, fundraising galas, and networking functions.

Images are delivered in high-res .jpg format via Google Drive within 3-5 business days. The gallery will be kept active for 60 days, allowing you to view, download, or share the images as needed.

Each assignment is unique, but typically 25–50 images per hour of coverage are delivered. I document events thoroughly to ensure all key moments are covered.

All delivered images receive colour correction, exposure adjustment, and basic retouching.

Yes, I ask for a 50% non-refundable retainer (deposit) to secure your booking. Once it’s paid, your date is confirmed, and the retainer is applied to your final invoice.

The retainer is non-refundable; however, with more than 30 days’ notice, the remaining balance is typically waived. Cancellations within 30 days may be subject to the full fee.
