Event Photography in Wanowrie, Pune

Event coverage in Wanowrie — including the setting up, which is where the people who made it happen actually are.

Before the doors open

The people who organised an event are only visible before it starts.

Once it is running they are behind things, dealing with problems, and out of every photograph taken all evening.

An hour before the doors open they are all in one room, doing the work, and easy to photograph properly.

That is the only opportunity, and it is missed at almost every event because coverage begins when guests arrive.

It is worth more than an equivalent hour at the end, which is generally people leaving and chairs being stacked.

The same hour also covers the room as it was intended to look, before anybody has moved anything.

Ask for it at booking. It changes the start time rather than the length.

It is worth photographing the practical work as well as the programme.

Chairs being carried, a banner being straightened, somebody testing a microphone for the fourth time. That is what an event is made of.

None of it is on any schedule and all of it is easy to photograph, because nobody minds being seen doing it.

It is also worth covering the clearing away, which is done by the same handful of people every time.

They are the ones who will still be there when everybody else has gone, and they never appear in a single photograph of the evening.

Twenty minutes at the end covers it, if the booking allows.

Getting ready

Arriving before the doors open

Ask us to start an hour before doors rather than when guests arrive. It is the only time the organisers are photographable.

That hour also covers the room as intended, before anybody moves anything.

Tell us who is coordinating and where to find them.

Why cover the setting up?

Because the people who organised it are only visible before it starts. Once it is running they are behind things and out of every photograph.

Is that worth an hour?

More than an equivalent hour at the end, which is generally people leaving and chairs being stacked.

Which areas do you cover?

Wanowrie, Fatima Nagar, Ghorpadi, Hadapsar, Salunke Vihar, Wadgaon Sheri and Koregaon Park.

Do you cover community and corporate events?

Yes — gatherings, festivals, prize evenings and dinners.

Do you photograph prize-givings?

Yes, and they need the recipient list beforehand.

We do not have a fixed schedule.

Common. Tell us who knows what is happening next.

How long do you stay?

As long as you book. These often overrun, so agree the window.

Does this replace what we booked?

Never. Whatever you booked is the main part of the session and gets done properly. This is an addition, usually ten or fifteen minutes.

It feels strange to ask for.

It does, and it stops feeling strange about five minutes in. That reluctance is extremely common and it is not a reason to skip it.

Do we need to prepare anything for it?

No, and preparing would defeat it. The point is the thing as it actually is rather than as it would be if it had been arranged.

How do we book?

Send us the date and what you have in mind, and you get a clear quote for the coverage you actually need.
