Commercial & Event Photographer in Leeds
Leeds runs on business: finance, law, tech, hospitality, and the events that bring them all together. When one of those events matters, you want a photographer who reads the room as well as the camera.
I'm Chris Whittam, an award-winning corporate and event photographer working across Leeds and the North of England. I've been trusted by some of the country's biggest names, including WWE, Hilton, Domino's, Battersea Dogs & Cats Home and the UK Space Agency, alongside Leeds-headquartered firms such as NG Bailey. Based in Wakefield, a short run up the M1, I cover Leeds with no travel fees and no out-of-town guesswork.
Corporate and event photography across Leeds
Whether it's a conference at the first direct Arena, an awards dinner at New Dock Hall, a brand launch in the city centre or headshots at your office, I capture the moments that make your business look its best: conferences, awards evenings, brand activations, team headshots and commercial content, all delivered to a brief.
Why Leeds businesses choose me
I know the city and its venues, from the Royal Armouries to the hotels and conference spaces across the centre, so I arrive ready rather than finding my feet. Every booking is built around what your business actually needs: same-day highlights for your social and PR, the full edited gallery delivered fast and ready to publish, and full commercial usage rights as standard. You can see my photography pricing in full, with no hidden extras.
Event photographer for Leeds conferences, awards and launches
From a 300-guest awards night to an intimate boardroom session, I've covered events of every size. Three-time Yorkshire Prestige Award winner and Wakefield Digital & Creative Business of the Year 2025, with 46 five-star reviews and a 100% recommendation rate on Bark.
Photographer teams for larger events
For conferences, awards evenings and multi-room events, one camera is not enough. I field photographer teams, project managed end to end: one point of contact, one consistent editing style across every camera, one invoice. Team dress codes, risk assessments and method statements are handled as standard. I have delivered team coverage for national brands including Domino's, and I work white label for agencies. I can also organise video alongside the photography: my video team is led by a producer with a Masters degree in Media Production, so one booking and one point of contact covers stills and film. Teams are priced per brief, so tell me about the event and I will build the cover it needs. Read the Domino's awards case study.
