Commercial photography
From awards ceremonies and conferences to PR launches and corporate portraits, I provide professional commercial photography for businesses across Birmingham, the Midlands and beyond. I'm regularly commissioned to produce images for education, health, corporate and industrial clients — for publications, delegate visits, websites and social media.
Based just two miles from Birmingham city centre, I know many of the region's venues inside out and I'm a familiar, calm presence at events large and small. And with up-to-the-minute kit, I can send selected images straight from the camera during your event — ready for social media before the day is even over.

— Leonie Carnall – Communications – PhidexWe hired Nicola to take both profile and group photos of staff members for our new company website. Nicola was friendly and professional and a great communicator. We were restricted in terms of office space available, but Nicola was still able to fulfil the brief, getting the best possible shots. The photographs were available shortly after the session and look great on our website. Thank you
On location
From large conferences to intimate launches, I'm a regular at the region's leading venues.
Conference Aston, based on Aston University’s city-centre campus, offers a versatile setting for business conferences, training days and corporate events, with modern meeting rooms, dedicated delegate facilities and a relaxed campus atmosphere. Just a 10–15 minute walk from Birmingham New Street, Moor Street and Snow Hill stations, it’s conveniently located for delegates travelling from across the region.

Edgbaston Park Hotel and Conference Centre offers a welcoming setting for corporate conferences, business meetings and networking events, surrounded by the leafy grounds of the University of Birmingham campus.

With extensive experience photographing events and exhibitions and events at the NEC Birmingham, I understand how to capture the atmosphere, excitement and key moments that make every occasion special. The NEC is an outstanding venue, hosting a fantastic variety of exhibitions, trade shows and events throughout the year. My familiarity with the venue allows me to work confidently and professionally, capturing high-quality images that showcase both the event and the people who make it memorable.
The ICC Birmingham is one of the city’s best-known destinations for large-scale conferences, conventions and business events, set alongside the canals in the vibrant Brindleyplace area.
