Just 3 simple steps to book your event photographer

Contact us

Write to me using the contact form on my website, call me or send me an email. You are also welcome to leave me your phone number so that I can call you back. We will then discuss the details of your event and clarify any open questions.

Offer received

After we discuss the details, I will provide you with a custom quote tailored to your needs and requirements. This includes all the services you can expect from me as an event photographer, as well as the price for my service.

Confirm booking

If you agree with my offer, confirm the booking by e-mail or phone. I will then keep the date free for you and prepare for the event. On the day of the event, I will then be on site on time and capture all the important moments for you in pictures.

What visual language can you expect?

I prefer a natural and reportage-like visual language in which I behave as inconspicuously as possible. Although I'm not exactly invisible at 1.90 meters, I act discreetly and am still present when it counts.
My approach is to let things happen and to shoot authentic, vivid photos that emerge directly from the moment.
This is how I capture new perspectives of your event with my camera.
It is often the small, unnoticed moments that make a picture special and reveal the true value of an event. These photos keep the memory alive for your guests and support the promotion of future events.

Eventfotograf Hamburg Patrick Lux tooltips

The right dress code is simply part of it, because it gives the event its framework. Let's discuss before the event.

Instant pictures during the event? No problem. For social media or for sharing with the press. Directly on site.

The equipment is important for my work, of course. Besides cameras, lenses and many memory cards, eyes and instinct are my most valuable tools.

My photo archive is online around the clock and double backed up. In case the link to the online gallery is in the wrong mailbox and images are needed quickly.

Built in '82 and with over 20 years experience photographing events large and small.

Hamburg may be my (adopted) home, but I feel at home in the world. I speak fluent English, French and even Luxembourgish.

What could be more personal than a photo of your guests printed out at the event directly to take home? With your logo, motto and advertising message?

With my modern photo printers, this can be done in seconds.

Make more of your event with pictures!

All events have one thing in common: they are always over far too quickly.
If you work with me, you will have enough material to review your event on websites, in newsletters and social media and also to advertise follow-up events.
Your competitors will be envious of what was going on, guests will remember your event fondly and you will even reach target groups that weren’t even there.
You get the good feeling that all the work, time and financial outlay was worth it.

"Good memories are our second chance at happiness."

Queen Elizabeth II.

What does an event photographer do?

An event photographer is booked for numerous business and public events to capture important moments and professional impressions. Business events include corporate events such as product presentations, trade show appearances, business openings, company parties, team building events, networking events, conferences, seminars, workshops, galas and award ceremonies. Here the focus is on the visual documentation of the atmosphere, the participants, important program points and presentations. Event photographers are also in demand for cultural and sporting events, including concerts, theater performances, festivals, exhibitions, vernissages, readings, film screenings, sports tournaments, charity events and fashion shows. The aim here is to capture the energy and dynamics of the event, the artists, athletes and the audience in impressive images. In all cases, an event photographer’s goal is to create high-quality photos that authentically and engagingly capture the essence and highlights of the event in question.

Event photography combines various elements of photojournalism, reportage photography, sports photography, portrait photography and press photography. Depending on the requirements and the assignment, the photographic focus shifts. An event photographer must be able to adapt to rapidly changing circumstances, for example with regard to the light, and react flexibly. In contrast to other photographers in the field of architecture or studio photography, he does not create the circumstances of the shot himself, but has to work with what is available on location. This includes the skill of quickly providing the footage for press or social media. He usually works alone or in a team with other event photographers.

A professional event photographer has the necessary equipment, experience and know-how to present your event in the best lights. They ensure that important moments are captured and provide high-quality photos that you can later use for marketing purposes or as keepsakes.

The title of event photographer is not protected and practically anyone can call themselves that. Accordingly, the range of offers for event photographers in Hamburg is very wide. As in many industries, there are premium providers who are characterized by a special level of quality and service, as well as amateurs who want to earn a few extra marks. Professional event photographers are primarily aimed at corporate events, while amateurs are more likely to be found at private events. An exception here is wedding photography. Event photographers in the higher price segment usually have a particularly large wealth of experience as far as the photography of events of any kind is concerned and are available to you from the beginning with advice and support. They do not only have their task in mind, but also deal with how their photos will be used and how the goals of the event can be achieved with the help of the event photos (e.g. in the press). They do not see themselves purely as a service provider.
Booking through an agency for photographers sounds tempting at first: nationwide availability of photographers and no time-consuming search. But this is precisely where the disadvantages lie: The agency’s contact person is not on site during the event and there are “silent mail” effects. If you hire me, you will be dealing with the same person from start to finish. And even if agencies don’t like to communicate this transparently: Every agency needs a commission for placing orders. Even if it is not called commission: You always pay an agency share that does not reach the photographer.

If you like immediately! For social media posts, press releases and website. Using the latest digital technology, I will provide you with the images you need for current communication directly after the shooting, if you wish. The wide selection you will receive directly after completion. And even when there’s a lot to do, you can download professional image editing conveniently.

It is advisable to book an event photographer at least 1-2 months in advance to ensure they are available. If you are planning an event during peak season, you should book even earlier to make sure you find the right photographer.

Ask about their experience, portfolio, pricing and if they are able to meet your specific needs. Make sure you also discuss their availability and cancellation policies.

Photos can be a powerful marketing tool to promote your event and increase engagement with your target audience. Here are some ways you can use the photos:

1. social media platforms: Share the photos on various social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn. Create a special hashtag campaign to increase the engagement of your target group.
2. Website: Use the photos to create a photo gallery on your website. This can help raise awareness of your event and increase the interest of the target group.
3. Promotional materials: Use the photos in promotional materials such as flyers, posters or advertisements to promote the event.
4. Email marketing: Use the photos in email marketing campaigns to increase the engagement of your target group and raise awareness of the event.
5. Follow-up: Use the photos to create a follow-up to the event. This can help document the experience of the target audience and gather feedback for future events.

By using the photos on different channels, you can reach your target group and increase engagement and interest in your event.

It is important to provide your event photographer with all the important details and requirements for the event in advance. This includes the location, date and time of the event, the number of guests, the flow of the event, special requirements such as dress code or decoration, as well as your expectations of the photographer. If there are certain moments that you absolutely want to capture, you should discuss those with the photographer as well. The more information the photographer has in advance, the better they can prepare for the event and ensure they capture all the important moments.

As an event photographer, I can also provide video services to capture your event. However, it is important to discuss in advance what your expectations are for the video footage and what requirements need to be met. If you choose to combine photography and videography, we need to make sure that both services can coexist and that neither is compromised. We should also discuss how extensive the video recordings should be and whether certain moments or events should be captured in particular. It is also important to clarify whether post-processing of the videos is necessary and whether this will incur additional costs. Please understand that the inclusion of video increases the amount of work and may affect the price. However, we can work together to find a solution that meets your needs and ensures that both photo and video services are performed to the highest standards.

As a professional event photographer, I am often active in the larger cities of Northern Germany, including Hamburg, Bremen, Hanover and Kiel. I also like to work in smaller cities like Lüneburg, Flensburg and Rostock, where I can develop my creativity. Another highlight of my work is the island of Sylt, where I have accompanied many events. Overall, I appreciate the variety of places I visit as an event photographer, as it allows me to keep gaining new impressions and improve my photography skills.
