Press conference and launch photography in Barcelona: the photos the media need
How to cover a press conference or product launch in Barcelona: the photos the media ask for, the group shot, same-day delivery and prices from €450 + VAT.
By Juanjo Vega Santa-Cruz · Noomadik
A press conference is well covered with 2-3 hours of photography, which at Noomadik starts at €450 + VAT including the edited gallery. What matters is not so much the length as being clear about the photos the media will ask for, and being able to send them the same day, while the story is still fresh.
The photos the media ask for
Journalists who could not attend, and many who did, will use your photos. These are the ones you cannot miss:
- The speakers at the table or lectern, with the branded backdrop or photocall visible and readable.
- A group shot of all the speakers, standing, at the start or the end. It is the most published photo.
- Close-ups of each speaker talking, with natural expressions.
- The product, if one is being launched: on its own, in the speakers’ hands and in context.
- The room with the journalists: proof of media attendance for the event report.
- One-off moments: an agreement signing, a demo, a reveal.
Formats
- Landscape for print and online press, which is what newsrooms usually use.
- Portrait for social media and media stories.
- High resolution for print and a light version for email or your online newsroom.
How to plan it
- Send the run of show: speaker arrival, start, Q&A and close.
- A list of speakers with names and job titles, so every photo is correctly identified.
- Set aside 5 minutes for the group shot, before or after the press conference. If it is not planned, it rarely happens.
- Check the backdrop: the logo at head height, with no reflections or visible cables.
- Decide who sends the photos to the media and when, so the express selection arrives in time.
If there are guests or celebrities as well as press, the photocall deserves its own plan. We explain it in our guide to photocall and celebrities at brand events.
Same-day delivery
A press conference is news on the day. With the express selection we send you 20 to 40 edited photos a few hours later, ready to attach to the press release or post on your website. Our guide to same-day event photos explains how it works. The full gallery arrives within 5-7 working days.
If the photos will be published in the media, the people in them should know. See our guide to image rights and GDPR at corporate events.
Video and soundbites
For the website and social media, short soundbites from each speaker on video work very well, and the same footage can be cut into a highlights video. It is filmed by a videographer, who is not the photographer, working at the same time. Prices and timings are in our guide to the event highlights video.
