ABOUT


FAQs


I'm Erik Stjernström, London-based photographer and founder of Makers Morrow. I have photographed some of the most recognisable names in film, music and culture, and I'm trusted in rooms where discretion matters: nothing is shared without permission, and I'm happy to sign an NDA.

I came to event photography from the other side of the brief. Before founding Makers Morrow, I spent my career in commercial leadership, working with brands across fashion, retail, hospitality and lifestyle. I have commissioned photography, signed off the budgets and waited on the images.

That shapes how I shoot. I work from your objectives as well as your running order: the sponsor who needs to be seen, the speaker your press team will lead with, the full room that sells next year's tickets, the details that tell guests who you are. Then I stay out of the way.

Where are you based and what does travel cost?

I'm based in London. Travel within zones 1 to 6 is included in each package. Outside London, travel is quoted in advance.

How do I book and is there a deposit?

Send the date, location and a short brief. A 50% deposit secures the date, with the balance due within 7 days following the event.

What is your cancellation policy?

Full refund up to 30 days before the event. After that the deposit is retained.

Are you insured?

Yes. I hold public liability insurance and can send the certificate to your venue.

What if the event runs over?

I'll stay if you need me. Extra time is charged at £200 per hour, agreed with you on the day.

Do you work from a shot list?

Yes. Before the event we agree the key moments, people and sponsor requirements, and I work to that alongside candid coverage.

How and when do I receive the images?

Through a private online gallery within 3 to 5 working days, in high resolution and web ready sizes. Same day, next day and live selects are available as add ons.

What can I use the images for?

Your website, social channels, PR and owned marketing. Paid advertising and third party use are quoted separately.

Do you offer video or a second photographer?

Yes, quoted on request

Do your prices include VAT?

No. All prices are shown excluding VAT, which is added to your invoice at the standard rate.

How much notice do you need?

Two weeks is ideal, but I can often cover events at short notice. Please note that booking deposits made within 30 days of the event are non-refundable. Send the date and I'll confirm availability within 24 hours.

London Luxury Event Photography for Brands, Hospitality and Culture

Makers Morrow provides luxury event photography in London for brands, cultural institutions, private members’ clubs, premium hospitality groups, fashion labels, and high end lifestyle companies looking to capture atmosphere with intention.

We specialise in cinematic event photography that feels editorial rather than corporate, documenting the energy, detail, and personality behind some of London’s most culturally relevant events. From luxury brand launches and intimate dinners to film premieres, fashion events, gallery openings, private parties, and cultural programming, our focus is always on creating imagery that people genuinely want to engage with.

Our work combines documentary style storytelling with a refined luxury aesthetic, helping brands create content that feels authentic, elevated, and socially native across Instagram, press, editorial, and digital campaigns.

As a London event photographer working closely with hospitality, culture, and luxury brands, we understand the importance of discretion, timing, guest experience, and brand alignment. Whether capturing candlelit dinners, live performances, founder moments, celebrity guests, or behind the scenes atmosphere, we focus on producing images that extend the life and impact of an event far beyond the night itself.

We regularly work across London’s leading cultural and hospitality spaces, including private members’ clubs, cinemas, luxury retail environments, restaurants, bars, galleries, and premium event venues.
