Capturing NEBOSH’s Graduation Awards at Warwick Arts Centre
Pete Martin Graduation Awards and Event Photography East Midlands
Earlier this month, I had the privilege of photographing NEBOSH’s annual Graduation Awards ceremonies at Warwick Arts Centre. The day was split into two sessions – one in the morning and one in the afternoon – with hundreds of graduates, families, and colleagues coming together to celebrate years of dedication and achievement.
A Natural Approach to Graduation Photography
NEBOSH wanted their graduation photography to feel authentic, capturing natural moments rather than only posed group shots. I focused on documenting candid interactions, celebrations, and the atmosphere outside the venue, using the surrounding spaces of Warwick Arts Centre as a backdrop. This gave the images a fresh, lively feel that really reflects the spirit of the day.
Overcoming Challenging Lighting Conditions
One of the main challenges of the day was the constantly changing natural light. With the sun shifting in and out behind clouds, the brightness levels altered minute by minute. This meant quickly adapting camera settings to ensure consistency and quality across the 1,700 images captured throughout the day. My experience in corporate and event photography helped me anticipate these changes, keeping the shots balanced and professional.
Client Feedback
The images were delivered promptly to the NEBOSH team, who were delighted with the results. Their kind words say it all:
“Thanks so much for getting these to us so quickly. The team have said how good the photos are 😊
Can you provisionally hold Monday, 7th September 2026 for our next Graduation?”
It’s always rewarding to know that my photography not only meets expectations but becomes part of a client’s long-term event planning.
Why Professional Graduation Photography Matters
A graduation is a milestone moment – for the graduates, their families, and the organisation itself. Having a professional photographer ensures that the energy, pride, and joy of the day are captured in a way that reflects both the individuals and the brand. For organisations like NEBOSH, these images are also vital for marketing, alumni engagement, and showcasing the success of their programmes.
Looking Ahead
I’m already looking forward to returning for NEBOSH’s 2026 Graduation. In the meantime, if your organisation is planning a corporate event, awards ceremony, or graduation celebration, and you’d like natural, professional photography that tells the story of the day, please do get in touch.
