Meet Andon — The Photographer Behind Photo 8

I’m Andon Zhelyazkov — corporate and event photographer

Photo 8 is me — one photographer, not an agency. For more than 18 years I’ve photographed corporate events across the UK — conferences, award dinners, charity balls, headshots and everything in between: thousands of events over those years, from small board dinners to evenings with more than 1,700 guests. When you book Photo 8, I’m the one who answers your email, plans the coverage and turns up with the cameras.

My promise is simple: no hidden fees, event coverage from £450, and your edited photo library delivered within 24 hours. I’m fully insured and always carry backup equipment, so a technical problem is never your problem.

Clients include Walt Disney, English National Opera, Virgin Media, Manchester United, Everton FC, Burberry and the British Society for Haematology. Highlights include Everton in the Community’s 30th anniversary Gala Dinner, matchday hospitality photography at Manchester United’s Aon Training Complex and on-site delegate headshots for the British Society for Haematology at the Exhibition Centre Liverpool — you can read the full case studies.

Working alongside me is Desi — photography assistant and the engine behind our instant on-site printing, making sure guests take a professional print home minutes after the photo is taken.

One recent conference client, Cameron Clark, put it like this: “5* service throughout… the photos have come out great and we couldn’t be happier.”

Events We’ve Covered

A few moments that stick with me from the last 18 years:

  • A corporate evening with Everton legend Tim Cahill — guests photographed with a club hero and prints in their hands the same night.
  • Everton in the Community’s 30th anniversary Gala Dinner — green screen photography with first-team players and sponsors, prints on the night and a digital copy emailed to every guest.
  • Print-on-site at Manchester United’s Aon Training Complex — matchday hospitality photography with United legend Peter Schmeichel (2017).
  • Our pop-up headshot studio at Exhibition Centre Liverpool — over 250 delegates photographed across three days at the British Society for Haematology’s conference.

Every one of these ran on the same approach: agree the setup and the must-have shots in advance, work quickly and unobtrusively on the day, and deliver the edited library fast. If that’s the kind of coverage you want for your own event, browse the case studies or get in touch.
