When Invest2Scale hosted their latest corporate gathering at the stylish Virgin Hotel in Edinburgh, I had the pleasure of documenting the full experience on behalf of Simpson Commercial Photography, my Glasgow-based commercial photography business. The goal was clear: capture the energy, professionalism and authenticity of the day while ensuring Invest2Scale’s brand identity shone through in every frame.

The event brought together ambitious business leaders, innovators and growth-focused thinkers for a day of insight-driven lectures, engaging podcast interviews and relaxed networking. As a commercial photographer, my role was to work unobtrusively—almost as a fly on the wall—to capture genuine moments that reflect the true spirit of the event.

H2: Authentic Corporate Event Photography at the Virgin Hotel Edinburgh

The Virgin Hotel provided a stunning modern backdrop, with vibrant interiors and dynamic spaces perfect for corporate photography. Throughout the day, I moved discreetly between rooms, capturing speakers in action, attendees deep in conversation, and the kind of candid interactions that give an event its unique personality.

By positioning myself naturally in the environment, I was able to document Invest2Scale’s narrative without interrupting the flow of the day. The resulting images presented the organisation’s brand with clarity and professionalism—ideal for digital campaigns, press releases, LinkedIn updates, or future event promotion.

H2: Capturing Lectures, Podcasts and Networking for Strong Brand Awareness

The variety of activities at the Invest2Scale event offered a fantastic mix of photographic opportunities:

Lectures & Keynote Sessions

Each talk was captured with attention to lighting, composition and speaker engagement, ensuring the images reflect the expertise and high-value insights being shared.

Podcast Interviews

The behind-the-scenes feel of the podcast sessions allowed for intimate, story-driven images—perfect for organisations looking to highlight their media presence and thought leadership.

Networking Moments

Authentic networking photos are essential for corporate branding, showcasing real connections and community. I focused on natural expressions, handshakes, shared laughs and meaningful conversations.

Throughout the shoot, brand visibility for Invest2Scale remained a priority—capturing signage, stage design, and branded materials in a way that felt organic, not staged.
