The brief for this three-day event sounded straightforward: cover the main conference at Hyatt Canberra, pre-conference workshops at ANU, the welcome reception at Verity Lane Market, and the big gala dinner. In practice, it meant sprinting between venues, navigating dimly lit rooms, capturing networking moments, branded sponsor displays, and somehow wrangling delegates for group shots without a megaphone.
One highlight nobody was expecting? The gala dinner’s surprise Serbian dance performance—guests swapped lanyards for dance moves, and the energy could’ve powered half the city.
A lot of corporate event photography comes down to reading the room (and, sometimes, translating “Can you get my good side?” into action). But AUSIT’s 2025 conference went beyond the basics:
Keynotes & Panels: Every big moment and off-mic exchange, shot on silent shutter so nobody’s eardrums suffered.
Workshops & Networking: From academic discussions at ANU to those after-hours chats at Verity Lane Market, every handshake, hug, and “what language was that?” got a look-in.
Sponsor Branding: Documenting everything from sponsor booths to branded napkins—gold for annual reports and marketing collateral.
Headshots on Demand: Headshots for speakers and delegates right there at the event, no stuffy studio required.
Gala Dinner Antics: Besides formal presentations and awards, it was the spontaneous Serbian dancing that stole the show—and made for some of the best candid event shots of the year.

Covering an event like AUSIT 2025 isn’t just about being a fly on the wall. It means balancing tight schedules, never missing a handshake, and delivering images the same night for instant social and press use. Quick image delivery is standard on all conference jobs, because no one wants to wait weeks for photos of their winning dance moves.
Plus, events like these are perfect for capturing those “real life” moments—translators swapping stories, old friends catching up, and plenty of action for anyone into people-watching (or people-photographing).

After three days, one thing is clear: translators and interpreters are some of the most fascinating people you’ll meet at any professional gathering. The stories traded between sessions, the wild mix of backgrounds, and a knack for breaking into spontaneous celebrations (see: Serbian folk dancing) set this crowd apart from the average business event.
If you’re after event photography with less cheese and more character—whether it’s corporate headshots, trade show coverage, or even portraits for your next campaign—there’s more on the Shameless Visuals homepage.
When it comes to covering national conferences, the gear bag is as important as the coffee supply. Nikon mirrorless cameras handled everything from keynote speakers to candid portraits and sponsor shots. For anything that needed a bird’s-eye view or some extra context, the drone kit came along for the ride.

Written by Corey from Shameless Visuals, based in Adelaide, but looking after clients nationally. Most days he’s either editing with a coffee that went cold an hour ago, or he’s driving between shoots with gear rattling in the back. Outside of work he’s parenting, hiking, travelling, and trying to squeeze in actual sleep between deadlines.
Corey shoots because he enjoys the mix of people, places, and the occasional chaos. One day it’s a headshot session, the next it’s a conference, a factory floor, a wedding, or a late-night real estate job. When video is needed, he’s usually running two bodies, a gimbal, and pretending cables magically untangle themselves.
