I photographed Stripe Tour 2025 across three cities — London in May, Paris in June and Berlin in July. Stripe’s developer and business conference travels through Europe, and each stop brought a different venue, a different audience and the same requirement: keynote and product-announcement coverage, speakers on stage, delegate candids, and the branding and production detail that marketing teams need afterwards.

The brief for Stripe Tour 2025
Stripe needed a consistent visual record across three cities and three very different rooms — a modern exhibition centre at ExCeL London, a nineteenth-century trading hall at Palais Brongniart in Paris, and a contemporary conference space in Berlin. The images had to read as one event rather than three, while still showing what made each stop distinct. Coverage ran from doors opening through to the closing sessions, with the main stage prioritised throughout.
Delivery
Edited images from each city delivered as a licensed digital gallery covering marketing, PR, social and internal communications use.
Working a tour across three cities
A touring conference is a different problem from a single event. The running order changes, the rooms change, and the light changes with them — ExCeL’s halls are built for scale, the arched hall at Palais Brongniart carries daylight from above, and every stage had its own production lighting. Arriving early enough to scout each room, and shooting to a consistent look across all three, is what makes the set usable as one body of work rather than three separate jobs.
