Corporate and event photography in London
Reliable, discreet photography for events, conferences, and brand work, delivered clearly, on time, and without fuss.
I'm Lusy, a documentary-style photographer based in London. My approach is the same whether I'm photographing a wedding, a corporate headshot session, or a black-tie gala — I stay close to the room, capture things as they actually happen, and let genuine moments carry the story rather than posed ones.
On the events side, I'm the regular photographer for ZIMA Magazine, London's leading Russian-speaking culture publication, covering everything from galas and private screenings to intimate club evenings. I've also worked with clients including Whetstone Limited on corporate photography, bringing the same candid, unobtrusive style to brand and headshot work.
I'm bilingual in English and Russian, which means I move easily between both communities — a natural fit for events that bring London's Russian-speaking cultural scene together.
Son v Zimnyuyu Noch — ZIMA Gala, The Underglobe, London
Every January, ZIMA Magazine — London's leading Russian-language culture publication — hosts a black-tie gala for Old New Year, and this year I was the photographer behind the lens. Son v Zimnyuyu Noch ("A Winter Night's Dream") took over The Underglobe, the underground space beneath Shakespeare's Globe, for an evening of live music and theatre, including a rare, intimate performance from Boris Grebenshchikov.
My job was to move through the room and catch the evening as it actually unfolded — guests arriving, reacting, connecting between performances — rather than lining people up for posed shots. That's the same documentary approach I bring to weddings and family sessions: stay close, stay unobtrusive, and let the real moments carry the story.
In November 2025, I photographed a closed-door screening at a historic Dean Street cinema in London — a rough cut of a new documentary on Slava Polunin, the clown Slava's Snow Show made legendary worldwide, followed by a reception at ZIMA Restaurant. The guest list read like a who's who of the artists whose work shaped his story, including Terry Gilliam, co-creator of Monty Python, who worked alongside Polunin on Slava's Diabolo in 1996, and Roland Muldoon, the former Hackney Empire director who first brought Polunin's show to London decades ago.
It's the kind of evening where the story is as much in the room as on screen — old friends and collaborators reconnecting, quiet conversations breaking into laughter. My focus was on catching that atmosphere as it happened: genuine, unposed, and true to the emotion of the night.
