Event Photographer Manchester
Manchester is a city that knows how to put on an event, whether it’s the buzz of a sold-out stadium, the energy of a major awards night or the focus of a high-profile business event. These moments deserve to be captured with care and precision. Based in and around Manchester, Nathan Stirk works with leading brands, sports organisations and event teams to document these occasions with a sharp eye and a thoughtful approach.
Pitchside at Old Trafford or the Etihad or behind the scenes at a red carpet gala or inside a buzzing conference room, Nathan brings a combination of editorial instinct and commercial savvy.
Event Photographer in Manchester for Sports & Entertainment Events
Nathan has built a reputation for delivering reliable event photography in Manchester across some of Manchester’s most high-profile occasions.
At the 2024 PFA Awards, he was on hand to photograph Premier League football stars including Manchester City player Phil Foden, Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, club legend Gianfranco Zola and England Women’s football icon Jill Scott. His lens also captured Manchester-based rapper Aitch, blending sport and entertainment in images that were media-ready. These photographs could be used for press releases, player socials and official club media channels.
During The Hundred 2024 cricket match at Old Trafford, Nathan captured the energy of the Manchester Originals in action. His coverage brought the intensity, colour and atmosphere of the day to life from crowd reactions to key moments on the field.
Nathan was also the official photographer for the Davis Cup tie between Great Britain and Finland, covering not only the on-court action but also the elegant pre-gala dinner that brought together athletes, sponsors and stakeholders in an exclusive evening at one of Manchester’s premium venues.
His work for Manchester City’s ‘A Time for Giving’ event featured club legend Kevin De Bruyne and then-rising star Cole Palmer. Nathan captured authentic moments between players and fans, perfect for both the club’s PR team and their engagement with their community content.
To mark the 10th Anniversary of the Barclays Women’s Championship, Nathan was approached by The FA to photograph an official event at the iconic Manchester Football Museum. His photos showcased the history, progress and personality of the women’s game, aiding towards a larger narrative on equality and evolution in sport.
Event Photography for PR, Social Media and Brands
Nathan’s photography is set apart by how his images can serve multiple purposes, like if you’re a PR team looking for press focused photos, a brand needing content for social campaigns or an event agency looking for a highlight reel of visuals, Nathan delivers event photography that makes an impact.
His photography has featured on national newspapers, broadcast graphics, social media platforms and internal communications. He’s skilled at finding those moments that can make an impact via social media and other bits of content like the celebration of a goal, the moment a speaker connects with the audience.
From live sports to business conferences and launch parties to community events, Nathan adapts his style and approach to fit your tone and objective. His images are always clear, well-thoughtout and emotionally resonant.
