simon bond
photographer & media manager
events
I am available to work as part of a media team or can provide full media management services. I can provide a full team of media professionals which may include photographers, videographers, drone operators, and social media specialists employed to post your event through social media channels in real- time. I can also provide event hosts, event presenters and promotional models who fit your brand and requirements.
If you require full event management in addition to media management, I work in association with 'One Three Events' management company and together we can organise your entire event from booking the venue to promotion, and stage/hospitality management on the day.
I have an extensive up to date events portfolio including this year alone, prestigious red-carpet events most recently with Amora Imani at The Savoy, Lifestyle and Fashion Awards, National Social Media Awards, London, Brooklyn and Paris Fashion Weeks, Miss World England and major festivals including Cannes Festival.
Here is a small selection of my 2025 events portfolio:
2025 Amora Imani at The Savoy, London
Organised by Amora Imani, this prestigious event incorporated the 2025 Amora Imani awards for excellence, a fashion show featuring the designers hand-made dresses worn by 123 Prada models.
As well as taking stills of the awards ceremony, award winners and the fashion show, I was also invited to take additional stills of the models in their dresses around the hotel.
2025 Cannes Festival, France
As part of my work as a photographer and media manager with the agency Sintillate Talent, I travelled to Cannes and worked on a 4-day shoot with agency management, promotional models and two beauty brands, Semper Beauty and Glow & Stow. I was responsible for producing product lifestyle content for the agency, which went on to be used by the brands for their website and their social media content and promotions.
2025 London Lifestyle Awards, London
Organised by Jason Gayle this event took place at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London. As well as capturing red carpet shots of the guests as they arrived at the hotel, I was tasked with capturing the main stage shots of the Lifestyle Awards category winners which were used for subsequent social media content and promotion.
2025 Sintillate Talent Agency
This is my second year working with Sintillate Talent, a multi-award winning international talent and Influencer agency, with representation in 18 countries worldwide. After my work with the agency in Cannes and Paris, I was honoured to be asked by the agency founder Sinan Sahin to join their management team. I love the 'supportive and positive family ethos' of this agency and am proud to be one of their ambassadors.
2025 Alternative Awards in association with 'One Three Events' management company
I was selected to manage a team of media professionals for this red-carpet event at The Athena Theatre, Leicester. Working alongside the event management team and the theatre event manager, I ensured that the team covered the whole event throughout the theatre. The following reference was subsequently given by the event manager.
"Simon Bond began working with me a few years ago as a photographer. From the outset, he proved to be highly professional, reliable, and very capable at his job. He is well liked by colleagues, consistently delivering high-quality work and conducting himself with a positive, professional attitude. Due to his strong work ethic and skill set, Simon was subsequently recruited to take on the role of Media Manager for the Alternative Awards. In this position, he has been exceptionally well organised and demonstrates a high level of passion and motivation for the work he does. He manages his responsibilities efficiently, communicates clearly, and brings creativity and commitment to the role. Simon has been excellent in this position, and I have complete confidence in his abilities. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a dedicated and talented media professional"

In my role as a media manager for the agency Sintillate Talent, I travelled to Paris with 13 agency models to cover The Creatives designer fashion show featuring fashion houses Angelo Estera, Vlada Dizik and Zora Couture. The images went on to be used by the designers for their social media channels and the models themselves for their fashion portfolios.
2025 London Fashion Week
Organised by the British Fashion Council, I have worked at London Fashion Week for the last 3 years. I have worked at a variety of London Fashion Week events including Fashion Show Live. I have also worked at London Fashion Week on behalf of fashion houses, designers, apparel companies, and model agencies as well as working for individual fashion models to expand their portfolios.
2025 Cheshire Fashion Week - Awards & Fashion Show
Cheshire Fashion Week draws inspiration from the global 'big four' Fashion Week events of Milan, London, Paris and New York and is now the largest fashion event in the UK outside of London. This two-day event comprised the Fashion Awards at Chester Town Hall followed the subsequent day by Cheshire Fashion Show in Chester Cathedral featuring international designers and models. I draw a lot of creative inspiration by working with fashion designers and models and love working at these events.
2025 National Social Media Award, London
The NSMA's was founded by Steven Byron and now in its 6th year this event takes place in London and Los Angeles and recognises the best talent in social media. My role was to capture red carpet shots of the nominees and attendees, then cover the stage awards with pictures of the category award winners.

Organised by Angie Beasley this is my second year being involved with Miss World England. As well as covering prior promotional events, I covered the 2025 semi-final and the grand final at Grand Central Station.

2025 Miss Swimsuit UK
This is my third year working with Miss Swimsuit UK, an international red carpet pageant leading to the Miss Swimsuit world finals in USA.
I have also worked with the founder Verena Twigg, managing the media at The Holistic Fashion Show as well as working at the Miss Swimsuit UK event heats around the country.
Seasonal & corporate events
My seasonal work includes Christmas, end of year, and New Years Eve parties and celebrations. I work for hotels, companies and agencies, my latest assignment was at The Savoy, London. My work can include red carpet arrival shots, group table shots, stage content and party shots. I aim to be discreet and unobtrusive as not everyone wants to be photographed. Images are provided direct to clients within the agreed timescales.
