AI speaker portraits · Conferences, London

Every speaker. One look.

For conference organisers: a matching portrait of every speaker, made from the photographs I take on the day. Next year's brochure, website and LinkedIn announcements stop looking like a collage.

£150 for up to ten speakers, with the event coverage.

Mock-up of a “Meet our speakers” brochure page with five matching speaker portraits by the Investing in Cellulose roll-up.

From the day to the brochure

Taken on stage. Made to match.

Left, a photograph from the talk: microphone, badge, notes, a pillar and a loudspeaker. Right, the portrait composed from that day's photographs, by the event roll-up in the Palm Court, in the same light as every other speaker.

Investing in Cellulose · The Waldorf Hilton · 9 November 2026

Nine speakers. One setting.

In the 2026 brochure the speaker photos came from many sources: colour and black and white, offices, a stage. These nine portraits were made from photographs taken on the day of the conference, and each one was approved by the speaker.

In the brochure

“Meet our speakers”, finally consistent.

The second page of the mock-up made for the organiser, CelCo. The same portraits go on the conference website and on each speaker announcement.

Second brochure page of the mock-up with four more matching speaker portraits.

Also from the same photographs

Four editions. Thirty seconds.

A teaser for the next invitations, cut from the photographs of four editions, 2023 to 2026: the room filling up, the Palm Court, the speakers, the Waldorf. Nothing from the talks themselves. Shown here as the draft presented to the organiser.

How it works

Your conference in. A line-up out.

  1. I photograph the event

    Each speaker is photographed during the day, on stage and in the breaks. No studio, no extra slot in the agenda.

  2. One setting for everyone

    From those photographs, AI composes a matching portrait of each speaker: same place, same light, same framing. Badges, lanyards and microphones go.

  3. Every speaker approves

    I check each face side by side with the real photographs, and every speaker sees and approves their portrait before it is used anywhere.

  4. Ready for next year

    Delivered in 4:5 for the brochure, the conference website and the speaker announcements on LinkedIn.

Pricing

Added to the coverage.

Both are made from the photographs I take at your event, so they come with the event coverage. Prices in GBP, no VAT charged. Larger line-ups are quoted within 24 hours.

  • Speaker portraits

    £150 for up to 10 speakers

  • Teaser film for next year

    Thirty seconds in 16:9 and 9:16, cut from the editions I have photographed, with music, voice-over and your next date on the end card.

Event coverage itself is priced on the event photography page.

Questions

Fair questions.

Is it still the speaker?

Yes. Each portrait is built from several real photographs of the speaker taken on the day, then checked against them face by face. Anything that does not look like the person is redone, and nothing is used until the speaker has approved it.

Why not a headshot session on the day?

Speakers arrive just before their slot and leave after it. A portrait corner needs them to queue; this needs nothing from them beyond the talk they came to give.

Are the portraits labelled as AI?

They are delivered as AI-assisted portraits, and I recommend saying so wherever they are published.

What about Chatham House events?

The portraits only use photographs of the speakers themselves. Nothing from the content of the talks, no sound, no slides.
