Beer & Brewery Photography in London
I'm Sean McEmerson, a London-based photographer specialising in beer and brewery photography.My work is direct and authentic, showcasing the people, places, and processes behind each story. I work with independent breweries, pub owners, event organisers, and editorial teams to provide genuine, story-driven images that support their brand or publication. I shoot on-location in London and across the UK, bringing an editorial eye and a personable approach to every project.
Beer & brewery photography
I capture the brewing process, the taproom atmosphere, and the people behind the beer with documentary-style photography at your brewery. These images are ideal for showcasing your brewery’s story and craft in marketing materials, on websites, and across social media.
Pub & bar photography
Authentic images of pubs, bars, and taprooms that highlight the character of your venue and its patrons. I capture the ambience – from interior details to candid moments of customers – providing photos perfect for promoting your pub or bar.
Event photography
Documentary coverage of events such as beer festivals, brewery openings, and pub gatherings. I focus on candid, unscripted moments to give a genuine record of your event’s energy and atmosphere.
Editorial photography
Commissioned photography for magazines, newspapers, and online publications, shot with a strong narrative focus. Whether it’s a feature on a brewery or a travel story, I create images that complement your article and engage readers.
Portraits & people
I shoot editorial-style portraits of the people behind the beer – brewers, owners, staff, and enthusiasts. I always work on location to keep these portraits relaxed and authentic, making them ideal for profiles, press releases, or adding a human face to your brand.
Long-form documentary projects
Extended photography projects documenting subjects over time, providing a deeper narrative. From following a brewery through a full brewing season to covering a community beer initiative, I offer consistent visual storytelling that captures the evolution of your story.
I am keen to explore this style of photography more. If you have a project in mind, I'd love to hear about it.
