I was lucky enough to shoot COLLINS House at Cannes Lions for two years in a row, and it remains one of my favourite events to document.

 

Created by design agency COLLINS and founder Brian Collins, and made possible by partners including VAST, Substack, Adobe, Coinbase, Pantone, Monotype, Diageo, Empire Entertainment, and LCS Events, it is a beautifully curated space at Château Les Alouettes that brings together creatives, founders, CMOs, artists, and emerging talent in a refreshingly non-hierarchical setting.

​

Across the week, I captured candid conversations, panel moments, portraits, and the atmosphere that makes COLLINS House feel so special. The guest list has included names such as Sir John Hegarty, will.i.am, Scott Galloway, Cindy Gallop, Taika Waititi, Richard Dickson, Keke Palmer, Seal, Brian Cox, and Emily Sundberg, alongside first-time founders, freelancers, illustrators, and global agency leaders.

COLLINS House was named Event of the Year by XP Land in its second year, a huge recognition for a space built around meaningful connection, bold ideas, and championing talent over status.

​

As a London and international event photographer, this is exactly the kind of work I love most: documenting a room full of creative energy, real conversations, and people who are shaping the future of the industry.
