Brand Activations, Conferences & Corporate Events

Cannes Lions transforms the Croisette and surrounding venues into a hub of creative energy. Beachfront installations, agency gatherings and conference sessions take place throughout the week.

Carl documents these events in a relaxed and unobtrusive way, creating natural, editorial-style images and video content that can be used for press coverage, social media and marketing.

VIP Hospitality & Evening Events

Away from the conference programme, Cannes Lions is equally known for its private hospitality events. From luxury yacht parties and villa receptions to rooftop gatherings overlooking the Mediterranean, these events are an important part of the festival.

Carl captures the atmosphere of these occasions while allowing guests to enjoy the moment naturally.
