"Quintessentially British" - the events photo libraries

Trooping the Colour, The Lord Mayor’s Show, The Boat Race, Henley Royal Regatta, The Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant - these are the classic quintessentially British events that are watched live on television by millions of people in hundreds of countries around the world. Events the international press is writing about, events attended by photographers, reporters and camera teams from all continents.

Photographing these splendid events has, for many years, been a dream of a German photographer - Harald Joergens. In 2009, this dream came true for the first time and it has continued to come true every year since.

A native German who lives in the UK and loves it! And of course he very much loves all these quintessentially British events too! To find out more about him please click here.

Fine Art Printing

Today’s display technology and internet speeds make watching photos on the web great fun. Today’s printing technology produces a unique level of quality that beats any computer display. Creating beautiful Fine Art Prints is, for this photographer, as enjoyable as shooting the great British events.

Specialist photography

The unlimited depth-of-field product photography is very different to the grand British outdoor events. It’s mostly indoor, much more technical and very much relies on fast computers, precision and detailed specialist knowledge. A line of work that might be called "Quintessentially German"!
