Photomedia first started specializing in convention coverage in 1971, at which time the company became a member of the Metropolitan Toronto Convention and Visitors Association. Since that time, both Photomedia and the city of Toronto have undergone many changes. We are now proud 32 year members of Tourism Toronto, and have undergone the necessary technological changes to keep up with Toronto's fast paced and complex Meeting and Convention market. Coverage is now available on film, purely digital or both simultaneously. Proofing and other output is available in timeframes that were unheard of ten years ago. If you have it on site - it can be photographed - and we can get results to you fast. From unobtrusive press type coverage to custom studio setups, we can do it all for you. We offer black and white, color and digital coverage, with in-house lab to meet rush deadlines. Our additional services include location photography for business portraits, exhibitors, products, large groups, Polaroid, and digital imaging output. Turnaround time is extremely fast, and finished product can be delivered to you in the Toronto area within hours if necessary. Our photographers can be available on very short notice in case of last minute changes, and are linked by cellular phone 24 hours a day.

Graphic design support and overnight output for press and posters are just some of the services available to the Convention Planning professional. Our comprehensive equipment inventory ranges from 20 foot wide canvas backgrounds to give your group that classic studio look to lighting powerful enough to evenly cover a 350 person group. (See Group Gallery) Camera and lighting equipment is of the highest quality and constantly updated to give you the benefit of the latest technology. Above all we have the experience to cover your convention in a smooth professional manner that will please all your attendees and provide you with the material to make your publications and presentations outstanding. Photomedia also provides your exhibitors with the same care and high quality coverage. Exhibitor's Handbook order form inserts for Exhibit photographs and Affiliated Meeting coverage are available on request at no charge. (See Exhibit Gallery)

We have had the privilege of covering thousands of meetings and conventions in the past 32 years, and the needs of each are as varied as the numbers. We've photographed 2000 people in 30 minutes as table shots and had a 350 person group shot with a seven minute deadline from start to finish. We have covered events from the air, in floating buses, on all form of watercraft, and dangling from cranes. We have been the exclusive photographer for the visits of Presidents and Prime Ministers with the Prime Minister of Canada for meetings in Toronto. (Details on request) From 30,000 doctors in one month, to 12,000 police officers in 3 days, we've covered Conventions in, and are intimately familiar with, every major Meeting venue in Toronto.

One client requested a full advertising/product/fashion shoot to be done in the morning and afternoon, and transparencies to be ready in one hour for viewing. From about 300 shots, all their advertising photography for current posters and future ads were to be drawn. Some were selected for 3 foot high blowup posters for the next day. Ad copy and text for the posters was provided for our designer's output. The working pieces were emailed back and forth during the night for final head office approval. Photomedia Productions provided all backgrounds, lighting and medium format coverage on site. Our design team assembled, printed and laminated all display and ad copy overnight. The result? One very happy client and a large group of impressed attendees the next day!
