Every year, the Lincolnshire Care Awards bring together some of the most dedicated and hardworking individuals in the care sector for a night of recognition, celebration, and well-deserved appreciation. Organised by The Lincolnshire Care Association, the event simply wouldn't go ahead without their hard work and dedication. As a photographer, it’s an absolute privilege to be part of this extraordinary event, capturing moments that highlight the compassion and dedication that define this vital industry.
Held at the stunning DoubleTree by Hilton on Lincoln’s Brayford Pool, the awards ceremony is a night to remember. The venue itself provides a beautiful backdrop, with its modern elegance and views of Lincoln Cathedral and the Brayford Pool, making it the perfect setting to honor the achievements of those who make such a difference in people’s lives.
The care sector often works tirelessly behind the scenes, ensuring the well-being of individuals and families in our communities. It’s a role that demands patience, kindness, and a commitment to making a real difference. The Lincolnshire Care Awards shine a well-deserved spotlight on this vital work, bringing recognition to those who might not always get the credit they deserve. For me, photographing this event is a chance to witness the joy, pride, and emotion of the nominees, winners, and their supporters. The energy in the room is infectious, filled with laughter, applause, and even a few happy tears. Being able to document these moments is fantastic.
The heart of the Lincolnshire Care Awards is, of course, the awards ceremony itself. As nominees and winners take to the stage, the room fills with excitement and anticipation. My goal as a photographer is to capture every smile & handshake, preserving these memories for years to come. The awards are a chance for individuals and teams to be recognized for their hard work, and every award presentation is filled with heartfelt stories of dedication and achievement. Whether it’s a long-standing carer being honored for years of service or a team being celebrated for going above and beyond, each story is a reminder of the incredible impact the care sector has on our community. From wide shots of the audience applauding to close-ups of the proud expressions on stage, my focus is on telling the story of the evening through my lens.
One of the highlights of photographing the Lincolnshire Care Awards is setting up our pop-up studio. It’s a space where attendees can step in front of the camera, relax, and let their personalities shine. Whether they come alone, with colleagues, or with family and friends, the studio is always buzzing with excitement.
Dressed in their best and brimming with pride, attendees strike poses, share laughs, and create memories they’ll treasure. What makes the studio even more special is our ability to print photos on the spot. Guests leave not only with memories in their hearts but also with physical keepsakes of the night.
Photographing the Lincolnshire Care Awards is more than just capturing images—it’s about preserving the spirit of the night. It’s about honoring the incredible work of carers, celebrating their successes, and giving them a moment in the spotlight. Every time I photograph this event, I’m reminded of how fortunate I am to do what I do. Being part of a night filled with so much positivity and pride is inspiring, and I leave the event each year with a renewed appreciation for the people who dedicate their lives to caring for others.
As the Lincolnshire Care Awards continue to grow, I look forward to being part of this incredible event in the years to come. Each year brings new faces, new stories, and new memories to capture. It’s an honor to support such a meaningful celebration through photography and to help preserve these moments for everyone involved. If you’re attending the Lincolnshire Care Awards this year, be sure to visit our pop-up studio and take home a photo to remember the evening.
