Capturing the Trades de France Pre-Season Mixer & Charity Event

I recently had the opportunity to photograph the Trades de France pre-season mixer and happy hour at Swans Pub, here in Victoria. It turned out to be one of those events that really sticks with you.

More than just a seasonal kickoff, this was a charity-focused gathering that brought together people from across the trades community in a relaxed, welcoming setting. There was a strong sense of connection in the room, with conversations flowing easily and a shared purpose behind it all.

From a photography perspective, these are the kinds of events that are especially rewarding to capture. Genuine interactions, candid moments, and a positive atmosphere always translate into images that feel authentic and meaningful. Whether it was small groups catching up or new connections being made, there was no shortage of moments worth documenting.

Events like this highlight how important community is within the trades industry. It’s not just about work…it’s about supporting each other and giving back, which made this charity event stand out even more.

A big thank you to Tiffany and Anna from Heron Media for the invitation.
