Trusted Red Nose Day Photographer – 13+ Years Covering Comic Relief Campaigns
UNP has proudly documented Comic Relief campaigns as a specialist photography partner for over 13 years. From live celebrity events to corporate workplace fundraising, we deliver press-ready photography across the UK. Since 2011, United National Photographers has worked as a trusted Red Nose Day photographer for Comic Relief events, partner campaigns and charity fundraising across the UK.
Red Nose Day 2026 takes place on Friday 20 March 2026. United National Photographers continues to support PR agencies, brands and charities with nationwide photography coverage for Comic Relief campaigns and fundraising events.
Comic Relief is a UK charity best known for its Red Nose Day fundraising campaign, which brings together celebrities, companies and communities across Britain to raise money tackling poverty and social inequality in the UK and internationally.
Managed through our central Picture Desk, this work supports our core PR photographer, press photographer, and event photographer services.
Selected Comic Relief & Red Nose Day Photography
Comic Relief Photographer Coverage Across the UK
Comic Relief and Red Nose Day create a rare kind of photographic brief. The work must feel warm and immediate, yet still meet the rigorous standards expected by editorial, PR, and corporate communications teams.
Because a single assignment may move quickly from internal communications to public-facing coverage, every image needs to stand up across web releases and regional news. That requires the instincts of a press photographer and the polish of a PR photographer.
A Managed National Network
Campaigns of this scale cannot rely on chance availability. They require a central team able to brief once and deliver consistently across different cities and venues. UNP manages this through our central Picture Desk.
Whether the brief calls for a photographer in London, a photographer in Manchester, or a photographer in Birmingham, the workflow remains joined-up and delivered to publication standard.
Documented Coverage Since 2011
While UNP has been delivering national coverage since 1997, our relationship with Comic Relief is a major part of that history. Our internal archive documents repeat commissions for Red Nose Day going back to 2011.
Our archive includes coverage in Glasgow, Cardiff, and London. These assignments show not a one-off job, but a long-running working relationship built through reliability and trust across UK cities.
Editorial Publication & Reach
Red Nose Day photography regularly appears in wider campaign storytelling and regional media, helping explain how national partners support the charity in practical ways.
For example, partner activity has appeared in corporate newsrooms like Sainsbury’s (Holborn head office) and local press reporting. This is exactly why a dedicated event photographer must ensure imagery is credible and highly usable.
