The Brief

The Edinburgh Photographic Society (EPS) regularly hosts guest speakers and presentations in their main exhibition hall, welcoming visitors to showcase photography and promote the Society’s work. However, unreliable AV equipment made this challenging. Presenters struggled to connect devices, share content and manage audio, resulting in time lost to troubleshooting and a less professional experience. In addition, EPS renovated a smaller room, adding a multi-media gallery space. In this space, EPS required a large digital display with the capability to reproduce colours accurately for photographic competition that could double as a video conference call display. The Society asked Fluid AV to modernise the space and deliver a reliable, easy-to-use presentation solution.

The Solution

Fluid AV delivered the project in two phases during 2025. Phase one upgraded the core AV infrastructure, including new speakers, microphones, modern connectivity and a wireless presentation system to simplify content sharing in their main hall. Phase two introduced a new commercial-grade display in their newly renovated gallery, specifically selected for accurate colour reproduction, essential for photographic presentations. Together, these upgrades created a dependable, high-quality presentation environment.

The Impact

The new systems have transformed how the spaces are used. Their new multi-media gallery has featured exhibitions combining physical print and digitally projected photographic art on their new display for public viewings. In addition, the large display is being used for meetings, video calls and review of photographic work on a weekly basis. Presentations in the main hall now run smoothly, with clear audio, effortless content sharing and accurate visual reproduction. Visiting speakers can focus on delivery rather than technology, while audiences enjoy a more professional and engaging experience. The presentation space now fully reflects the quality and reputation of the Edinburgh Photographic Society.

“Fluid AV delivered exactly what we needed. The upgraded system has made our events easier to run and far more enjoyable for both speakers and members. It’s a clear improvement on what we had before and has added real value to the Society.” Samuel Fraser, Membership Secretary, Edinburgh Photographic Society.
