What makes me different (aka 'better for you')

Photos & video are tactics to a marketing strategy. They're not independent as a business function and therefore they need to provide you with a return.

Most photo & video people seem to forget this and that's why I'm different. Our journey together starts by understanding your business and marketing objectives. What are you trying to achieve and why. Who are you targeting and what messages do they need see. Only then can we collaborate on a photo or video project which will achieve what you need it to.

Restaurant Brand Photography

Restaurant manager, Kim wanted to rebrand after he took over the family Thai restaurant business. He commissioned a new website and with that needed new photos of his premises, staff and food.

Follow how the story unfolds, see the images and watch a video interview with Kim when it's all done. The food images alone are enough to convince anyone to go for dinner.

Boosting Hotel Room Occupancy & Dinner Reservations

There many, many hotels in Cumbria - but as most are in the Lake District National Park, attracting visitors to stay away from these is sometimes challenging.

Heather Glen Country Hotel had this problem and they came to me to bring their images up to date as well as try to capture the attention of a new, younger audience which they were currently missing out on.

Virtually For You VA

Every part of the service was seamless and professional from my first contact to receiving the end product.

As a very busy person, it was great that Al took away all the stress involved such as helping me chose styles, colours, ideas and even the venue.

The photos are exceptional quality and I've had many people compliment me on them.

Al has been photographing the Celebrating Forces Families Awards for the past three years, and his work is consistently outstanding.

He's a fantastic photographer to collaborate with. He's professional, easy to communicate with, and always willing to work with the event organisers to ensure he gets the perfect shots...

The resulting photos are truly special. They not only document the awards themselves, but also the emotions and connections that make this event so meaningful.
