"He took the time to visit the site before the shoot to assess lighting, set up and style. He took a detailed brief of what we were trying to achieve and delivered on all aspects - people, venue, food, chefs in action.
More importantly, he captured the essence of the brand in every picture. And I loved the way he delivered the finished images, in easy to segment folders so they could be accessed easily. Highly recommend Alan Harbord"
Case Study
Food processing machine for for Bühler
Project Description
Bühler's new product the Sortex H has been developed using the best of Swiss and British engineering and is born through extensive experience in optical sorting for the food industry.
Bühler first contacted Zoom Films for the video production, who in turn recommended me for the stills work. Due to logistics, the video shoot and stills shoot had to be shot on the same day, so it benefitted all that we have worked with Zoom Films before and that we work very well together.
The images are for the new brochure, website and other sales material.
I was pleased that on completion of the work, the project manager has placed me on Bühler's standard supplier's list.
Estimated cost for similar shoot - £1450

"Alan is the consummate professional and a hugely talented photographer.
Prior to having our photo shoot done, he really took the time to understand our brand and also what we wanted to achieve from the photographs"
"Using Alan was a simple choice, his experience and professionalism are obvious to see, but I needed to know that he would A) be the right person for our client and B) be able to remain calm and flexible under the pressures of limited time and high expectation.
Alan was exemplary, he was patient with us and totally unflustered by the restrictions. He was attentive to the client’s needs and photographed separate components in a make-shift space provided within the film studio while we filmed the video in the main area"
