Rated 5 stars on Google based on over 100+ reviews
Attentive, professional and brilliant communication.
Working on a campaign to target UG & PG students from North America and Canada to encourage them to study in Manchester. Our campaign creative showcased the gritty and yet contemporary uniqueness of Manchester and so we needed to work with a professional and creative photographer to photograph current US and Canadian students in interesting locations across the City. In reviewing Alex's website, we saw that he had the perfect style and so we partnered with him to do a 4 day shoot with 8 students in some amazing locations - many of which Alex suggested. Alex was a pleasure to work with, he put the students at ease and captured some incredible shots that brought our creative vision to life superbly. He made the pre and post production phases easy and we'd definitely work with him again in the future.
