Portraits at Crendon Timber

by admin on September 17, 2015 in Company News, Recent Projects | Tagged crendon timber, PR Photographer, roof truss

Another regular client of mine Camilla contacted me during August to be her preferred photographer for a new client of hers. This company is Crendon Timber that is situated near Oxford. They are a partner company of Snows Timber who are a larger firm that supply bespoke timber trusses for roofing. If you bought a new house within England now there would be a pretty good chance that the wooden roof material was supplied by Crendon.

The company has appointed a new MD, Alistair, who has only joined recently and getting his feet firmly under the desk and is running the company with a positive approach. Crendon during the summer months have been so busy with orders that they are working shifts and are open seven days a week and working into the evenings as well burning the midnight oil!! What a lovely situation to be in not to be wondering where the next order is coming from.

Alternative Images who has also a web site designed for the London PR markets at Corporatephotography.london held a portrait session for the company that consisted of sixteen head shots of the management team. Then we went out into the stormy conditions for some active portraits of the newly appointed MD Alistair with some of the product they produce. Crendon want to expand their photographic portfolio so I am looking foreword to getting up onto the rooftops and obtaining those desired images for them.

NAHT Aspire at Grand Connaught Rooms July 2015

by admin on September 16, 2015 in Events, Recent Projects | Tagged Connaught Rooms, NAHT, Teachers

It is time to catch up on events that have happened during the summer months at Alternative Images. As the holiday season approached as always companies tend to wind down and place themselves into a sense of ‘tick over mode’ with the thought of people being away on their annual holidays with family and the companies staff being off work for fortnightly periods in turn. So I spent roughly five weeks in between photo assignments re-vamping the kitchen. Who needs a beach!

It does quieten down work wise in my industry as well during the summer months, but I was pleasantly surprised to hear from one of my long standing clients that has been away from the media sector for a while back working with the NAHT (national association of head teachers) and wanting me to cover a networking learning conference for them held early July at the Grand Connaught Rooms, London.

The day was a filled with informative speeches and three sessions of workshops held in various suites at the venue with titles such as ‘Helping teaches see what children see’ and a special presentation from a company that delivers designed software that is used to enhance the experience within the school classroom. What amused me while I was snapping away with one of my favourite lenses was how the presentation to all in the room sounded as if we were all wearing short trousers and eight years old. But we did behave ourselves and no one needed to go to the toilet!

Mars at the Marriott

by admin on June 30, 2015 in Events, Recent Projects | Tagged corporate, Event, mars

At the beginning of June I had been asked to work for an American company who were arranging the strategies for a conference for the world famous business group Mars. This company was BMGZ from New Jersey and had specially flown over a team and members of Mars from the US. The conference was held at the Marriott Hotel Slough for the convenience of the airport and also the location of the UK Mars factory in Slough.

This was a three day event and was held with a fast pace of meetings in the main arena followed by various break out sessions. This was also accompanied by a visit to the Mars factory on two of the days with meetings and teams dressing in the appropriate protective attire to visit the factory production lines. The entire event came to a conclusion with a company dinner held at the hotel where I organised a large group shot of all who attended that the image very quickly found its way into a ‘people’ sequence that was viewed on screen during the evening.

Imperial at Madame Tussauds London

At last I now have some spare time to report on what I have been doing recently in the world of corporate photography in London. It has been a busy time this month and kicked off with a conference for Imperial Tobacco at The Hilton Metropole Hotel London during May that saw a busy schedule for the event that was called the UKI Cluster Conference. Not to sure why it was branded that name but this somehow gives it all a meaning and direction for the participants.

The day started with all the five hundred or so attendees arriving and signing in and a pre conference lunch was held to fuel them all up for an afternoon of packed activity. Speeches from various management personnel were made and to lighten things up a bit a craft team building exercise was laid on for the attendees to show off their creative thinking ideas. This area of conferences does somewhat worry me, that you have the top personnel of a company who are most likely earning large salaries making objects out of play doh, paper and straws. But they seem to enjoy it!

The event took on a more relaxed role for the evening and all five hundred people were transferred by a fleet of historic Route Master London Buses that made their way back and forth to Madame Tussauds for the drinks reception and meal that awaited them after they had a tour of some of the areas of the famous landmark and celebrities inside!
