Photography in Alfreton, Derbyshire

Alfreton’s got the shops on the High Street, but most of the work round here is out on the estates, with trades and manufacturers in units just off the A38. For them the photos have a practical job: somebody’s checking you out before they give you the work, or before they apply to work for you. So I photograph the yard and the people in it, properly.

Who photographs vehicles and yards for businesses in Alfreton?

North Bear Media does. Norton Hunt, based in Belper about seven miles away, photographs Alfreton firms on site, from units on Castlewood Business Park to shops on the High Street, including the fleet and the people who run it. Regular photography comes inside Found & Filmed at £995 a month, and the £295 Marketing MOT is where most start.

Alfreton’s two places for business, the High Street and the estates.

It sits right on the A38, so as well as the shops and services in the town centre you’ve got manufacturers and B2B firms out on the trading estates, and trades working out of units round there.

For most of them, the photos are there for when somebody’s checking you out. A buyer who’s been given your name, or somebody thinking about coming to work for you, wants to see the yard and the kit behind the work. A stock photo of somebody else’s warehouse tells them nothing. I’ll show them the real thing.

I come to you, whether it’s a unit on Castlewood Business Park or a shop on the High Street, and it starts with a coffee in Alfreton, or a call if that’s easier, so I know exactly what the photos are for.

I’m in Belper, about seven miles away, so if it’s raining on the day we’d planned, we move it to another morning.

If the fleet keeps changing, the photos have to keep up.

For a yard or a workshop, Found & Filmed is the right fit, because there’s always something new to show, a new vehicle or a new starter, and I’m out with you every quarter anyway.

Found & Filmed is me coming out to you for a filming day each quarter and taking the stills while I’m filming. Then it all gets edited and captioned and goes out steadily, and I deal with replies as they come in. There’s a report every month and a call about it. You’ve got a yard to run, so I handle this. It’s £995 a month, rolling monthly with 30 days’ notice either way, so if it’s not working you stop.

If you’ve got more than one site, a second yard say, it’s the same package with £450 a month on top for each extra location.

If it’s one shoot you’re after, the new vehicles once they’ve been liveried for instance, I’ll do that as a project. Tell me what the photos are for and where they’re going, and I’ll give you the price before anything’s booked.

Not sure where to start? Do the MOT first. It’s £295, and part of it is me putting two other firms round Alfreton through the same checks, so you see exactly where you sit next to them.

Richford Motor Services are a vehicle recovery firm based in Alfreton. As well as the recruitment work I do for them, I photograph their fleet, and this is one of their trucks.

How a shoot on a yard usually goes.

This is how it goes, fitted round how busy the yard is that day.

Who they’re for
We work out who’s going to look at the photos, a buyer or somebody who might come and work for you, and I plan the shots round that.
02 //
Round the work
If the vehicles are out first thing, I’ll do the people then and the fleet when it’s back in.

Edited
I edit them and crop them to the sizes you need, and you get the full size files too, for signage and print.

Used
On Found & Filmed they go into your posts over the next few weeks, and a new vehicle or a new starter goes on the list for next quarter.

Common questions about photography in Alfreton.

How much does professional photography cost near Alfreton?

Photography every quarter comes as part of Found & Filmed, at £995 a month, and a second yard is £450 a month on top for each extra site. That’s a lot less than taking someone on, with no training and no cameras to buy. A one-off shoot, the new vehicles say, is priced as a project once I know what it’s for. The Marketing MOT is £295 if you’d like to start there.

What photography services do you offer?

I photograph your people and your place: headshots and team photos, and for most Alfreton firms the vehicles and the yard as well. I do product and brand photography too, whatever the photos need to do.

Can you come to my Alfreton business?

Yes, I come to you. I’m based in Belper, about seven miles from Alfreton, and I’ll photograph you wherever you work, on the High Street or out on Castlewood Business Park.

How many photos will I receive?

That’s set by the shoot and what the photos are for, and we agree it when the shoot’s planned. Every photo you get is edited and retouched and comes in high resolution.

Do I get the rights to use the photos?

Yes. Full commercial usage rights come with every shoot, so the photos can go on signage or a recruitment advert just as easily as on your website and social media.
