Brands that trust me
We asked Hendrik to photograph Montego Pet Nutrition’s offices and factories in Graaff-Reinet and in Centurion. His skills in corporate and industrial photography are astounding — his photos are genuine works of art! He went above and beyond to include beautiful abstract imagery and ‘moving’ images that made everything look alive. Recommend 100% and can’t wait to work with him again!
Thank you so much Hendrik-Louis for your stunning vehicle photography, professional service and quick turn around time! We are delighted with your photographs and enjoyed working with you on this project.
We used HLB for 2 recent jobs and both results were world class. The food photography was just next level with styling, lighting and post production. I would recommend HLB to any business out there who needs professional photos of their products or services.
We recently used HLB Photography for some drone footage and a video of a recently constructed industrial plant. Great service, communication and ultimately a great product. I would definitely recommend them.
Hendrik-Louis from HLB Photography is a master behind the camera and a true professional. He arrived and finished on time, was friendly and made the team feel at ease. The portraits are according to specifications, yet encapsulating each individual’s personality. I highly recommend HLB photography for your corporate portraits.
I engaged the services of Hendrik for the grand opening of our Italtile Showroom, and he undoubtedly stood out as one of the most amiable and skilled professionals we’ve had the pleasure of working with. His evident enthusiasm for his craft, coupled with his unwavering commitment, was truly remarkable. The final meticulously edited images proved to be flawless.
I’ve worked in the media industry in JHB and CPT for over 15 years and was concerned I would not find a photographer of the standard I am used to in little old Gqeberha! I have been blown away by the quality of HLB Photography, the professional service received and the high-end product. I would highly recommend for both video and stills.
Hendrik is professional, a great photographer and pleasant to work with. He has an eye for the magic moment and fresh visual perspective. The product was delivered timeously. He comes highly recommended.
Professional. On Time. Great editing. Extremely Happy every time. Thanks for taking great care of us Doei.
