Capturing the construction and start of passenger services of the new light rail system through the CBD and South East was the focus of the partnership between Images for Business and ALTRAC Light Rail. The Images for Business team has been instrumental in providing practical advice and solutions to be able to capture construction progress across the project successfully. They’ve also recorded and edited footage of the significant milestones such as the first tram to travel along George Street in nearly 50 years. Their capability has ensured that key milestones are captured and edited into digital-friendly packages in a short timeframe. Their active participation in setting up time-lapse cameras in key project locations has also supported us to record construction as a legacy for the archives as well as for metropolitan media. Images for Business are flexible and understanding when there are unforeseen changes. Their ability to establish positive working relationships with at all levels of the projects has added much value to their capability to meet deadlines and deliver on outcomes.

The B-Line Program is an integrated package of transport service and infrastructure improvements designed to provide more reliable bus journeys between Sydney’s Mona Vale and the Sydney CBD.

Images for Business made the imaging part of the process simple for us by being hands- on during the planning phase and being highly responsive to every need, even at very short notice. The value that Images for Business provide exists in three main areas: the quality and creativity of their images; their excellent and reliable service; and the ease with which we work together.

Gary Schembri

Business Development Director
Winder Controls Australia
Winder Controls is a manufacturer of heavy equipment for the mining industry. When we started working with Images for Business, we had no high-quality images of our equipment, our processes, or how they are deployed in the field.
We decided to create a catalogue of still photographs, time-lapse and video images that could help to elevate our conversations with the world’s largest mining companies from products, to the results that they can expect and the value they add to our client’s businesses. We needed to do things differently from our competitors and create a compelling demonstration in high-stakes boardroom meetings.
Images for Business has worked tirelessly to understand our business and needs and produce results that are a cut above. It’s involved a significant commitment for us. For example, to commission multi-year time videos that demonstrate the installation and operation of the equipment. Throughout, the team has not missed a beat.
The outcome of the images we have has been exposure to new opportunities, the achievement of a world-class market presence and increased sales results.
What we particularly value in the relationship with Images for Business is their professional, straightforward and efficient approach. They are highly responsive to our needs. Most of all, we now have a range of outstanding imaging resources that have added value to our business.

Kadin Morse

Project Manager
Aver
Aver is a specialist Development Management and Project Management consultancy that manages construction and public infrastructure projects. We engaged Images for Business to visually capture the restoration process of nationally listed heritage buildings. They provided timelapse, video, drone and still photography services. The project existed over a large and complex campus with multiple working locations. As the project construction progressed, Images for Business were able to work with the project team to plan a strategy that adapted image capture to the changing demands of the project. Images for Business consistently demonstrated the experience and expertise to advise what would work best and then implemented the recommendations with absolute professionalism. The result was a high-quality archival record of the restoration works. Images for Business has a great team to work with across the board. They are professional, accommodating to any changes, and most importantly deliver an excellent finished product.

It was an absolute pleasure to have Simon come out to one of our sites to take photos and aerial footage. Simon took the brief and just ran with it – he took amazing photos of both our project and our construction team. Simon made our construction team feel at ease and with very little direction really captured the essence of who we are as a company.
