Services / Photography & Video

You’ve built something incredible. Let’s make sure the world sees it.

Real imagery is one of the most powerful conversion levers a brand has. The brief, the shot list, the on-location coordination, the post-production and the integration into your site are all IT Design. The camera, the lighting and the eye behind every shoot are our seven-year photography partner, HLB Photography. One brief, one standard, one project — across South Africa and internationally when the work demands it.

Our photography partner

Doei is part of the team.

Hendrik-Louis “Doei” Boshoff · HLB Photography · Port Elizabeth

For seven years, every photo and every frame of video IT Design has delivered for a client has come through one studio: HLB Photography. Doei is the only vetted third-party vendor we work with, and the reason is simple — he holds the same professional standard and the same work ethic we do, on every shoot, every brief, every deadline. We trust him 100% and treat him as part of the team. Most clients can’t tell where IT Design ends and HLB begins, and that is by design.

Formally trained at Nelson Mandela University, Doei specialises in commercial, product, industrial, automotive, architectural, food and corporate work — plus brand and promo video. He has shot on factory floors and mining sites, in dealership showrooms, on restaurant pass lines and on multi-day industrial assignments as far afield as Tema, Ghana. The work speaks for itself, and so do his clients.

Client results

What clients say after the shoot wraps.

A 10-day shoot in Ghana — heavy machinery, our engineers, ports, factories and offices. The quality, creativity and consistency across every image were outstanding. Genuinely impressed.

Hendrik went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the end product. Would recommend HLB Photography in a heartbeat.

FAQ

What clients ask first.

  • Hendrik-Louis Boshoff — known to everyone as Doei — and his studio, HLB Photography. HLB is our seven-year photography and video partner and our only vetted third-party vendor of any kind. The reason for that is simple: Doei holds the same professional standard and the same work ethic we do, on every shoot, every brief, every deadline. We treat him as part of the team, and clients consistently can’t tell where IT Design ends and HLB begins. The brief, the shot list, the on-site coordination, the post-production review and the integration into your site are all IT Design. The camera, the lighting and the eye are Doei. The result is one project, one standard, one bill of work.

  • Yes. HLB shoots on-location across South Africa — Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, anywhere in the country where the brand lives — and internationally where the brief calls for it (Doei has shot multi-day industrial work as far afield as Ghana and Tema). Factory floors, restaurants, project sites, offices, dealerships, outdoor venues — wherever the work happens.

  • Yes — and it usually should be. A coordinated website build plus brand shoot delivers a stronger end product than either done in isolation. We plan the shot list around the page structure, so every hero, every product card and every social asset is captured to spec the first time.

  • Every shoot is unique. Once the brief is locked, we agree the shoot date and the post-production timeline with you in writing, and we stick to it. You always know what is coming and when.

  • That is the point. The deliverables come web-optimised with proper file naming, alt-text inputs and the right dimensions for hero, product, social and ad placements. Real imagery captured on-location consistently outperforms stock — both in conversion rate and in how AI search engines read the entity behind your brand.
