Local photography agency Avant Photographic has launched an ambitious crowdfunder to raise £5000 to purchase new video equipment to further develop its business, which has been growing regionally and nationally.

With only 16 days left, the campaign has raised nearly 50% with £2,245 pledged – nearly there, but the campaign needs that last minute push to make the goal.

And this is the part where you come in.

Pledge today and be rewarded with an array of  photographic services by Avant owner Phil Burrowes, starting from £50 for a new profile portrait and £100 for a family shoot on location and up.

Phil has also thrown in a few learning packages – get to grips with Instagram for £100 or learn how to effectively use social media for £150.

If you’re feeling especially generous and want to take your business marketing to the next level, the top reward is £995 for a Day in the Life photoshoot for businesses, Avant’s most successful model.

We know Avant owner Phil Burrowes very well – he has been our ‘official’ Tech Resort photographer for the past few years. We can vouch that he takes stunning images for businesses, with an eye to helping you ‘tell your story’ and advice on how to up your social media game.

For more information and to pledge, see crowdfunder.co.uk/avant-photographic or the Avant Photographic site.
