Alex has an incredible good eye for proportion and for architecture. He is a master of finding the right light and angle to capture the beauty of our interior design project in a photo.

Always professional, courteous, and responsive to our needs and requests, I’ve relied on Alex time and again for getting beautiful images to press, even around very tight deadlines. I would highly recommend Alex and team to any business looking for exceptional photography services. Working with Alex Jeffries Photography has been one of the best decisions we ever made!”

Very professional, great communication, and I always trusted him along the way, even if we were on the other side of the globe. He was able to capture the shots we were looking for, and also provide some extras – all stellar work!”
Peter Ladd
Creative Director and Co-founder at Pendo

“I had heard about Alex through a couple of colleagues who have worked with him for their brands but didn’t really know what an amazing person he is both personally and professionally until I had the privilege of working with him. Highly skilled and equipped with delivering more than what one could expect.

We had difficult challenges with our pre-opening property and very high expectations from the owning company. Alex helped us achieve the desired results in showcasing the product with all its USPs in the given timeframe.

I’m honoured to have worked with him and I will continue working with him on all my future projects.”
Zeeshan Khan
Marketing manager, Radisson Hotels

“Alex is by far one of the most talented & professional photographers I’ve worked with in the past few years. I recently worked with him on a corporate shoot for my company (30 people) and the process from start to finish was seamless – from location scouting to post-production and retouching. He and his team were a true pleasure to work with and the end results nothing less than pristine! Will definitely be my first choice for any future shoots.”
Jasmine AlDameary
Communications Manager, Careem

“I worked with Alex for my headshots for my website and other marketing materials. The whole process was uber professional and smooth. I’m not someone who enjoys the limelight and I was a little concerned I would not only be but look uncomfortable in the photos. However, Alex was able to make me feel comfortable very quickly and knew how to direct me in terms of where and how to stand etc. The quality of the photos was great and I was happy with both the process and the results. I would recommend Alex for any photography needs!”
Zeta Yarwood
Certified Executive Coach

“Alex is simply one of the best photographers that I have ever worked with, his creativity and talent can’t be described in words, every picture he took of our resorts was a masterpiece, Alex enriched our images library and nobody ever in the market could’ve taken better pictures.

Alex is a professional photographer with an amazing attitude and will deliver the best content any organisation can dream of and he is definitely the best choice for anybody to work with and be around. I can’t recommend him more, any brand would benefit immensely from working with Alex.”
Mohanad Thabet
Marketing Manager, Address Hotels + resorts

“I had the pleasure of working with Alex on several projects, for a number of years. What started as a one-off arrangement for food photography grew into a key relationship where Alex would become our preferred option for photography across the board.

As most photographers of this level he is highly proficient technically, but over and above that I could always trust Alex to deliver: to get the shot, despite whatever challenges we had to work around. Furthermore he gives good advice, and perhaps more importantly, tells it straight when he needs to. We quickly established mutual trust and respect, and consequently we were able to deliver good work consistently.

It also helps that he and his team are so incredibly easy to work with – just makes the work that much more enjoyable.”
Oystein Dahle
Marketing Manager, Habtoor Hotels

“To put it simple – Alex is a magician! His talent, vision, precision and the perfection of every detail of his work are absolutely incredible. Every single image he took for our hotel (Address Beach Resort) exceeded our expectations, every shot was a masterpiece and I am beyond grateful for the extraordinary effort Alex and his team put into this massive project.

I truly believe, that the photography made a whole lot of difference for our brand new property. No matter where we sent the images – be it our guests, media, partners or agencies – everyone was stunned and immediately asked us “who took those shots? are those real photos?”.

I won’t exaggerate if I say that Alex became part of our hotel’s team during the shoots. His professional and perceptive attitude was something that really stood out for me personally, especially during the busy days. I knew that if Alex is on site, the outcome will be perfect and I won’t need to supervise him or look over his shoulder. I had a peace of mind and did not need to worry about the results for a moment. Alex was working closely with everyone at the hotel, he over-delivered every single time, himself & his team supported us when we needed urgent changes, they were extremely flexible, they cared as much as we did, they were quick and efficient and the list goes on.

All in all, Alex is a delightful person to work with and be around. He’d always be our first choice when we need the highest quality of content. I can’t recommend him more, any venue would benefit immensely from working with Alex.”
Elena Raznova
Head of Marketing, Emaar Hospitality Group

From the attention to detail that goes into everything; to Alex’s willingness to go the extra mile for that perfect shot (getting soaking wet turning on a shower comes to mind). Interior, exterior and food shots are always of the highest quality and I look forward to working with him every time. ”

He is excellent from the planning stage all the way through to the photo delivery and will go to great lengths to ensure he gets the best possible shot. He managed to put together a makeshift scaffolding to get the elevation required for an architectural shot…So resourceful! What I appreciated most about working with Alex though, is how composed, calm and positive he stays throughout the shoot day no matter what pressures arise. This is one of the main reasons I’d always be confident that a shoot with Alex would be successful.”

3. Collection of general data and information

The website of the Alex Jeffries Photography Group collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, the Alex Jeffries Photography Group does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the Alex Jeffries Photography Group analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

4. Registration on our website

The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the controller with the indication of personal data. Which personal data are transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller, and for his own purposes. The controller may request transfer to one or more processors (e.g. a parcel service) that also uses personal data for an internal purpose which is attributable to the controller.

By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address—assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject—date, and time of the registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services, and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed offenses. Insofar, the storage of this data is necessary to secure the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to pass on the data, or if the transfer serves the aim of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary indication of personal data, is intended to enable the controller to offer the data subject contents or services that may only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the matter in question. Registered persons are free to change the personal data specified during the registration at any time, or to have them completely deleted from the data stock of the controller.

The data controller shall, at any time, provide information upon request to each data subject as to what personal data are stored about the data subject. In addition, the data controller shall correct or erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no statutory storage obligations. The entirety of the controller’s employees are available to the data subject in this respect as contact persons.

5. Subscription to our newsletters

On the website of the Alex Jeffries Photography Group, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise’s newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted, as well as when the newsletter is ordered from the controller.

The Alex Jeffries Photography Group informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The enterprise’s newsletter may only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter shipping. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject is authorized to receive the newsletter.

During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of the registration, as well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later date, and it therefore serves the aim of the legal protection of the controller.

The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, as long as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in question, as this could be the case in the event of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in technical circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal data collected by the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given for shipping the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revocation of consent, a corresponding link is found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller, or to communicate this to the controller in a different way.

6. Newsletter-Tracking

The newsletter of the Alex Jeffries Photography Group contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the Alex Jeffries Photography Group may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by data subjects.

Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analyzed by the controller in order to optimize the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. These personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent issued by means of the double-opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. The Alex Jeffries Photography Group automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

7. Contact possibility via the website

The website of the Alex Jeffries Photography Group contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

8. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by the Alex Jeffries Photography Group for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest. In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of the Alex Jeffries Photography Group. In addition, the data subject is free in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to use his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as the decision (1) is not is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is not authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject’s explicit consent. If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, the Alex Jeffries Photography Group shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision. If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the Alex Jeffries Photography Group.
i) Right to withdraw data protection consent Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw his or her consent to processing of his or her personal data at any time. If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw the consent, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the Alex Jeffries Photography Group.

10. Data protection for applications and the application procedures

The data controller shall collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of the processing of the application procedure. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is the case, in particular, if an applicant submits corresponding application documents by e-mail or by means of a web form on the website to the controller. If the data controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the submitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant by the controller, the application documents shall be automatically erased two months after notification of the refusal decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller are opposed to the erasure. Other legitimate interest in this relation is, e.g. a burden of proof in a procedure under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

11. Legal basis for the processing

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

12. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

13. Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

14. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data

We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.

15. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
