Project Description

National Express were looking for a range of photographs to update their library of images for use on websites, social media and marketing. Instead of trying to get all the locations done in one day, the shoot was split over two days, one in Essex, near Stansted Airport, the other in Central London.

A second vehicle was used in Essex to get some tracking shots of the coach, while the London day started later so that daylight and evening scenes could be captured. The images were retouched and delivered via a transfer site ten days after the shoot. They can now be seen on all the National Express social media accounts and websites.
