navyblur.

In just over a year since launching their maiden venture, navyblur. founders Xander Neal and Christine Boyd have travelled the length and breadth of the UK on commercial, event and wedding photography bookings. To bolster the latter arm of the business, the two photographers have created the navyblur. booth: like a photo booth but larger, with a white background and a box of props to help people get creative. The website is a great sales tool, showcasing the pair's work without endless rhetoric and sales speak. The fresh and dynamic portfolio speaks for itself, with Neal and Boyd peeking cheekily from the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. These young entrepreneurs have grown their business organically since 2009, borrowing kit, renting lenses, begging web design skills from Neal's brother. The strategy has paid off with no debt, and turnover set to double this year.

  • Dynamic young entrepreneurs turning their passion into a thriving start-up
  • 'Got legs, will travel' attitude has seen navyblur. take booking across the UK
  • Navyblur. booth adds an new dimension to staid event photography
