Show Photography

“What a pleasure it is to deal with Pix by Alex! Firstly the quality and timing of her pics are the best in the industry and never disappoint. To have such a beautiful record of our horses jumping is so special. I’ve been buying pics from Alex for more than three years as we also love her unusual arty action shots during our rounds. If you want simplicity in ordering; quality memories delivered swiftly at an affordable price, then Pix by Alex is the one!!” – Natalie Hime 

“I highly recommend pix by Alex for anyone looking for a talented and professional equestrian photographer. Her eye for detail and ability to capture the perfect moment is incredible. Not only are her photos stunning, but she is also very easy to work with – always responsive, approachable, and making the process of viewing (via what’s app as she will send your pictures to you if you ask her) and purchasing photos easy. When you want to find the picture to remember the round you just jumped, Pix by Alex has the images every time” – Kirsty Muchna

“Grateful to pics by Alex for capturing wonderful memories and such quick service editing and getting them sent” – Charley Crockart

“I have been getting show photographs from Alex for a few years now and she always manages to capture the most beautiful moments. Her eye for detail and timing really make her photos stand out and they are always amazing quality that really capture the essence of the moment. One of my favourite photographs she has taken was when Cupi won the 1.35m championship at Easter Festival in 2021, she managed to capture the exact moment we went through the finish, and it’ll be a memory that I will cherish forever!” – Shari Michaelis

“I’ve been buying show photos from Pix by Alex for years and can honestly say that she consistently takes quality, beautiful photos of me and my horses. The one thing that I would say makes Pix By Alex stand out (besides her talent for taking incredible photos) is the fact that she always has samples up on her website the same day the competition took place AND if you’ve asked for photos, she sends personalised samples with only your photos directly to you! Once you’ve payed for the photos you want, she’s incredibly quick about getting them to you. I love the photos I get from Pix By Alex but also the service she offers. Would highly recommend.” – Zandi Alcock

Her causal demeanour makes her a pleasure to work with” – Carol Nurden 

Photoshoots

“It was a lovely experience having a photoshoot with Alex. She was early and gave the environment an inspection to find a perfect place to take stunning photos. It was just a treat as she has very good ideas and is lovely to do it with. On top of that it was the best photos taken of my horses and I absolutely love the clarity and colours within the photos. I would highly recommend her anyway!” – Christine Kahn

“I cannot recommend Alex highly enough. She came early for our shoot to walk around the property and make sure we got the most beautiful photos with the best lighting, and on top of that she always makes the shoots so comfortable and fun. I got so emotional when Alex sent me the photos of the shoot because she captured me and my horses so beautifully and caught the most special moments. I cannot thank you enough Alex!” – Chaney Austin

“Alex was so accommodating to do a photoshoot on a Sunday afternoon to fit into our busy schedules as Veterinary physiotherapists. She has a natural passion and gift for taking photos and capturing the perfect moment. No photoshop or filters are needed as her pictures are of such quality that natural is the way to go. She has loads of patience (needed when capturing photos of animals), and has many tricks up her sleeve to get the most stunning shots. Would 10/10 recommend her for any kind o shoot from work related right through to auctions shots. She can do it all.” – Chanel from Equine Librium

“People say that a picture speaks a thousand words, but the right picture tells a story that speaks to your heart. I am lost without words of how Alex captured everything I wish I could say, in just a photo. She has talent beyond compare when it somes to photographing our beloved horses and knows exactly how to capture a moment in time. I appreciated the beautiful ideas and the encouragement to set me at ease in front of her lens. I am so grateful for the time spent during this shoot, not only being photographed by a super professional but also by a dear friend” – Dominique de Jager

“Thank you Alex! We absolutely loved your creativity and patience, With the ponies, horses and girls, you’ve managed to capture each pony and horse’s personality, Along With their special riders. You have an amazing eye and create beautiful art. The whole experience from start to finish was pleasant and fun. You arrived at a new venue and was able to take unknown surroundings into stunning pictures. Please come to KZN again next year!” – Carlette Van Eeden

“I have never taken the opportunity to have my horses professionally photographed before and when I decided to seize the opportunity to do so I had a distinct idea in mind, I wanted to capture the true love I have for my horses that cannot be expressed in words. I didn’t have to explain in depth what I was hoping to achieve, Alex just took my hopes to capture that feeling and flew with it. The results were everything I hoped for and more. And despite my nerves to stand in front of the camera, Alex made the whole experience an absolute breeze. I am truly stunned and grateful!” – Jordyne Howells

“Working with Alex was by far the best experience I’ve had with any photographer. She somehow manages to create such magic through her lens and really managed to capture the essence of my bond I share with my horse. She is genuinely the such a talented and sweet photographer whose talent is incredible. I highly recommend doing a shoot with her for memories that last a lifetime” – Lexi Burger

“Alex took the most magnificent pictures of my horses this weekend. I am amazed that she  was able to captures these moments with very tricky environmental challenges (sugar cane fires and tractors) and horses that could be a little noncompliant at times. She was on time, organised and efficient on the day of the photoshoot, and very patient and caring with the horses.  I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to capture a few special moments to hold as memories forever” – Katie Edmonds

“We have just completed our third (and probably most beautiful) photo shoot with Pix By Alex. Being middle of winter with very “fluffy” horses, I had my doubts that it would work out…. But Alex managed to catch the essence of the beautiful relationship that my daughter and I have with these majestic animals. She even managed to capture a few beautiful shots of our smaller Fur-Babies… just magnificent!” – Sara Boyd

“Thank you so much Alex Cromme. What a lovely afternoon we spent with you and what a tremendous tribute to our herd. You have captured them in such a beautiful, loving way. We cannot thank you enough for  celebrating our horses with us and giving us such a gorgeous gift. I have just re re re looked at my photos. They are extraordinarily good. I cannot even find favourites as so many are fantastic. Thank you once again.” – Victoria Wasas

“Dear Alex, Thank you so much for the absolutely gorgeous photographs. My girls and 3 Bits loved the shoot, you made them feel so comfortable in front of the camera and captured such special moments.” – Nicky Kinvig

“I recently had a photoshoot with pix by alex when she was down in durban. It’s my second one with her and I have absolutely no complaints, the photos came out spectacular and there was no feeling of discomfort or anything like that as I know it can be quite awkward infront of a camera. Everything flowed smoothly and I absolutely loved the outcome !!” – Chloe Redman
