Photography, video & animation

Motion and imagery that lift a brand above the ordinary

When a business needs to stand out, nothing beats a great photo, a well-cut video or a bit of animation. I come from TV production, so I can plan the shoot, direct it, edit it and animate over the top — or bring in a bigger studio when the job’s bigger than my desk.

Photos, drone, video, animation — and the contacts for anything larger

Photography & drone

Shoots organised and directed by me, with a close partner who’s a licensed drone pilot — offered at cost, because good photography changes everything else.

Video & editing

Promos, testimonials, product videos, social clips: filmed, edited and finished with graphics.

2D & 3D animation

Explainer videos, animated logos, motion graphics and social animations.

Bigger productions

Fifteen years of industry contacts mean anything beyond the studio can be sourced at a good price.
