We pride ourselves on our flexibility and adaptability to take on video production and photographic projects of all kinds, and we wouldn't have it any other way. We could be shooting cupcakes one day and a corporate interview the next.

We work with a variety of brands in different ways, depending on the needs of the client and the project. We aren’t an agency, and we don’t offer a one-size-fits-all solution. We’re about being personalised and tailored. This means we can deliver better results, offer great value for money and build long-standing relationships with our clients.
This year, we continue to produce the monthly recipe videos for Co-op Food and have now reached over 114 recipes and counting! In the past year, we have been privileged to interview inspiring young people as we covered the Telegraph STEM awards, we met the talented chefs who produce amazing food on the Cunard cruise liners, helped viewers get fit by delivering online wellbeing and yoga courses, encouraged food sharing with OLIO and Hellmann’s, we’ve told stories through animation and we’ve unboxed brand new tech. Our video clients have watched 13 days, 16 hours, 18 minutes and 40 seconds of video that we’ve delivered to them, and it’s increasing daily.
By the end of 2019, our photography team delivered a whopping 11,826 images (yes, we counted) and amongst our achievements we provided images for a new CBD product entering the market, we covered numerous exciting events ranging from product launches to awards evenings and influencer evenings, we’ve created engaging visual media for social media platforms for food & drink, beauty and tech companies. We showed people how things work, what to wear, how to use, we’ve allowed consumers to imagine how something tastes, and introduced products to people that can help them look and feel their best.
There’s over 15 years of experience in our small creative team. We love what we do, and you’re in safe hands. Or maybe that should be ‘hand’, as we are more than likely to be holding a camera in the other one!
Come in, take a look around, and see what we can do for you…

Mobile phone brand realme approached us before lockdown to ask us to support them with their new Series 6 smartphone launch. We were just able to complete filming in the studio in March, and edited remotely, which allowed realme to replace their intended livestream with new pre-recorded content and kept the launch on track.
In the midst of the coronavirus, it’s not quite business as usual, but we’ve adapted our operations and are calling it ‘Business As Possible’. We are following the government guidelines and have completed risk assessments in order to become COVID Secure – which means that we can now take on a wider range of photography and video production projects, still being responsible and keeping people safe.
We’re delighted to have produced a second set of recipe photography for food brand Bay’s Kitchen, who we worked with for the first time earlier this year. We delivered a combination of product, in-progress and finished dishes created in the studio with our food stylist. Looking forward to next time!
