Doing Some Good We've spent years building what we believe is a nice little company. We work with some wonderful clients, we employ genuinely good people, and we produce some fantastic work.…
Video Production & Photography
Pocket Creatives in London is an independent creative production team specialising in video production, photography and digital content creation for food & drink, beauty & cosmetics, health & wellbeing, products & technology, events and crowdfunding campaigns.
What We Do:
We pride ourselves on our adaptability to deliver quality results in video production and photography projects of all kinds - we love the variety that brings and we wouldn't have it any other way. We could be shooting vegan snacks one day and a beauty brand film the next.
That's our superhero power.
This variety and every new challenge keeps us fresh and encourages greater creativity.
Actually, our combined coffee intake is our superpower, but these would be a close second!
Here's a breakdown of what we offer:
Professional video production services, creatively produced in HD, 4K and 6K for great visual quality alongside the excellent service we provide for all our clients
Fast and efficient video editing using the Adobe creative suite of editing, sound and colour grading tools
A scaleable service built on either affordable templates and custom tailored designs, so we can provide a fit for all video production needs
Our music library subscription gives us access to thousands of high quality licenced tracks at a very reasonable price per track, great for value and versatility
Voiceovers are recorded remotely by voice artists in their own professional studios for cost-effectiveness, quality and speed of delivery
Our media partner provides transcripts from video within as little as 24 hours ready for us to add to your final video for subtitled masters
Digital photography captured in 36 megapixels for excellent quality and definition for all outputs from simple packshots to social content and advertising
Photography processing and optimising through Adobe RAW, Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop
Increasingly popular, we’re able to offer moving GIF images as part of both video production and photography bookings for added creative options
We use a worldwide network of talent to help us fulfil any brief, whether you’re looking for a hand model, a face for your brand or an actor to deliver your lines
Professionally completed makeup and hair can make the difference between good and great on projects centred around talent in front of the lens
We use reliable high grade fast storage for the duration of your video production or photography project, with the option for us to store longer term for more extensive projects
All projects benefit from clear planning and goals, which we undertake before any new video production or photography project to make sure that we’re all on-track
We take the time to scope the full photography or video production project at the very start to keep us all on-track
We have our own studio in London, and work with spaces across the UK in addition to offering homes, kitchens, and outdoor spaces that fit your brief
We do all of our own styling for video production and photography projects, and will be able to provide food stylists for projects where cooking and styling are required
We have a stack of portable backgrounds in house, which helps take the edge off your styling budget, and offers plenty of options while we can also source bespoke
We work in an industry where new techniques and equipment become available to help us make your photography or video production project look unique, and a little more ‘you’
We work with a variety of brands in different ways, depending on the needs of the client and the project. We don’t offer a one-size-fits-all solution, we’re about being tailored and personal. This means we can deliver better results, offer great value for money and build long-standing relationships with our clients.

Clients Worked With
Despite the challenges that 2020 threw at us all, we’ve created many positives from it, having moved into our video production and photography studio and expanding our team.
The Pocket team have delivered 98 individual projects for 78 different clients, across food & drink, beauty, technology and crowdfunding.
We’ve helped businesses launch new products and promote established ones, advertised across television and all the usual social media channels.
The huge volume of content that we’ve output has had a great deal of care, love and attention go into them.
In video production this year, we continue to create the monthly food recipe videos for Co-op Food and have now produced over 130 recipes and counting!
In the past year we have have met some wonderful people, told some great stories, and delivered powerful messages. Amongst the headlines: we worked with Frylight to help families cook better at home, got all lathered up with Soap & Glory‘s seasonal releases in stop motion and trod the catwalk with fashion brand Christian Kye. We launched exciting new tech with mobile phone and tech company Realme, and launched new vitamin brand Dermashotz with their new brand film.
Across 2020 our video production clients have watched over a whopping 337 hours of the video content that we’ve delivered to them, and it’s increasing daily as we go into 2021.
By the end of the year, our photography team delivered an enormous 10,041 images (yes, we counted!) and our achievements included our yearly web and social content for beauty stalwart Yardley, new product captures for vibrant skincare brand Urban Veda, colourful jewellery photography for designer Licenced to Charm, and stylised sets for upcoming cocktail creator Tom Savano. We also tempted tastebuds with all manner of culinary delights including recipe photography for Bay’s Kitchen and high-end food photography at the award winning Hot Stone London at their mouthwatering sushi restaurant.
There’s over 16 years of experience in our 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 to support your next video production or photography project…

Latest News:
One of or biggest photography projects so far this year is for smartphone case maker Tech21. We’re currently in post-production on shoot number 2, which covers a range of product and scenario-based photography to support the company’s re-brand and new product launches. This is a great project to be involved in, and you’ll be able to see more as we progress!
It’s been a bustling start to 2021, and we’re working hard to remain as safety conscious as we can while the pandemic still presents it’s challenges. Even so, we managed to successfully create a first product promo image for hygiene brand Fuzzy Rock, delivered in 7 languages for worldwide usage.
Continuing our creative relationship with challenger smartphone brand realme, we were asked to produce a range of imagery for their latest release – the 8Pro. This involved chasing around London, armed with a team of talented models and a little luck on our side for the weather. We delivered a bright and vibrant series of images that show-off this wicked handset in its best light.
Doing Some Good
We like to think that we’re a nice company, but we can all do more. So from May 2021 we’ve teamed up with Ecologi which will enable us to plant trees across the world. For every new project we’ll plant some new trees, so we can all give a little back to the planet 🙂
