We’re a pair of experienced, motivated creatives who joined forces ‘officially’ in 2014 after two years collaborating as independent freelancers. With contrasting yet complementary skill sets, we make a great team.
We’re passionate about using images to tell stories. We’ve carved out a niche in a crowded marketplace by prizing quality, authenticity and originality. By ensuring people are relaxed in front of the camera (regardless of their previous experience), our work always feels genuine.
By taking the time to understand every client’s specific needs, we’re able to tailor bespoke packages that guarantee successful, timely and cost effective results. Far more than just ‘guys with cameras’, we proactively shape projects from start to finish. We provide total clarity and transparency every step of the way.
Our clients love what we do. By building lasting relationships, we become their ‘go-to guys’ for video and photography. Our job is done only when they’re delighted.
Whether showcasing a project, promoting a cause or selling a product, well crafted video has the power to engage an audience like no other medium. We specialise in branded documentaries – compelling, authentic pieces of online communication which capture the real essence of people, places and ideas. By employing the techniques of documentary filmmaking (e.g. interviews, real world situations) we can convey your message in a way that will connect you directly to your audience.
We’re flexible, so we can also deliver other types of video content – we’ve created everything from TV ads to educational resources to narrative cinema and podcasts. Check out our video portfolio to see the full range of our work. We’ll listen to your needs, come up with original concepts, manage the whole process and deliver work which exceeds your expectations – just ask our clients.
Great photography is about more than just technical skill; it requires the ability to get to the very heart of a story or message. By building a genuine connection with the subject, we capture authentic images which help brands stand out from the crowd. Check out our photography portfolio to see selected examples of our work.
We’re comfortable working to a style you specify, or equally happy to come up with something entirely fresh. We’re keen to listen, understand your goals and deliver results beyond your expectations. Not only will you receive photos you’re proud to display online or in print, you’ll enjoy the experience too. Whether it’s food, fashion headshots or landscapes, we believe in providing the personal touch, making the shoot fun and going the extra mile – nothing goes in the ‘too hard’ basket!
Denis is firmly established as one of Adelaide’s most renowned photographers. After 20 years in high end corporate sales, he changed his life with the internationally acclaimed ‘Ball of Light’ project. This set him on the path to becoming a full time freelance photographer and video producer.
Countless portraits, product shoots and magazine covers later, Denis still approaches each creative challenge with sensitivity, originality and enthusiasm.
