Story-Driven Documentary and Corporate Video Production
Authentic, story-driven filmmaking for organisations that want to create impact, build awareness, and inspire action.
James was exceptionally easy and professional to work with. From first contact through to the finished products; he is reliable, quick to reply, understands the brief, helpful and offers great guidance. I have utilised him in my capacity as Head of Marketing multiple times and have been extremely impressed each time. Would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a videographer.

Our Reviews
What Our Clients Say
Working with James has been an absolute delight. We collaborated on a documentary celebrating nearly 130 years of Wollongong Golf Club’s history. ‘The Legacy of Wollongong Golf Club’ captures the stories, people and moments that have shaped our club since 1897.
From the very beginning, James demonstrated a deep passion for storytelling and went absolutely above and beyond in the production, delivery and screening of the film. The quality of his work speaks for itself, but what stood out to us was his commitment and dedication throughout the entire process.
We couldn’t be happier with the result and highly recommend James to anyone looking to create something special. THANK YOU JAMES!

It is always a pleasure to work with James. His attention to detail is second to none, and his creative approach means time and time again he delivers the most stunning video footage and photography too. I have presented James with a couple of unusual concert set ups, and his careful and considered approach gave us first class footage, thank you James! If ever there is a chance I can work with James he is my absolute first choice!

James exceeded all expectations with his video work at our show in Sydney. The footage was extremely high quality and managed to capture the energy of our concert. He also edited a short highlights video which has gone viral for us on social media which is awesome. We highly recommend his services.

James photographed our 3 day conference and was great! The event was jam packed from early morning to late night with multiple presentations occurring simultaneously and James managed to photograph every presentations and event seamlessly with minimal disruption. Corporate photography is hard to do and have interesting photos, but James nailed it. We will definitely use him again! Highly recommend.
