BRAND Storytelling

Drives Business Success

Science has found

our brains are hardwired

to respond to stories.

We remember

95% of a message

through video

 – but only a tiny 10%

when it’s just words alone.

Stories connect with us on an emotional level. They’re how we make sense of the world — and how we remember what matters. They play a vital role in consumer behaviour, influencing not just buying decisions but long-term brand loyalty.

When was the last time a film moved you to tears, or a book left a lasting impression? It was the story that connected with you on an emotional level — because it made you feel something, not just think.

Powerful photography and video can supercharge your marketing and help your business grow.

Behind every great brand are many stories waiting to be told.

As a photographer and filmmaker creating brand stories, I help businesses and charities — especially those driving positive social, environmental, and cultural change — bring their message to life…

With the right imagery, your brand’s story isn’t just seen — it’s felt. It sticks. It resonates. It moves hearts and minds, and it builds trust and loyalty — ensuring your audience doesn’t just notice your brand, but become loyal followers.

Elevate Your Brand

I create cinematic photos and videos — visuals that tell your brand’s story with purpose and impact.

To stand out in a crowded market, visuals need more than just aesthetic appeal. They need to be backed by a data-driven strategy that includes:

STRONG BRANDING — A clear identity, consistent tone, and recognisable values that form the foundation of every effective visual.

STORY-DRIVEN MARKETING — Emotionally engaging narratives that connect with your audience and reflect your brand’s mission.

SKILLED COPYWRITING — Powerful, purposeful, and sometimes playful words that bring your message to life, engage your audience, and inspire action.

When these elements come together, your visual content:

• Inspires trust

• Builds lasting connections

• Drives meaningful growth

With over 30 years of experience — and a Postgraduate Diploma in Photojournalism from the University of the Arts London — I help bring brands to life through compelling, story-led photography and film.

I’m Rob — photographer and filmmaker creating brand stories that inspire positive social, environmental, and cultural change.

Photography

Pictures with impact

In a world full of noise, forgettable images fade fast. But great photography? It lasts. It tells a story, stirs emotion, and builds real connections.

I don’t just take pictures. I create visual narratives — crafted to make people stop, feel, and remember. Every image reveals your brand’s spirit, not just its face.

This isn’t about capturing moments. It’s about telling stories that connect, inspire, and drive action — helping your brand grow.

Because when people connect with your story, they connect with you.

Video–Motion pictures

that connect people,

inspire change, and bring brand stories to life.

Some stories are felt before they’re understood.

Great storytelling isn’t just about what we see — it’s about what we feel. It’s about finding light in the darkness, purpose in the journey, and strength in the struggle.

Video is the most powerful way to tell that story. Combining motion pictures, sound, and emotion, it captivates audiences, builds trust, and inspires action.

Your story has the power to connect, move, and transform your audience.

Let’s bring it to life.
