how long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Photography
Straight up, we love taking pictures! In the early days of our business, that’s all we did. We spent a lot of time shooting cool projects for businesses of all shapes and sizes – you name it. Because of this, we have years of experience creating some of the best imagery for businesses that, frankly, money can buy.
We’ll capture your culture, your environment and we’ll make sure we help you present the best possible view to the world. Honestly, we are SUPER passionate about this.
I like it, tell me a bit more…
We offer a few bespoke content creation packages to suit businesses of any size. Of course, what a business needs is wholly dependent on the needs of that business. You don’t have to book in for the next decade. If it’s just a one-off campaign, no bother. You could, for example, just need us for one creative job, and we’re good with that. Or if you ultimately decide to continue working with us we will essentially become part of your team for however long you need us to be.
Our photography offering is built to make a splash. We want to capture your businesses in a way that will engage, attract, and most importantly, differentiate you from the rest of the pack. Once we agree on the time and the location of the shoot, there will be very little for you to do. We will get our heads together and drive ideas out from whatever hypothetical rocks they are hiding under.
Again, we appreciate just how important it is that we deliver something unique to your business. So we’ll be providing you with enough adaptable content to eliminate the need to scroll endlessly through unauthentic stock imagery or outdated photos that no longer reflect your brand’s identity.
God, how we hate stock imagery…
