Our creative pathways first crossed (many years ago) in Shoreditch, London, when, individually we worked in the worlds of photography, video, PR and event management. Moving north to Harrogate, in 2008, we created our own little company. Over the next 10 years, we told a multitude of commercial and educational stories - through photography, video documentaries and promos, awards films, business events, PR, internal comms, websites and print media.. Much fun was had; we explored the world with global clients, we learned about all kinds of things, and as the internet's demands for video exploded, we concentrated on the visual side of storytelling. In 2019, in order to reintroduce the writing side, but on a more personalised, human level., one of us upskilled and included humanist ceremonies to our offering. The other invested in kit, and introduced drone photography. During Covid, people started asking us to provide photography and filming services at ceremonies.. And so, an entirely new offering was born. A complete storytelling package for commercial, public service and individual clients - one that incorporates pictures, films, and words. In 2024, we moved north again to the heart of the vibrant, creative hub of The Fish Quay, North Shields - a hop and a skip from the city. of Newcastle Upon Tyne. We've developed our collaborations further, to offer more community based visual stories that galvanise pride in place. To celebrate our connection with everything north, we've recently rebranded. 'The Northern Storyboard' enables us to operate like an agency, without the price tag or complicated processes of a large studio. We work as a team of two (more if required). As we pool our talents, skills, kit and experience, we don't have the limitations of one employee or a single discipline operator. With wide-ranging experience in commercial, charity, local authority, civic and personal requirements, we have everything you need to tell any story. The ease of our working relationships comes down to a beautiful blend of senior level delivery with personality, flexibility and total reliability. Want to work with us?
