ads can't buy.

"He has an incredible eye for detail and a talent for making people feel comfortable on camera, which resulted in the most authentic and engaging content we've ever had."

"The testimonial video earned us extra clients who paid his fee over and over! Louis helped us out with very little notice and without his guidance, we'd have been lost."

About Louis

It starts with
the why.

Most businesses invest in video and get content that sits on a hard drive. The difference is knowing what the video needs to achieve before the camera ever rolls — and building everything around that goal is the place I start from.

The 'why' of filming, photography and of making videos is what I am interested in. Meeting new people and learning about their stories. Every photo and video I create is a true reflection of the moment, capturing the genuine emotions and stories of my clients.

With 20 years of experience, both local and international, producing testimonials, brand films, social content and podcasts, I've helped NZ businesses create video that fills rooms, generates enquiries, and builds the kind of trust that advertising can't buy.
