  • Manchester Pride 2016 - Parade
    Manchester Pride 2016 - ParadeOn 27th August, Manchester celebrated it's Gay Pride festival (Manchester Pride) with it's annual parade through the city. Companies and organisations from all over the country, as well as charities and families, came together to celebrate Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender culture. I was invited by Lancaster-based security firm FGH Security Ltd to film their security staff for the event and decided to put this separate video together. It was shared by the Manchester Pride team on Facebook a few days later. I have been invited back this year to film the entire festival.

  • Lancaster City Gymnastics: Good Things Take Time
    Lancaster City Gymnastics: Good Things Take TimeWe worked with Lancaster Gymnastics to promote their business and produce a video that would show that success in the sport takes time, practice and patience. The aim was to follow the journey of a child and their development through sport. With this aim, we developed the idea by using 3 young actors to play the part of the child’s journey, which give an inspiring, emotional tone to the video. What we delivered: 1x 1.5-minute promotional video
  • Kendal Calling Festival
    Kendal Calling FestivalOver the weekend of the 26th-29th July 2018, we were at the award-winning Kendal Calling festival shooting the event for the organisers. Aims and objectives: The theme was 'Into the Future', with sections of the festival decorated to depict a dystopian future in which all non-conformist, unsponsored music, art and creativity had been outlawed.

  • Fraser House: Lancaster's New Digital Hub
    Fraser House: Lancaster's New Digital HubLancaster saw the start of a new coworking space in the first quarter of 2021 when Fraser House burst into the scene.

  • Two Brooks: All About the Natural
    Two Brooks: All About the NaturalTwo Brooks is a premium, London-based hard seltzer company. Recently named the best hard seltzer by The Telegraph, the company has built a strong and loyal customer base in its short history. Using their slogan 'Keep it Natural', we created a piece over-exaggerating the extent to which the company follows its founding principles. Shot in one day on location in Bentham, North Yorkshire, we set up an outdoor office and placed in "naked" actors to play the company employees.

Work history
    Founder / Executive
    Lancaster, United KingdomFreelance
    Privacy is increasingly becoming one of the most controversial and difficult topics of conversation in our digital world. The advent of social media and the ever-expanding powers of government surveillance have led privacy to be side-lined in exchange for "greater" security and safety. YB was founded to create a wider conversation with Privacy advocates, academics and the general public. The movement aims to bring everyone together in one community to fight for our right to Privacy.
    Videographer
    Lancaster, United KingdomFreelance
    I have worked with a number of businesses and brands looking for promotional content to help advertise their companies and/or events. This content has been used and published across various social media platforms and are incredibly important in creating/maintaining positive and meaningful audience engagement with users. The content that is created is done so through extended communication with clients and careful attention to detail. Briefs and ideas are discussed thoroughly before shoots, establishing a clear understanding between the client and myself, ultimately leading to a successful end product. All content is delivered to the highest standard and quality is always guaranteed. Clients often return to me when new content is required.
