Video, Photography & Podcast Case Studies

the work

A forty-two year old printer still in daily use, and the sustainability story its manufacturer hadn’t thought to tell. Real families explaining what a maternity and neonatal partnership actually does, in their own words rather than the NHS’s. Public health information produced during a pandemic, when getting the tone wrong wasn’t an option. A BBC Sounds documentary revisiting an event witnessed at first hand. Some of these projects were single commissions. Others became working relationships that have run for years.
