Over the past few years, I’ve worked with a range of mid- to high-end restaurant brands and more than 20 sponsored partners, helping bring their identities to life through video. As a solo videographer and editor, I craft visual stories that capture each brand’s unique mood, style, and personality.
Film, light & edit for Harry’s :
FILM : High energy handheld camera movements, giving a home movie feel. Using long exposure, not only for transitions, but to help the visuals feel more retro and less digitally sharp and modern. Directing models to keep their excitement high and interactions between each other constant, with lots of smiles and feeling of enjoyment.
LIGHT : A warm tungsten evening look, giving that cosy home feeling. A very natural lighting tone, which you shouldn’t even be able tell that lighting has been used. So definitely nothing over the top stylistic.
EDIT : Fast paced editing to give it that high energy feel. Warm tones and added noise to the image, giving it a grainy vintage video look. Adding 50s/60s Italian music to help bring the very classic Italian lifestyle to the brand.
LIFESTYLE
Lifestyle is all about models having fun, eating, drinking and high energy interaction between each other.

FOOD PRESENTATION
At the end of the day, showing off the craft of their food is essential for restaurant brands. It’s amazing to work with chefs who are as passionate as you are to make everything look perfect.

EVENTS
There’s lots to cover at events, as you need to capture the whole guest experience from start to finish. Location, entertainment, service, food, drinks, guests, atmosphere; you have to be ready to film at short notice or the moment has gone forever.

SPECIAL OCCASTIONS
An important time in most people’s lives and a great honour for brands when their guests choose to experience their special moments at their restaurants.

It’s a big responsibility, but also very rewarding as a videographer, to be trusted to use your skills and knowledge to help form the look and feel of a brand.

STUNTS
Impressing people in real life, not only on social posts, are where stunts can really help create hype and awareness for a brand.

LOCATION
Showcasing the restaurants interiors and exteriors, really helps guests to understand the visuals and aesthetics they will experience while dining. It is our job to take them on a journey, using the camera lens as if it were the guests perspective.
