Photography

Our photography work covers a wide range of styles, and our gear is made up of equipment suitable for various assignments.

We use 2 Sony camera’s, A99 & A99MkII, both full frame and mostly prime lenses from the Sony CZ & Sigma Art range. We have various speedlights, sliders, portable flash studio lights, backdrops, as well as continuous lights as required for model shoots and video work such as lighting up small stages. We even have a rather nice stool provided for those portrait shoots!

We use a range of backdrops, for example, ballet, official corporate portraits, Christmas themes for schools and even baby cake smash shoots which seems to be becoming increasingly popular now!

We also make use of Drone's on request, are fully insured and registered with the CAA.

Videography

For video work we use Sony *PXW-Z200 and the Z90V that incorporates 4K shooting, are broadcast compatible, internet live streaming, *AI-powered Subject Recognition AF to ensure crisp videos, a range of colour profiles as well as high end audio codecs. 

Sony’s high-end ZEISS and class G fixed lenses offer the best of both worlds in terms of optical perfection and portability.

We film mostly in Sony S-Cinetone and export to Rec709. If high quality audio is required we export as .mov. We can use a number of options to suit your needs for post production or we can do this for you including colour grading.

We also use GoPro’s to complement our video work and place these to add to the overall video experience where a larger camera would be difficult to use.  

Sound / Audio

We use the Zoom F8n Pro mic mixer which has a wide dynamic range and low noise floor. We did in fact get a bit geeky when choosing this mixer. Having a background in electronic engineering, (please see www.g17.co.uk for more information), I really wanted to make sure that during a recording there is enough dynamic range to capture the lows and peaks with no clipping and full frequency range and not compromise detail. I also needed to ensure that each channel was defined, clear and crisp from each other and when there was no audio you hear – no audio, no noise – nothing, so we made the choice of mixer based on its component architecture.

The F8n Pro uses high end A/D AK5388 converters, and AK4359 D/A along with equally high end THAT1583 OP-AMPs, a perfect combination of electronics packaged neatly into a portable device with multiple recording options, easy controls and beautiful LCD panel.

Our microphones are a mixture of high-end RHODE and sE mics, including matched pairs to capture every detail in whatever combination is required for the job, from kick drums to spoken word, low noise and a wide frequency range ensure a perfectly matched setup with the F8n.
