John Stephens Photography & Video

I'd aim to get inside their mindset to understand their objectives, goals and targets. Then I could advise, co-ordinate and plan a strategy that will best suited to succeed.

Meeting new people and delivering results that return such heartfelt appreciated has been deeply rewarding. You might be surprised to read, but our specialised funeral service has been unbelievably rewarding through the pandemic. We've always provided a funeral service, now, having provided nothing but our dedicated funeral video and live-streaming service for the past year through these very difficult days, it's meant so much more and the appreciation received during and afterwards has been a wonderful experience.

Everyone in my family line have been in business, mostly manufacturing, from the White Star Line that went on to build the Titanic and Britannic, to practical implements such as the famous Thor hammer, to the infamous Stephens fishing rod holdall which I remember all fisherman in the '80's regarded as the undisputed king of holdalls. After years of developing a hobby in photography, from 16 years of age, college photography courses , qualifications and training in the photographic industry I worked for a self-employed photographer for a further 4 years. After that, working around the world to begin, I've always been my own boss providing video and photography services.

Without prejudice I should allow our clients to decide for themselves. But as I have to say more than 50 characters..! Hard work, dedication, experience, passion and compassion all go a long way to provide you with a reliable service.

Live-streaming provided with our funeral video service has been highly successful and popular for our clients. Our dedication to funerals the past year means we've used a variety of platforms, YouTube, Zoom, Facebook from different devices, phones and cameras. New updated cameras with our know-how means we can live stream from almost anywhere, no need for internet WiFi, just the weakest of phone signals, and we've got comms' in. This practice and technology can be deployed with commercial work, conferences, press and many other genres where instant broadcasting of video to the www or server is beneficial.

Reference to the above, limits on numbers attending an event according to government policy means live-streaming has enabled thousands to watch and feel part of the service whilst safely staying at home watching through their computer, device or phone. Face to face meetings have not been necessary, more planning, online research, phone calls, then the physical activity wearing a mask has worked very well. Further more, I've had double vaccinations, congratulations to my local MP Nadhim Zahawi for overseeing an excellent inoculation program meaning that when you read this all consenting adults may have been vaccinated too.
