Decoy Media

We had a fantastic experience working with Decoy Media for our International Women’s Day photography. From start to finish, they were incredibly professional, organised, and easy to work with. They made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and really captured the spirit of the day. The final images were high quality and delivered quickly - couldn’t recommend them more! More...

Alex and the team at Decoy provided photography and video work for our group annual conference in 2025 and we could not have been happier with the results. The pictures were wonderful, capturing the scale of the event but also some personable, candid moments too. The video footage provided such a great insight into the energy of the event and allowed us to create a wealth of marketing collateral and social assets too. On the day itself, the team were professional, efficient, and just good fun to be around. I would highly recommend Decoy media to anyone looking for video or photography of an event like this.

Decoy Media are the only media team we trust with our annual events. Alex and his team joined us again at Man@Manchester this year, capturing stills, video, and interviews throughout a six-hour event with 500 guests. Having a team we trust completely means we can stay present and focused, knowing the results will incredible - and, delivered with an impressively quick turnaround every time! Thank you thank you guys! We had full event photography, video and edits after event. More...

Alex trained us on photography and videography techniques, including editing. As a hybrid company, we often need to respond to ad-hoc requests to quickly capture footage and photos in an agile way but didn’t know where to start. While there are plenty of online tutorials, I wanted to find a practical course, delivered in person to allow opportunities to ask plenty of questions and to guide us when practising the techniques. Having worked previously with Alex, I knew that he would diligently prepare the training and explain everything in a calm, instructive way – he was great! Despite having a lot of content to cover in just one week, we took on so much information and he made the process enjoyable, rather than overwhelming. The course covered lots of practical tips too, including equipment suggestions and things that we would never have considered without his guidance. Alex aimed the course perfectly at our level and broke up the training with examples, practical shooting sessions and setting up equipment – we would have really struggled on our own without this. Being given the support and space to learn outside our busy jobs, has really set us up for success. We recorded our first video interview a couple of weeks after the training and we felt much more confident in our approach. Our notes from the training session have been so helpful and clear reminders of things that we could easily forget in a rush – such as lens choices and selecting apertures. If you are looking to do more in-house and don’t know where to start, I’d highly recommend engaging Alex for training. It’s given us the confidence to try new things and feel much more comfortable in our approach. More...
