Working with Darren and Emma has been a dream! As a small business owner, I need to be very careful about how I spend my money and am often skeptical when something seems too good to be true! Well, I definitely feel like they’ve accomplished the impossible: quality and value, for a very fair price! They have helped me establish a beautiful, consistent, and relevant on line presence! I can’t thank them enough!!! More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
The secret to taking a great photograph is understanding the vision and expectations of the client. Creative communication is difficult with words alone, so we recommend visual references as a helpful way for photographer and client to get on the same page. A competent photographer is important for capturing a great image but equally important is planning and preparing what is in front of the camera as well. A keen wardrobe choice, for example, can turn an average image into a stand-out image that gains attention and engagement.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
Timeline and budget are always good places to start. How much time and money is being invested in any project clearly communicates scope and expectations to all parties involved. After that, "What's the best case scenario? What would be your ideal outcome?" is a favorite question of ours. "Do you have any references or inspiration to share with us?", always helps to communicate creative ideas/vision.
What do you love most about your job?
People. It's all about the people. Photo/Video creation is a team sport. See/Saw is built upon strong bonds and healthy relationships between talented creative people.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I started out as a PA (Production Assistant) 7 years ago. Being on set for a number of photo and commercial video jobs, I found myself thinking of how to streamline and maximize each part of the project. Soon, friends and colleagues suggested, "Dude, you ARE a producer". Project management suits me, and my love for photography and film have allowed me to produce projects with dozens of amazing and talented photographers and directors.
Why should our clients choose you?
Clients should choose me because I do great work and am easy to work with.
