St. Louis Photography + Video Production
Barlow Productions partners with businesses, brands, and agencies to create photography and video that informs, inspires, and builds trust. Led by producer and director Patrick Barlow, with support from a core team of experienced creative professionals, we produce strategic visual content that helps organizations communicate clearly and connect meaningfully with audiences.
video production
Refined visuals, confident tone, no gimmicks. It’s not enough for a video to be creative, it must clearly support business goals, whether that’s client acquisition, thought leadership, recruitment, or training. Patrick Barlow leads clients through the development of effective video strategies, providing steadfast guidance and distilling complex concepts into clear and compelling content. From marketing and training videos to television commercials, industrial videos and social media explainers, he leverages a lifetime of production experience to deliver turnkey video solutions with defined budgets and clear timelines.
Patrick guides the entire production from concept to completion. Flexibility is maximized with cut-downs for social, reels for recruitment, and long-form videos for the website. From script writing to location scouting, selecting ideal talent to choosing equipment and crew, it’s the producer’s responsibility to oversee every detail and Patrick is one of the most experienced producers in St. Louis.
photography
Relatable, personal, professional. Candid but composed, behind-the-scenes “office lifestyle” imagery and portraits that showcase the people who make a business special. Real people, real projects, never stock. We create photographs that bring our clients’ stories into clear focus, crafting an accessible, approachable brand without ever appearing offhand or unrefined. It’s not buzzword authentic, it actually is authentic. That builds trust, because audiences see the difference.
We help clients in high-trust industries like law, finance and healthcare to connect meaningfully with customers—from our St. Louis studio and on location across the Midwest. Chief photographer Bill Sawalich brings enthusiasm and expertise to every assignment, from the factory floor to the Fortune 500 C-suite, he puts a human face on brands and helps people look more comfortable, confident and capable.
CLIENTS
We partner with businesses across high-trust industries such as banking, finance, law, and construction to produce brand assets that inform, inspire and empower. From Fortune 500 companies to small businesses and nonprofits, we are proud to have earned the trust of so many outstanding companies.
