Our Focus
Businesses hire us to create compelling visuals that tell their stories and humanize their brands. We blend decades of photography and video expertise to clarify value and build trust through connection, credibility and consistency.
video production
Refined visuals, confident tone, no gimmicks. It’s not enough for a video to be creative, it needs to clearly support business goals, whether that’s client acquisition, thought leadership, recruitment, or internal training. Patrick Barlow leads his clients through the development of their most effective video strategies, providing steadfast guidance and distilling complex services into clear and compelling content. From marketing and training videos to television commercials, industrial videos and social media product explainers, he leverages a lifetime of production experience to deliver turnkey video solutions with clear timelines.
Patrick guides the entire process from concept to completion. Repurposing is planned from the start to maximize ROI with cut-downs for social, short reels for recruitment, and long-form videos for the website. From script writing to location scouting and selecting the ideal talent, equipment and crew, it’s all the producer’s responsibility and Patrick is one of the most experienced producers in St. Louis.
photography
Relatable, personal, professional. Candid but composed, behind-the-scenes imagery and portraits that showcase the people who make your business special. Real people, real projects, never stock. We use photography to bring our clients’ stories into clear focus, crafting an accessible, approachable brand without ever appearing too casual 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 share their culture and pride—from our St. Louis studio and on location throughout the midwest. Chief photographer Bill Sawalich brings enthusiasm and expertise to every assignment, from the factory floor to the Fortune 500 C-suite, helping conservative brands to look more modern and capable—never boring.
