There’s something about travel that stays with you.

The early morning light. The unexpected conversation. The feeling of arriving somewhere new.

Over the years, we've had the privilege of telling stories across some extraordinary corners of the world, creating films and photography for travel, hospitality and lifestyle brands that inspire people to explore.

We've spent years chasing stories around the world. The Travel + Lifestyle page is now live bringing together a few of our favourites.

Over the years, we’ve had the chance to create work for skincare, cosmetics and fashion brands across the world, so a new page we’ve been especially excited to share is Beauty + Fashion.

From luxury to bold campaign moments, these are projects shaped by atmosphere as much as aesthetics.

Once upon a time - six years ago, to be precise - our founder Ben Wylson was asked to direct a short film.

It all started with a tale about a bronze tiger family heirloom and the dark stories of the curse that followed it. A comedy-script passion-project was on the table, written by our friends Joanne Oatts and Mark Winter.

The team got to work and, with zero budget, this was the result.

Amongst other stars, you may recognise the wonderful Jessica Fostekew, who is now well known for her stand-up appearances, Live at the Apollo.

We truly believe there is no better way to appeal to hearts and minds than through passionately crafted audiovisual storytelling.

We made Wild Bites for BBC Earth Kids. A little series about amazing animals, using the BBC's natural history archive, narrated by Yussef Rafik.
We loved making it. Eight million views in, it turns out a lot of other people loved it too.
