Commercial photography, video & brand content · NS / NB

You do good work.
Let's make it look like it.

I'm Isaiah. I make photos and videos for businesses with something worth showing off. The people, the process, the stuff you make. Your nephew's iPhone can have the day off.

Show me the good stuff ↗

GOOD WORK. BAD JOKES.
Businesses have good sides too

Less “we should post something.”
More something worth posting.

A little personality goes a long way. So does having photos that weren't taken under the break-room fluorescent lights.

Press play.
Get a feel for it.

A business has more going on than a logo and an opening-hours sign. Here's some of it in motion.

Pick what you need. We'll figure out the rest.

Your business.
With a little more main-character energy.

01 / BRAND PHOTOGRAPHY

Show what makes you, you.

The people, products, spaces and behind-the-scenes details that give your business its personality. A collection of photos you can use across your website and marketing—without searching “friendly business person smiling” ever again.

02 / HEADSHOTS

Look like someone people want to meet.

Individual portraits and team photos with a little direction and a lot less awkwardness. You don't need to know what to do with your hands. That's literally part of my job.

03 / VIDEO PRODUCTION

Give your business a voice.

Promos, brand stories, interviews and event recaps. We'll work out what you want people to understand, then make a video that gets there. No inspirational slow-motion handshake required.

04 / SOCIAL CONTENT & MARKETING

Stop feeding the algorithm leftovers.

Reels, photos and video built around what your business actually has to say. I can help shape the ideas and the content, so “we should really do more on social” becomes something you can actually put out there.

You bring the business. I bring the cameras.

Here's how we get there.

01 / TALK IT THROUGH

What's the idea?

Tell me what you do, who you're trying to reach and where the content will live. A polished brief is welcome. A rambling voice note also counts.

02 / MAKE A PLAN

Let's give it some shape.

We'll agree on the concept, what we're making, the budget and the timeline. Then I handle the shoot and help people feel comfortable in front of the camera.

03 / PUT IT TO WORK

Good content. Actual places to use it.

I edit and deliver the agreed photos or video for the channels we've planned around. Your website, social pages and marketing get something fresh to work with.

For the people building something

You don't need
a marketing department.

You just need something worth sharing. I work directly with business owners and teams across Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Tell me what you're working on—even if the idea is currently held together by coffee and a Notes app.

That sounds familiar ↗

Fair questions

A little less guessing.
A little more clarity.

I have no idea what content I need. Is that a problem?

Nope. Start with what your business does and what you'd like people to know. We'll work out the format and the plan together. “Something better than what we've got” is a perfectly respectable starting point.

Can we shoot photos and video together?

Absolutely. We'll plan the shoot around both, so you get a useful mix of content from the same session. Tell me where you'll use it and we'll agree on what's included.

I'm awkward on camera. Can you help?

Yes. I'll give you direction, make room for a few tries and keep things relaxed. You don't need to show up with a television personality installed. Being yourself is plenty.

What does a commercial project cost?

It depends on what we're making. We'll talk through the scope, agree on the deliverables and confirm the price before we start. No vague “creative solutions” invoice appearing out of nowhere.

How long does delivery take?

We'll agree on a timeline for your project before we shoot. If you've got a launch, event or campaign date coming up, tell me early so we can plan around it.

Do you work outside Amherst?

I work with businesses across Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Send me the location and I'll confirm availability and any travel costs. Road-trip snacks remain my responsibility.
