CREW ONLY FILMS - DOCUMENTARY & BRAND FILMS
The film extension of two decades of sailing photography craft
Crew Only Films is the film side of my work — documentary, brand, and editorial moving image, shot with the same eye and discipline as the stills.
The series began as a personal project (the CSDTV episodes you may have seen on YouTube) and now functions as the home for commissioned film work alongside the photography practice.
What I take on:
Long-form documentary projects — sailing, expedition, character-led, port communities
Brand films for yacht brands and luxury adjacents — campaign work, hero films, festival-format short films
Event highlight films — regatta recaps, brand-activation films
Director of photography for larger productions— when a project needs sailing/water/aerial expertise you can't fake
How it works:
Film projects are quoted individually. Most brand film projects fall in the €10,000–€40,000 range depending on scope, days, and post-production.
