Hey, I’m Reuben.
I’m a filmmaker and photographer based on the Isle of Wight, the place I proudly call home.
For nearly a decade, I’ve been creating films and capturing moments professionally. My journey started in music, led me through weddings and commercial projects, and ultimately brought me to where I truly thrive: specializing in food, drink, and lifestyle content.
I’m passionate about helping brands tell their stories, showcasing their stunning recipes, and taking their audiences on unforgettable adventures.
If you think we could make a great team, check out the five case studies below. They’ll give you a glimpse of my work and hopefully help you decide if I’m the right fit for your vision.

Through a blend of cinematic storytelling and beautifully composed shots, I focused on the essence of Wight Whiskey – from the rich textures of their barrels to the breathtaking landscapes that influence their process. The shoot highlighted the craftsmanship behind their whiskey while tying it to the island’s heritage and stunning scenery.
