My name is Rogan Steele. I’m a Canadian-Kiwi freelance filmmaker and Director of Photography, currently based in Melbourne, Australia and working with clients around the world. I specialise in creating clean, cinematic visuals that help brands and businesses tell compelling stories. Over the past several years I’ve worked across a wide range of productions including: • Commercial and branded content • Corporate and medical productions • Documentary and interview storytelling • Studio product photography and video • Social media content and campaign visuals • Events and live productions Whether it’s a run-and-gun documentary shoot, a carefully lit studio setup, or a polished corporate video, I bring the same focus: creating visuals that feel professional, authentic, and engaging. At the end of the day, great video is about people. The reason we care about films, brands, and stories is because we connect with the people inside them. My goal on every project is to capture that connection in a way that feels natural and cinematic. If you’re looking for someone reliable who can help plan, shoot, and deliver high-quality video or photo content, I’d love to hear about your project. Feel free to reach out and we can chat about how to bring your idea to life. Cheers, Rogan

With over 20 years of experience in the film and TV industry, John Kelly is a director, cinematographer, photographer, actor, and presenter. His photography and video studios are located in Melbourne, Australia. John works as a professional actor, recently starring alongside Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy, Queer as Folk) in the Amazon production of Shantaram, which is filming in Melbourne and Thailand in 2021. John’s experience on both sides of the camera gives him a unique set of skills. He can direct both trained onscreen talent (actors, presenters and models) and also work with people who may feel less confident in front of the camera (CEOs, business owners, families, and couples at wedding shoots). His ability to make people feel relaxed helps deliver natural-looking photos and videos. Most of John’s clients are from the film/TV and music industries, corporate, government and education sectors, construction, real estate, and the fashion industry. John’s expertise is particularly sought out by clients who require dramatic content filmed with actors and models for promoting a product or service, or for their corporate branding. For these types of jobs, the final results must always be as realistic and natural as possible. John and his team shoot primarily with the Canon R5, which is the best hybrid photo/video camera available on the market. It has a 45MP sensor for producing incredibly detailed photos, and it also shoots 8K video in RAW. This camera is designed to be used with Canon’s RF series of lenses, which are undoubtedly the best photography lenses ever made. John’s equipment list also includes 2 DJI drones which shoot 4K video and take RAW photos, 4 Panasonic 4K cameras for multi-cam shoots, along with a large selection of lighting, microphones, stabilizers, and tripods. He has all the necessary equipment for full-scale TV productions, including the best cameras and lenses available on the market.
