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

I'm a self-shooting producer, director and editor based in Sydney. I film and edit brand films, founder stories, sport, and documentary-style content for businesses that need someone who can run a shoot solo and deliver a finished edit, not just raw footage. 15+ years behind the camera, on jobs for Animal Planet, FIFA, Tottenham Hotspur FC, WTA, KPMG, McGrathNicol, and Vanity Fair UK. I've shot in 40+ countries, covered live sport under pressure, and directed corporate films for clients who needed to look credible to their own customers and investors. What I handle, start to finish: - Brand films and founder/company stories - Corporate and executive interviews - Social content (Reels, hero films, behind-the-scenes) - Travel, sport and documentary-style shoots - Full post-production: editing, colour, sound, delivery I shoot on a Sony FX6 with a cinema lens kit and I'm comfortable as a one-man crew or working alongside a bigger production team. Most of my clients want one person they can brief once and trust to handle the camera, the lighting, and the edit without a producer hovering over the shoot. That's the gap I fill. Recent work has included ongoing video editing for a medical device company's patient engagement content, brand films for startups and small businesses, and corporate interview setups for agencies needing a local shooter in Sydney. If you need someone who can turn up, shoot it well, and hand you a finished film, send me a message and tell me about the project. I reply fast and I'm straightforward to work with.
