Top videographers of Manchester

Manchester has been on the map for decades, if not hundreds of years, as one of the most important cities of the UK.

From the industrial revolution to architecture, from world-famous music to culture, and from Rutherford first splitting the atom here in 1917 to being home to not one, but two, of the world’s most famous football brands; Manchester has always had a lot to offer and still does.

Amongst its many fine achievements is being home to some incredible videography talent, some of the best of which we showcase here.

Working and living in Manchester, UK, I have had clients that include Kodak, Uber, Sony, BFI, Deezer and Prettylittlething to name just a few. Working as a freelance videographer, editor and art director for the past 5 years, and specialising in experimental and immersive video art, I have a unique videography style that can be viewed or experienced as both memories and colourful hallucinations simultaneously. Due to my unique style and artistic mastery, I was selected from five hand-picked talented Talenthouse filmmakers and animators to capture Moxy’s unique style for a new Moxy New York City Downtown Hotel.
