We are Shepherd Creative

We work across scripted, non-scripted, and commercial projects in both photo and video, bringing the same care and creative attention to a micro short as we do to a full-scale brand campaign. Whether it’s fiction or documentary, stills or motion, our work is grounded in real emotion, thoughtful storytelling, and a deep respect for our collaborators.

Alongside our commissioned work, we also develop and produce our own original films and documentaries, these projects allow us to explore personal stories, take creative risks, and collaborate with emerging talent. These are the stories we feel compelled to tell, shaped by lived experience, local identity, and a love for character driven cinema.

We’re proud to be a neurodiverse-led company that values inclusivity on both sides of the camera. We champion fresh voices, local perspectives, and underrepresented stories. From development to delivery, we work with heart, hustle, and a lot of caffeine.

Our mission is simple:
• Tell good stories.
• Work with good people

We’re a small core team, but we’re lucky to be surrounded by an incredible extended network of freelancers, creatives, and collaborators

Depending on the size and scope of a project, we build bespoke teams from this talented pool, making sure every job gets the right people behind it. We believe good work comes from good relationships, and we’re proud to work with people who are not only skilled at what they do, but also genuinely great to have on set.
