CORE EXPERTISE

Hi there, my name is Jeff Shaw, I am a creative director, designer, professional photographer and videographer. For over 20 years I have specialized in the art of communication, building web, print and digital campaigns for a wide array of clients. In my spare time, I teach and volunteer in my community.

As an creative director and consultant, one of the most enjoyable aspects of my job is my mentorship role. Being able to share my knowledge of industry standard software and emerging technologies keeps me energized and engaged. I’ve led teams of various sizes and do so with a laid back, patient style.

Design: Typical duties and roles:

  • Concept creation
  • Brand compliance
  • Building out collateral and assets across multiple mediums
  • See projects from concept to completion
  • Train staff in software literacy

As a professional shooter, I have extensive experience on the set and on location. In addition to my role as a photographer, I have also directed both photography and video shoots. I am an experienced video shooter, editor, colour grading technician and audio specialist.

Video: Typical duties and roles:

  • Storyboard and concept creation
  • Video preproduction and planning
  • Brand messaging and communications plan
  • Lighting, audio and video set up
  • Production: Audio/Video editing
  • Narration / Voiceover
  • Music composition
The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers.
