Filmmaker, photographer, and social media specialist based in Edinburgh, Scotland.
About me:
I've spent the past decade developing video and creative for nonprofits and purpose-driven brands to help them cut through online and make impact.
Now, I still specialise in social and short-form video, and am working on more branded content, documentary projects and longer-form work (video + stills). I'm drawn to stories about politics and power, social movements, justice, the environment, and resilience.
Based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Available for collaborations globally.

What people say:
"Oli is an extremely talented and hard-working digital creative/campaigner. Just as important, he’s also good at building trust with colleagues and partners - his patience, humility and collaborative way of working enable him to work with a wide range of people, inspire confidence and strengthen relationships. This, alongside his technical ability and strategic thinking, makes him a huge asset to the team.”
Gabriel Davalos, Head of Campaigns, Uplift
"My initial feedback was ‘I don’t know how you’ve done that with what we've sent you’, haha.. Oli did a great job supporting Jeremy’s 2024 General Election campaign by editing together our launch video. This racked up millions of views, generated media coverage, and drove useful actions for our campaign by way of volunteer sign-ups and donations. His patience and constructive, solutions-focussed approach (alongside a fantastic final product) was greatly appreciated."
Oly Durose, Senior Communications Officer, Jeremy Corbyn MP
"Oliver brought a thoughtful and sensitive interpretation to a very difficult brief, and worked brilliantly with contributors throughout. We were blown away by the final film, it got the tone exactly right and meant a great deal to our members. He was also a pleasure to work with, communicative, responsive and thoughtful from start to finish."
Joe Hurst, Campaign Manager, Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK
"Oli was able to get up to speed quickly with the campaign, think strategically about creative approaches for engaging with our targets digitally and in-person, and provided fresh insights with a broad digital strategy to help guide thinking for the next phase of activity. He was truly a delight to work with and I would be delighted to work with him again in the future.”
