To integrate or not to integrate? The great question for many marketers related to photography and video productions. We get it, both ways. We’ve run successful standalone photo shoots and we’ve delivered countless integrated photo + video productions, both on-location and in-studio. Our 18 years of experience in both worlds allows us to maintain visual consistency across all your content.
We ensure your brand's visual identity remains cohesive while meeting the unique demands of each medium. Most importantly our focus is to create strategic imagery that enhances your marketing collateral, social channels, and campaign needs.

DARREN JOSEY, VP OF MARKETING, NEMO EQUIPMENT
“As a Marketing Executive, I hired Nick and the team at Fortland to work on campaigns for several brands I've managed. From short form documentaries, to video ads, to photos we used for omnichannel advertising--they can do it all. What I've really appreciated about working with Fortland is their ability to effectively produce both small projects with just two people to multi-day, multi-location, large productions with the same high quality of deliverables and client management. I'm still showing clients the work we did together from last decade and this decade! 5 out of 5 will hire again.”
Our passion for filmmaking, for taking photos, it’s rooted in our days as kids. Making skateboarding films, photographing our friends snowboarding and countless classic cops & robber films on the weekends. Our love for creating is built into our core and it won’t go away. Today we still get out there, doing photo shoots for fun, crafting documentaries on our own dime, and shooting short passion project films.
We pursue these passion projects because it’s in our soul, it helps refine our storytelling craft, and then brings a fresh perspective and innovative techniques back to our client work.
