  • I was so happy with Niall's work, the artistry, professionalism and beauty of it. I would absolutely recommend his services. I look forward to the next time my business has another project that we can hire him to help with and share his insights and talented eye.

  • Niall was super professional and went above and beyond to assist us on our Youth Gathering. Even though the area was remote and we had a few logistics challenges, Niall had a very positive attitude and was constantly filming, taking photos, or offering assistance with camp set up and take down. Niall has clearly worked heavily with remote Indigenous communities and it shows in both the demeanour and cultural sensitivity he works with and the end result, which was a lovely video that truly showcases the joy and vibrancy of a Tsilhqot'in cultural gathering.

  • Working with Niall was a pleasure. He took directives and blended into the scene to get natural photos that were exactly what I needed. He added a touch of his own personal style, which made the photos not just great as a recording of a moment, but also unique and fun!

  • If I can take away two things from working with Niall, it would be his professionalism and willingness to go beyond expectations. It has been a pleasure working with him and I look forward to the next time.
