OUR MISSION
We work for a thriving world and healthy planet, where people are inspired and empowered to make personal, spiritual, social and environmental change.
We do this because we want a kinder, fairer, healthier world.
WORKING WITH US
Gaia Visual tells visual stories for organisations addressing the world’s social and environmental challenges.
And we love what we do.
You can trust us to be enthusiastic, hard working, collaborative and fun.
We are an intentionally small team, connected to global network of creatives that includes photographers , film-makers, editors, marketers, and writers.
This means we are agile and flexible, and can put exactly the right team together, whatever the brief.
We collaborate with our clients to tell visual stories about their impact so that they can grow their influence, teams and revenue.
Consultation
Clients often come to us with the beginnings of an idea, loosely defined intentions, logistical challenges and even differing stakeholder interests.
We will discuss your needs in depth, and clarify exactly what you want to say, to whom and why.
We always start by understanding your purpose: what business goals you want to achieve with your visual stories
This is how we help you shape your story, and ensure that we deliver exactly what you need.
Production
We are used to working alone, under pressure, in very challenging situations. And we are used to organising complex projects with many elements.
You will not need to babysit us. We can be the ‘fly on the wall’, or take control and direct.
We appreciate that you’re entrusting us with something valuable; you can trust us to deal with your clients, staff and all stakeholders with warmth and sensitivity.
If you’d like to talk about your ideas, projects and goals, book a no obligation call below.
WHO WE ARE
Jonathan Perugia
My passion and mission is creating visual stories for people who make the world a better place.
At a time when we are faced with so many challenges, I find the best way to stay sane and positive is to be as much part of the solution as possible.
Collaborating with inspiring people working for the greater good, and helping them share and grow their impact is my way of doing that.
My work depends on warm relationships and connections with people, a deep appreciation for the people I work with, and both documentary and commercial expertise.
Before establishing Gaia Visual, I have been a photojournalist (Associated Press) and documentary photographer based in Indonesia, shot nearly 50 city guides for Time Out, and facilitated photography workshops with people all over the world.
My creative development has also been a spiritual journey: gratitude, joy, fun, connection and love are at the heart of how and why I work.
I’m father to a lovely 10 year-old boy, so I'm particularly interested in how we bring up young men who are emotionally intelligent and value themselves, the women, children and other men around them; and of course, bequeathing a livable planet to future generations.
Phil Clarke Hill
I’m a documentary film maker and director, with over fifteen years international field experience.
I have dedicated much of my career to South America – regularly working throughout the region since 2011, and in particular in Brazil. I cover current affairs, features, environment, culture and development, operating either as a self-shooting director editor or part of a team on larger productions.
My work has been broadcast and published by major outlets including the BBC, the Guardian, National Geographic, Aljazeera, CNN, VOA, and Vice. I also produce commercial content for brands and NGOs including Somerset House, UNHCR, UNDP and WHO.
I’ve received grants from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting and One World Media for projects in Brazil, plus bursaries from Screen Skills and the Rory Peck Trust. I was a finalist for the Amnesty Media Award and Environmental Photographer of the Year, and have been awarded by the Royal Photographic Society and the International Photography Awards.
Robbie Sloan
I create strategically designed, story-led visual assets that fuel growth and profit.
I've been fortunate to work with Greenpeace, Amnesty, the BBC and ITV, and many other major brands and organisations.
I am the Creative Director for Heal Rewilding, a charity which is re-wilding blocks of land in the : the power of nature is sacred and I want to protect it for my children and future generations.
Having your target audience tell you that your work deeply connected with them is the most wonderful gift. I always strive to create visual stories that leave a lasting emotional resonance with the audience.
As a husband and father, my life outside screens and cameras consists of lots of family time, and nature experiences.
