🔥 Sound familiar? 🎙️

If your audio sounds harsh, sharp, or just plain uncomfortable to listen to… there’s a good chance it isn’t your microphone. It’s how you’re using it.

Getting too close to the mic, over-pronouncing your S’s, T’s, P’s and B’s, and forgetting basic mic technique can turn great content into something people subconsciously switch off.

In this reel, I’m having a little rant (for good reason 🤣) about one of the biggest mistakes I see creators, presenters and businesses making over and over again.

🎧 Better audio doesn’t always mean buying more expensive gear.
🎤 Sometimes it just means learning how to use the gear you’ve already got.

Watch the reel, save it for your next shoot, and tag someone who definitely needs to hear this… preferably from a little further away from the mic. 😅

🎬 POV: Your favourite colleague is also your favourite target… 😅

Every workplace has that one person… and for me, it’s Rich. 😂

From perfectly timed interruptions to the occasional bit of harmless chaos, this reel is proof that work doesn’t have to be serious all the time. We work hard, we laugh harder, and somehow we still get the job done. 🤝🎥

Behind every great production team is a friendship built on banter, trust, and winding each other up just enough to keep the days interesting. 😆

🎯 Tag the workmate you’re constantly annoying… or the one who’s always winding you up! 👇

🌈🎥 PRIDE. PEOPLE. PURPOSE.

What a weekend! We had an incredible time delivering a full social media takeover for It's in the Bag at Bristol Pride #. ❤️

From catching up with familiar faces to meeting amazing new people, we spent the weekend capturing the moments that mattered most. We produced everything from fast-paced reels and behind-the-scenes content to vox pops, interviews and long-form storytelling—all in real time to keep audiences engaged throughout the event.

At GD Media, our social media takeover service is designed for charities, festivals, businesses and events that want professional, engaging content while they focus on what they do best. We capture the atmosphere, tell your story and keep your social channels buzzing from start to finish. 📱🎬

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped to chat, shared their experiences and helped spread the life-saving message of testicular cancer awareness. 💗

If you’ve got an event coming up and want your social media to work as hard as you do, we’d love to help.

✨ There’s something truly special about watching a chef at the very top of their craft. ✨

Yesterday, we had the privilege of spending the day with Chef Carl Cleghorn | Modern British Cooking | Bold Flavours as he created a completely bespoke wedding menu for an intimate celebration. Every dish was carefully designed around the couple, proving that incredible food isn’t about the size of the event—it’s about creating unforgettable moments. 🤍

These beautifully handcrafted canapés were a masterclass in precision, flavour and presentation. Delicate, elegant and bursting with personality, each bite was designed to spark conversation and evoke a little nostalgia, reminding guests of familiar flavours reimagined in a luxurious way. 🍽️✨

It’s this level of thought, creativity and passion that makes every wedding menu unique. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just exceptional ingredients, meticulous attention to detail and a dining experience your guests will remember long after the last plate has been cleared.

Which canapé would you be reaching for first? 👇

🎤🎥 POV: You’re standing on stage at Testfest 2026, looking out at an incredible crowd and capturing every moment. 🤘☀️

There’s something special about seeing a festival from the stage. The energy, the smiles, the singing, the dancing, and the connection between the artists and the crowd—it’s a perspective that never gets old. 🔥🎶

2026 was an unforgettable weekend filled with fantastic live music, amazing people, plenty of laughter, and a shared mission to raise awareness for testicular cancer. From the first act to the final encore, the atmosphere was absolutely electric. ❤️

Being trusted to capture these moments from the heart of the action is one of the things I love most about creating content. Every photo, every clip, and every story helps preserve the memories of a truly special event.

The long-form film is on its way, and I can’t wait to show you what we captured from this unique perspective. 🎬👀

What a weekend. What a crowd. What a festival. 🙌

🎸🎥 POV: You’re behind the camera shooting the incredible at Testfest 2026! 🤘☀️

What a weekend. From sunshine to showers, amazing live music to unforgettable moments, Testfest 2026 had everything that makes a festival special. The atmosphere was electric, the crowds were fantastic, and the Barefoot Bandits absolutely brought the house down with an incredible headline performance. 🔥🎶

I genuinely love creating social media content at events like this—capturing the energy, the emotion, and those moments that make people wish they were there. This year, I also had the chance to work on a longer-form film that’s currently in production, and I can’t wait to share it with you soon. 🎬👀

A huge thank you to everyone who made such an incredible success. Great music, great people, and a great cause all rolled into one unforgettable weekend. ❤️

Stay tuned… the full film is coming soon! 🎥✨

There’s a temptation in food photography to over-style everything… tweezers out, fake steam, moving ingredients around for an hour.

But honestly? When the ingredients are this good and the food is created by someone as talented a. , the best thing we can do is stay out of the way and let the dish speak for itself. 🍽️🔥

No drastic editing.
No over-complicated styling.
No smoke and mirrors.

Just good light, strong composition, understanding the story behind the plate… and pressing the shutter at the right moment. 📸

Sometimes the art is knowing when not to interfere.

Massive credit to at the for consistently producing food that looks every bit as incredible as it tastes. 👏

Dodging the heat in the airconned office

I'm spending some time in front of the camera today to tell the world 🌎 just why we love helping veterens connect with charities!

Great set up and well, the air con was much appreciated as temperatures rise in the IK 🇬🇧
