Our True Story
We're deeply connected to what we do because it's not just work — it’s a story we live every day, shaped by real experiences, purpose, and a commitment that runs deeper than the lens can capture.
Founded by award-winning journalist Gregg McLachlan, he left a media career to finally follow his lifelong passion of nature and conservation. His original career goal in his twenties was to become a wildlife technician. His eventual return to conservation was a 360-degree moment,
only this time it would be to tell its unique stories of wild spaces and people.
We specialize in nimble, small-crew production that captures the heart of scientific and ecological work without getting in its way.
Our approach is grounded in more than a decade of field experience alongside researchers, wildlife biologists, and habitat restoration teams. We don’t need to be briefed on field protocols — we follow them. We don’t disrupt the work — we document it, authentically.
We understand that the best conservation stories happen where access is limited, where conditions change quickly, and where trust matters most.
