Broome based photojournalists and documentary film-makers Richard Costin and Annabelle Sandes have an intimate knowledge of the magnificent, rugged and remote Kimberley region of Western Australia. Our work has featured in national newspapers and magazines, environmental NGO and government publications, advertising campaigns, hard-cover books and on national television.
We specialise in aerial, wilderness, wildlife and underwater imagery, Kimberley film documentaries, time-lapse photography and digital audio files, using Canon professional cameras, digital audio equipment, tow cameras, drop cameras and hydrophones.
Browse our online photography galleries, or contact us for high resolution downloads, corporate and editorial assignment work, or a competitive quote for designing a website for your business. With many more images than it's possible to display on a website, we may just have that image that you're looking for.
We also design brochures, web sites and related materials for small and micro businesses, adding customised photography, movies and unique illustrations, and can help with an integrated email marketing campaign. Have a look at some examples.
With a detailed knowledge of the Kimberley coast and a good relationship with local tourism operators, we are also able to assist with guiding services and the co-ordination of vessel charters, air charters and general passenger logistics.
