I’m Kasey Mortensen, a freelance videographer, photographer, and creative producer based in Manchester. Through my company Optimized Pixels, I deliver end-to-end video production, commercial photography, and social media content for businesses, brands, and live events—handling everything from the creative brief and shoot planning to filming, editing, colour grading, and final delivery.
I’ve built solid experience across corporate productions, conferences, major UK arenas and music venues, festivals, sports, and branded campaigns. I also bring strong business leadership skills from running my own training and fat-loss business for several years, and I’ve worked effectively both independently and alongside agencies, production companies, and creative teams—so you get reliable communication, great production quality, and content that performs.
