About

I’m Duncan Orr, a photographer and videographer based in Glasgow, and I build visual stories for brands that need to look sharp, feel authentic, and perform online. Through my company Talking Parrot Creative, I create photography, promotional films, and short-form content across sport, hospitality, fitness, and commercial clients—bringing creative direction, filming, and editing together in one streamlined process.

I’ve worked with football clubs, PGA golfers, hotels, and fitness businesses, tailoring campaigns to each brand’s identity and audience. Alongside production, I also manage social media strategy and content delivery for platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube, using audience engagement and analytics to help campaigns land effectively.
