Hi, I’m Garry Hardwick. I’m a professional video editor, photographer and videographer with a track record of turning footage into high-end, compelling adverts and cinematic pieces. I have four years as a senior creative editor in an advertising company, specialising in TV adverts, and twelve years creating and editing high-end wedding videos. I’m proficient across Adobe Creative Suite and leverage AI filmmaking techniques to deliver engaging content for social media and brand campaigns. I recently co-wrote, shot and edited my own feature film, Charlotte, which premiered at FrightFest 2024 in Leicester Square and is now available on Prime Video, Apple TV and Tubi. I enjoy collaborating with clients to craft visual stories that resonate across platforms, from wedding albums to promotional campaigns.
