Hello!
I'm Simon, also known as SM6 Social. I'm a storyteller who captures the heart of every moment. Whether it's a cultural event, a personal milestone, or a brand's message, I use my camera to craft authentic narratives that connect with audiences on an emotional level.
Why Choose Me?
With a passion for creativity and a dedication to excellence my goal is to leave you feeling empowered and make your event or brand stand out. My ability to connect with people and build strong relationships sets me apart.
My Journey
My journey began in the cultural sector at Sutton Council’s Cultural Services, where I honed my skills in photography, videography, and content creation over four years. I captured a diverse range of events, from intimate author talks to vibrant children's theater performances.
My work also included producing promotional videos, conducting interviews, and creating visually engaging artwork for Sutton's Libraries and Heritage Houses.
During my tenure, I successfully managed Sutton Heritage's social media channels, driving a significant increase in followers: Facebook followers grew by 78%, and Instagram followers by 63%.
My experience at Sutton Council has opened doors to exciting external projects. I've photographed performances at the Camden Fringe Festival and local music events, and produced event highlight videos for small businesses. Since being made redundant, I'm eager to leverage my skills and passion to create compelling visual content.

Videography
I didn't even realise he was filming to that detail until I saw the finished video. He was considerate as he moved around the venue, natural in capturing those special moments and took the time to understand the business beforehand, so it could be fully represented in the finished video.

Social Media Content Creation
He brings creativity, passion, and diligence to everything he gets involved with. His design skills are easily seen, but it's his people skills that really set him apart in my mind.
