About Nick Davis

Filmmaker.
Photographer.
Storyteller.

25 years making films for the BBC, National Geographic, and Discovery. Now making them for businesses across Bristol, Bath, Cheltenham, Cardiff, Gloucester, Swindon and the wider West of England — with the same craft, the same standards, and the same obsession with getting the story right.

I've spent 25 years behind a camera making content that millions of people watched. As a series producer and creative director in broadcast television, I worked with the BBC, National Geographic, and Discovery Channel — managing large teams, multi-million pound budgets, and the kind of editorial standards that don't leave room for anything less than excellent.

That background shapes everything I do now. When I pick up a camera for a client in Bristol or South Gloucestershire, I bring the same instinct for story, the same eye for a frame, and the same understanding of what makes an audience stop and pay attention.

But broadcast craft is only half of it. I've spent years working in digital marketing — managing social media, advising clients on their online presence, and teaching marketing strategy. That means I don't just make content that looks good. I make content that works — because I understand the platforms it lives on, the audiences it needs to reach, and the outcomes it needs to drive.

I'm a fully qualified drone pilot with a CAA General Visual Competency certificate and a CAA Operational Authorisation — the highest level of civilian drone licensing available in the UK — with extended clearances to fly in restricted airspace for Network Rail, the National Trust, and the City of London.

My photography has been recognised by the International Photography Awards in New York, the Tokyo International Foto Awards, and the British Photography Awards. I also run a YouTube channel with over 13,000 subscribers dedicated to analogue and alternative photographic processes — because the love of the craft goes well beyond the day job.

I'm based in the West of England and work with clients across Bristol, Bath, Cheltenham, Cardiff, Gloucester, Swindon and the wider region — though the work takes me further afield when it needs to.
