Our Story

Saltwater Media Co tells tales from the ocean and the outdoors. 

 

Two cinematographers and a creative director, we live on Wadandi Boodja and deliver work that reflects and respects the country we work on.

 

We share decades of editorial and commercial experience, born from the surfing media but now reaching much further and with far more purpose. 

 

We appreciate both sides of the client/creative coin. We put a premium on our production values.

 

We pride ourselves on our communication, our attention to detail, and the ‘why’ behind our work.
