Stories from the Work and Beyond
After more than three decades working in photography, video production, and visual storytelling, I've learned that some of the best stories come from the people, projects, and experiences along the way.
Here, I share client projects, creative processes, practical business insights, and personal reflections, including my Walk in My Woods series. It's a place for curiosity, lessons learned, and stories worth sharing.

My Experience with Being a Video Subject
Earlier this year, I set out to make a corporate bio video, discussing what Indermaur Media is all about. I started the project before the Pandemic (with no beard) and ended up finalizing it with a much-needed haircut and a beard. :) But more importantly, I learned so much from the experience of sitting in front of the camera, instead of my usual position behind it.
Still Creating During a Pandemic

Our Passionate Video Production Crew
We were on a Boston corporate compliance video project, and toward the end of the day, the client told me why she enjoys working with the Indermaur Media crew. The list of items she shared was inspiring, and a gentle reminder of why I love multimedia productions and the people that create a terrific team.
While on the video set, we shared our passion for what we do. In this video assignment, we had seven crew members, six actors, and three client-side art directors to oversee the video production. Over the years, I have always worked with top-notch, experienced crew members that are professional and very passionate about what they do — having passion about what one does all day is essential to be successful with their task and create a rockstar crew.
