Visual Storytelling Inspired by a Lifelong Passion for Sailing
For yacht designers, manufacturers, and brokers, conveying the elegance, innovation, and prestige of boats is vital. At BartonHillBunch, this isn’t just a service—it’s my craft, born out of a lifelong connection to the world of sailing. Combining photography, CGI, retouching, and AI, BHB offers visual storytelling that’s uniquely tailored to the marine sector.
A Racing Background: Small Boats to Big Challenges
My love for sailing and being on the water began in childhood, racing dinghies with my brother along the Kent coast. Dinghy racing quickly became my passion. It was the one thing I excelled at, and I loved the freedom and challenge it offered.
As I grew older, my horizons expanded. I joined the crew of a high-performance race boat as helm for some of the most prestigious events in the sailing calendar, winning races at Cowes Week, Cork, IRC Nationals and The Scottish Series. These experiences deepened my understanding of sailing’s technical and strategic complexities. Racing big boats taught me lessons I’d missed as a teenager—lessons in precision, teamwork, and strategic thinking that have stayed with me ever since.
From the nimble dynamics of dinghies to the sheer power of big boats, my journey across the world of sailing has given me a unique appreciation for yachts and the marine environment. This connection forms the foundation of the creativity and precision we bring to every project at BartonHillBunch.
Creativity and Anticipation: The Art of Sailing and Storytelling
For me, sailing is as much an art as it is a sport. Sailing sharpens your instincts—you’re constantly reading the environment, watching the wind, feeling the boat, and anticipating what’s coming next. It also taught me that you never stop learning. Whether on the water or in the studio, each day brings a new experience.
Sailing has taught me discipline and creativity. It’s about balancing control with adaptability—managing unpredictable elements, whether it’s the sea or the demands of a shoot. That mindset allows me to tell stories that feel real and engaging.
My years on the water have given me a unique perspective on the marine sector. I understand what makes a boat special—not just in its design or function, but as an experience. This insight helps BHB create visuals that don’t just showcase yachts but bring them to life, resonating deeply with both clients and their customers.
Why BartonHillBunch is Different: The Power of Dreams
At BartonHillBunch, we are able to combine decades of experience in photography and design with a deep appreciation for the marine world. Unlike many studios, we use CGI and AI as tools to extend our storytelling capabilities, not as standalone technical solutions. Our teams background as image makers is essential. We don’t just create visuals—we craft stories that evoke emotion. We understand the depth and detail that allows a picture to feel real. For me, yachts aren’t just products—they’re dreams. I know what it feels like to be on the water, and I aim to convey that in every image we create. Whether it’s the joy of a sunlit deck or the drama of a yacht cutting through waves, our goal is to capture the essence of the experience.
What You Can Expect
When you work with BartonHillBunch, you can expect a collaborative and tailored approach. My deep understanding of the marine sector, combined with our advanced technical expertise, ensures that every project is visually striking and strategically effective.
I love what I do, and that passion shines through in our work. For me, it’s about more than creating beautiful images—it’s about telling stories that resonate and showcase the incredible world of life on the water.
With a blend of passion, expertise, and innovative tools, whether you’re designing, building, or selling yachts, we’re here to bring your vision to life with authenticity and impact.
