Photography that helps move people to action.

From my work as a senior visual communications manager in an international NGO— and collaborations with campaigners, institutions and brands — I know images must build trust and clarify your message across social, web, reports and print.

I develop clear briefs, source the right local photographers (or shoot myself), and curate selections that stand out visually while staying true to your narrative and audience.

01 Project documentation

Authentic, on-location visuals that capture activities, context and outcomes for advocacy, reporting, fundraising and campaigning.
02 Protagonist-driven storytelling

Human-first, trust-based narratives that honour the person — while helping audiences grasp context, stakes and impact with empathy.
03 Event documentation

Discreet, high-quality coverage of panels, campaign activities and conferences — delivered fast for press, socials and recap use.
04 Image sets for your database

Structured, reusable image sets for your organisation’s database: consistent metadata, rights clarity and long-term usability.

Production team options

Depending on the need for local expertise, audience insight and production complexity, these are thegoodmessage.studio highly efficient production setups:

01
Local creator(s) on location, remote co-producing.

Remote project lead by Tobias. The most cost-efficient setup — highly efficient in logistics and footprint, while leveraging trusted local access and expertise through a shared co-production process.

02
Local creator(s) and Tobias on location, co-producing together.

A strong hybrid setup — highly efficient on the ground, combining local knowledge and relationships with on-site creative direction and a clear focus on your target audience.

03
Tobias on location.

Photography/film/audio production led by Tobias — highly efficient for fast decisions and consistent quality, with optional local support (assistant producer / fixer / second camera) depending on scope.
