The story behind Shift Focus
Together, we bring two complementary perspectives to every project: the cinematic vision behind the film and the thoughtful imagery and partnerships that help tell the bigger story.
We collaborate with brands, businesses and creative teams across a range of industries, tailoring our approach to each project’s goals, identity and creative vision. Whether a project calls for film, photography or both, our focus is on work that feels considered, cohesive and meaningful.
Filmmaker & Creative Director
Shift Focus Media began as Connor’s way to turn a passion for film into purposeful visual work. With a background in video production, he leads the creative vision behind our films, guiding projects from the initial concept through production and final delivery.
Photographer & Creative Partnerships
Tanesha brings a focus on photography, creative partnerships and the relationships that bring each project to life. From developing client relationships and shaping concepts to capturing the details that make an image feel distinct, she connects the creative vision with the people, brands and experiences behind it.
The right team for the work
While the two of us lead every project, we believe the right team makes the work stronger. Depending on the scope and creative needs, we collaborate with trusted photographers, filmmakers and other creatives to expand what we can do and bring each vision to its fullest.
Great visual work starts with understanding the story behind it. We take the time to understand each vision, find what makes it distinct and translate it into photography and film that leaves a lasting impression.
