Since the start of Kin, Ailidh and Roman have worked on the photography and videography for all our big events, and they’ve smashed it every time.
Each event has been like a marker that shows just how quickly they’re both developing in their skillsets. Super professional, super up for it all, and we’ve felt privileged to have them on board each time. Both their latest work at Rotate fest was just top tier.
Give them a follow and keep an eye on this pair — and get ‘em booked! 🧡
