Service 03 — Leen Media

Stories that
move.

Travel photography and documentary film for brands, NGOs and storytellers — shot on the road, edited with patience, told without the gloss.

Documentary film

Real people,
real light.

Long-form and short-form films built from genuine moments — interviews, b-roll and atmosphere woven into one honest cut.

On location

From the Rift
to the coast.

Comfortable working remote and rugged — highlands, savannah, market towns and shoreline, with kit that travels light.

Project stories

Work with a pulse.

Each project is a chapter — built around the people in it. A look at recent documentary and travel commissions.

Story 01

Salt & Patience

A short documentary following salt harvesters on the shores of Lake Magadi — three days of pre-dawn starts to catch the working light.

Gear

One bag, three weeks: the kit that travels light
