About James Russell and Flat Frog Films

Flat Frog Films was built on a simple belief: great content starts with understanding — not just of cameras and lighting, but of people, brands, and the stories they want to tell.

Our founder and director, James Russell, came into the industry through a hands-on route, learning his craft by creating a documentary entirely from scratch. That early experience shaped the way we work today — with patience, curiosity, and a strong focus on listening before creating.

That mindset now runs through everything we do. Whether we’re producing cinematic video, jewellery photography, fashion imagery, or social media content, our approach is always the same: to understand what matters most to our clients and translate that into visuals that feel authentic, polished, and purposeful.

We know that choosing a creative partner is an important decision. Creative work is inherently subjective — it’s not just about technical ability, but about alignment, trust and shared understanding. That’s why we place so much value on collaboration, clear communication, and creating a relaxed, supportive working environment from the very first conversation.

We take the time to understand the personality of each brand, the nuance behind every brief, and the expectations that sit beneath the surface. By doing so, we’re able to deliver work that feels genuinely aligned — on time, on budget, and often exceeding what was initially imagined.

what our clients say about us

We have been using Flat Frog for the past 7 years for our pack shots and it has made a massive difference to our company. The quality of the images is fantastic. James and his team are great to deal with. Would highly recommend.

Martin & Co

We had a very good experience with Flat Frog Films for ghost mannequin photography of our products. James is incredibly friendly and professional. We didn’t have the right sizes with us on the day of shooting but he was very flexible and fit us in to the next day. He was also accommodating in retouching the photos, making sure the output was exactly as we wanted. The Chesham studio is very easy to commute from London so would highly recommend working with them.

Bell St Jeans

Amazing service would highly recommend!

Oye Cultxre

James and his team are consistently producing great shots for my website. On top of that he has produced 360 videos which have had so much positive feedback. Given how difficult it is to produce really good photos of jewellery  I can honestly say that Flat Frog are well worth using. I have and will continue to tell people in my trade to use James if they want a truly professional service with someone that understands Jewellery Photography.

Paul James

Big fans of Flat Frog, I use them for all my product shots and it’s just easy which is key. Half the time I don’t even tell them product is coming, and a couple of days later I get images! U don’t have to worry- and the images are perfect. Highly recommend if you’re after great images for your website.

Johnny Szymanski

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Flat Frog for the second time, and once again, it was a fantastic experience. James and Casey exemplify professionalism and friendliness, offering guidance throughout the shoot. Their knack for finding the perfect models and their creativity in every photoshoot make the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Without a doubt, I’ll be returning for future projects. Thanks once again.

Makrom UK

What an incredible experience! As a new brand we couldn’t have imagine the level of expertise and skill that Flat Frog would bring to the table. They’ve helped elevate our brand far beyond our expectations. We’re excited to continue working with them and are confident they will play a pivotal role in our business journey.
