Remarkable places
Real stories

Family overlanding. Documentary photography. Immersive 360.

Work with us

A family trip, then another, then something clicked

TDF began the way most good things do: organically, as something we were already doing. A family that travels, documents, and tells stories. Rafa with his cameras and creativity. Mariella building projects with impact. Sophie growing up and discovering the world on the road.

Over time, we realised those pieces fit together naturally: the real places we reached, the stories we found along the way, and the 360/VR content we captured could have a second life through Reality Telling, our social impact company working in hospitals and care homes. Travelling, building access, producing cinematic content, and bringing immersive experiences to people who cannot physically reach those places stopped being a coincidence and started becoming a model.

That is what this is about now: real access, real presence, and cinematic content with a life beyond the journey, in media, brands, institutions, and also in a hospital room.

Three ways we tell the story

Featured stories

A selection of journeys, documentary moments, and field stories that reflect how we work.

The family

Not every story can be told from a desk

We're a field production studio that travels as a family. When we're somewhere remarkable, a cultural institution, a national park, a working community, we produce cinematic travel stories, documentary photography, and immersive 360/VR experiences simultaneously.

One operation. Three outputs. For destinations, brands, and institutions that need more than a standard shoot.

Let's build something
worth remembering

If you have a place worth documenting, a story that deserves more than standard coverage, or an institution that's never been filmed properly, reach out. That's usually where the best work starts.
