About us

Born in the late-night glow of screens and storyboards, Light+Shade was formed from a restless, burning desire to tell stories that do more than fill our time but that make us feel.
Fuelled by stubborn ambition and a deep dedication to craft, what began with two directors has evolved into a powerhouse of in-house artists and collaborators.
A team that’s created bold, meaningful work for over 450 clients, outgrown 5 offices, broken 6 cameras, nurtured 48 underrepresented creatives and built one of Australia’s first green production facilities.
But beyond what we’ve done:

When you work with us, you’ll feel that same burning passion forged on dark nights in front of bright screens. Passion for detail and depth. For tension and release. For the magic that happens between the light and shade.

When we expect what we see, we notice nothing. It’s only moments of rawness, bravery and awe that has the power to captivate. Our role is to find you boundaries to push, and challenge you to take the big, meaty creative risks needed to create work with impact.

Craft is not a ‘nice to have’. It’s a non-negotiable. It’s the richness, the resonance, the fleeting gesture that provokes emotion and opens minds. When every element is expertly aligned, your brand becomes something your audience feels deeply - and carries with them long after the moment has passed.

Creativity should never be reserved for the select few. It burns brightest where collective thinking is nurtured, communication is open and egos are left at the door. When we create side by side the work becomes more than its deliverables. It’s stronger, deeper and something we’re all proud to own.

Creativity thrives in a foundation of trust. That’s why we believe in radical transparency: no hidden fees, no surprises, just clear communication and honest pricing. You’ll always know exactly where things stand, every step of the way.
We’re known for making work that moves people. That cuts through. That lasts. Because we don’t follow the trends that leads to content for content's sake — we always start from truth.
