Capture the joy of care,
without disrupting the care.
Bespoke photo and video for care homes that show real life - warm, human, and premium. No stock clichés. No sad empty chairs. Just authentic content that fills beds and attracts staff.
Your website needs to show families what life is really like inside your homes.
But you're stuck with three bad options.
1: Stock imagery & video.
Families have seen it before. It looks staged. It doesn't show your homes, your residents, your care. And it certainly doesn't make anyone say, "Mum would love it here."
2: Commissioned photos & video that still miss the mark.
You commission a shoot, but what comes back feels cold or staged — it doesn’t reflect your true values. It just doesn’t deliver what it needs to — and you’re left with content you can’t use the way you intended.
3: Staff photos or videos.
Your activity coordinators are doing their best, but the photos come back with walking frames in shot, cluttered backgrounds, and residents looking lonely instead of engaged. You can't use them for the website. You definitely can't use them for PR.
You know you need professional content. But you're worried about disruption, dignity, and budget.
What happens when your visuals don't match your care?
Families visit your website before they visit your home. If what they see looks sad, staged, or generic, they move on. They never call. They never book a tour. They never see the warmth that actually exists inside your homes.
Your occupancy suffers. Your enquiries drop. Your team works harder to convert the leads you do get, because the website isn't doing its job.
Meanwhile, your competitors have invested in bespoke imagery. Their homes look vibrant. Yours look empty.
The gap between what you deliver and what you show is costing you new residents.
A safe pair of hands who knows the
care sector.
I’m Seb Chandler — the strategic lead behind Chandler Studio. I've spent 23 years as a commercial photographer, including extensive work in healthcare settings - care homes, hospitals, and clinical environments. Today I specialise in strategic video as well as photography production in the healthcare sector.
I understand the sensitivities. Consent. Dignity. Working respectfully without disrupting routines. Not photographing the paraphernalia that families don't need to see.
Website imagery and video.
That shows real life, not stock clichés.
Social media content.
That feeds your channels for months.
Recruitment material.
That attracts quality staff.
A house style.
That works consistently across your portfolio
PR assets.
That are actually usable when the opportunity arises
Authentic. Professional. Stress-free.
Video is no longer optional. Families want to see life in your homes, not just read about it. Short testimonials from residents and families. A fly-on-the-wall glimpse of daily life. Your values brought to life, not just written on a page.
But here's the problem: most care home teams don't have the skills or time to create professional video in-house. And when they try, it either looks amateur or sits unedited on someone's laptop for months.
I capture photo and video in a single shoot. You get the versatility of both formats without doubling your time or budget. And everything comes back edited, formatted, and ready to use - 10-second clips for social, 2-minute pieces for your website, and stills that match.
One shoot. One style. Months of content.
Photo and video captured together
Maximum output for minimum disruption.

Step 1: Discovery Call
We discuss your homes, your brand, and what you need the content to achieve. We’ll ask about your challenges with current content and where the gaps are.
Step 2: Planning & Logistics
We plan around the care home environment: scheduling, shot-planning, and a clear running order. If needed, we handle talent sourcing and releases — so your team isn’t carrying the load.
Step 3: The Shoot
We work respectfully around residents’ routines, so the day runs as normal. Staff aren’t pulled away from care. We capture real moments — not staged scenes.
Step 4: Delivery
You receive a full library of edited assets: photos, video clips, and longer-form content. Formatted for website, social, and PR. Ready to use immediately — with enough variety to last for months.
