    About    

Hello and welcome to my site! My name is Louis Bird-Mendes and I am a video producer from London, currently working at the Financial Times. I provide video / photo services for their specialist publications including The Banker, fDi intelligence and PWM.

​

I come from a strong computing background with a MSc in Computer Security and Digital Forensics.

However, I have spent most of the last decade working with cameras and learning how to create engaging and memorable imagery.

​

I am always excited to hear about new projects, if you would like me to work with you as a Licensed Drone Pilot, Photographer, Videographer or Video Editor, please get in contact. I have examples of my work below and stock images/footage you can buy for your projects. I look forward to working with you in the future.

Jacopo Dettoni looks into their emerging role as a major force of foreign direct investment. Filmed and edited by Louis Bird-Mendes.
