Photography · Video · Drone · Events · Podcasts
EMpowered Media is personal brand photography, videography, drone filming and podcast production for business owners. Shoot at EMpowered Media Studios near Worksop, or we come to you, anywhere in the UK or abroad. Every shoot is planned by me, a marketing strategist, so nothing is just pretty. It all has a job to do.
A word, lovely
If your camera roll is 4,000 screenshots and one blurry selfie from 2019, we need to talk. Your business deserves to look as good as it actually is.
Emily Mallender, founder
What we do
Photography, videography, drone, event filming and podcast production with 1 team, planned around what you sell. No juggling 4 suppliers and a group chat from hell.
Headshots that don't look like a passport photo. Lifestyle, behind the scenes, product and team shots. A bank of images you'll use for months, not one "nice one" you post to death.
→
Talking-head videos, reels, promo films, sales page videos and client testimonials. Shot properly, lit properly, with sound that doesn't make you sound like you're in the bathroom.
→
Aerial footage of your premises, venue, event or retreat. The shot that makes someone stop mid-scroll and think, "oh, they're a proper business".
→Conferences, launches, retreats, workshops and awards nights. We capture the room, the speakers and the moments everyone will still be talking about next month, plus testimonials while people are buzzing. UK wide and international.
→
From "I've always wanted a podcast" to episode 1, live. Concept, format, guest plan, recording, editing and launch. I host The EMpire Diaries, so I know exactly where podcasts go wrong.

Don't just take my word for it
No scripts. No paid actors. Just women who booked EMpowered Media, pressed record and told us how it went. Grab a brew and have a watch.
Was it worth the money?
“Every. Single. Penny.”
“Emily put together an absolutely fantastic day. Everything was thought about, everything was organised, and I felt completely comfortable just being ME. I walked away with far more than a collection of lovely photographs.”
“I’d rather do pretty much anything than have my photo taken!”
“But somehow, the lovely Emily Mallender and her fabulous team managed to coax me out of hiding and in front of the camera! And would you believe it… I actually scrubbed up alright! At least I’ve now got some decent pics for my business instead of the usual attempts, where I’ve filtered a photo at least 372 times despite the fact you can only see my right foot and one shoulder!”
“I cannot recommend booking on enough!”
“The whole day was so much fun from start to finish. So much laughter, good music and amazing energy, alongside some useful business conversations! Emily also provided a great workbook to think about how to use social media effectively. I now have a step-by-step plan to use when I am ready to go!”
“You were bloody brilliant.”
“I laughed, I posed, I threw my arms about, wore leopard print, got covered in feathers and generally behaved exactly as you’d expect me to. Shaun somehow managed to capture the professional businesswoman AND the slightly unhinged woman who lives inside her.”
The studio
A bright, blank-canvas warehouse studio in Creswell, near Worksop, about 30 minutes from Sheffield. Infinity wall, colour backdrops, styled lounge sets, a director's chair moment (obviously) and a podcast set that's ready to record.
1 morning here and you'll have content that doesn't all look like it was shot in the same corner of your kitchen.
