“Working with SAZ MEDIA was a fantastic experience – Sara and her team really understood our brief and were excellent at keeping us in the loop on project updates. The final photographs are outstanding - Sara has an excellent eye for capturing the ‘warmth’ of people via a camera lens! It was also fantastic to work with creative partner that shares our values of inclusion, diversity and giving back to the community. If you’re thinking of getting in touch with SAZ MEDIA for your next photography or media project, don’t hesitate!”

Saz Media produced multiple high quality videos for The Greater Manchester Good Employment Awards. Sara lead this end to end project with ease, and really understood the brief provided. They filmed across multiple locations and captured excellent footage. The videos were edited and produced with care, with consistent updates along the way.

Thank you to Sara and the wonderful team who helped us to showcase the excellent work employers are carrying out across the city region.

“Saz Media did 3 separate videos for us to promote sustainability, b corps and the real living wage. We wanted to use a local social enterprise and I’m so glad we did. Superb videos, really made our colleagues at ease, all to affordable budget and with a smile. Very highly recommended and great to see them giving back.’

- Donald Moore, Chair, One+All

Sara captured our event so well through video, and was very responsive to our requests. She also also took some lovely stills to complement the videos.

“Sara and the team supported a conference event that I organised - they were friendly, professional and very well prepared for the days filming. They were able to turn my vague vision into 4 amazing short videos which we can use for a long time to come. The turnaround was incredibly quick which we really appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Saz Media - not only do they do a great job professionally but they also create a social impact too!”

Words can’t express how grateful I am! The beyond amazing photography & lookbook Sara from SAZ MEDIA created for Bluestone Sunshields Europe was a game changer for our business! I still get emotional thinking about it.. Sara with a camera in her hands equals MAGIC!!! But it’s not just the work SAZ MEDIA delivered. It’s also the amazing support & mood board that were generously provided before the collaboration. SAZ MEDIA is dedicated to making sure that they are on the same page with their customer. And they will go ABOVE & BEYOND to deliver what’s required! Thank you from the bottom of my heart xox

“The charity I manage needed some high quality, stunning photographs capturing the brilliant and diverse work we do to showcase our work in a variety of ways. When I contacted SazMedia and spoke to Sara, she was so patient and incredibly helpful to understand what I needed. I sent her a short brief and my word her photographs certainly met the brief and are stunning. She captured what we wanted and exceeded all expectations. Sara is so personable, professional and when she did attend the two venues to take photographs she gave more of her time to get everything right. Its evident that Sara’s passion is capturing the moment and that is what she did brilliantly. If you need an excellent and passionate photographer, I can’t recommend Sazmedia, Sara, highly enough.”

I have worked with Saz Media on a number of different projects, contracting them to do a number of different workshops and jobs for the social enterprise that I run.
These have included running workshops for young people teaching them how to work a camera and set up great shots, as well as considering presentation or work, and photographing events that we have run. For these tasks all staff were professional, approachable and amazing at engaging with and working with young people and members of the public.
I also recently commissioned Saz to produce a short marketing video linked to the social impact of our work. Over two days they came and filmed at various locations, and then I was sent an edit of the video within 48 hours. The final cut was completed within a week and I was more than impressed with the results. The work was professional and fitted the brief exactly - Rachel was constantly in touch to check my requirements and made any changes I requested.
I could not recommend Saz media enough - either as a video or photography producer, or as an organisation that runs sessions with young people.
We have already commissioned Saz to complete a number of schools workshops for us next year, and to film and photograph an upcoming event.
Thanks!!

“We hired Sara for event photography and videography and were so pleased with the results. She really took the time to understand our brief (and long list of demands!) and gave us photos and a video that surpassed all expectations. Sara was able to capture the vibe of our event perfectly, and did so with the utmost professionalism, warmth and calmness! I would highly recommend Sara and look forward to continue our working relationship on other projects.”

Workshops

“My daughter has been happier, more positive, had something to look forward to.  Able to share her passion and develop her skills. She is taking more consideration when taking a photo. Her confidence has grown too. She has enjoyed all the trips out, and made new friends too. A very positive and wonderful experience.”  

Having just completed Saz Media Summer workshops my son has been inspired to put his new found skills to the test. He is now busy working on some fantastic creations to sell at a teenage market and collectabillia event in December. I cannot thank Sara enough for having the idea, creativity and the passion she and her team have shown to the young people on the summer course. Not only have I seen an improvement in my sons skills but more importantly - and what the photos in the gallery don’t show, is the increase in confidence and self belief, that doesn’t always come easy for a lot of young people. If you are lucky enough to get the opportunity for your child to attend one of these courses grab it! Having seen her work I can also vouch that Sara is also an amazing photographer with some very creative ideas to capture any special day or event you may be having!! Sara - thank you 📷

“The SAZ MEDIA photography workshops have been a great experience and I wish it wasn’t ending. It helped me to learn how to use a camera and I discovered resilience and social skills. I have met new people with similar interests, it’s been a fantastic experience and I really recommend the workshops to others”. 

Saz Media is an amazing opportunity to get involved with. I always saw photography and film making as a hobby but now with the expericne and the joy these subjects bring me, I see these as possible career paths. If you’re logical thinker or creative thinker, these both fall into spreading messages. Saz Media also includes a bunch of unique and talented people to hang out with. In addition, Saz Media really helped towards improving my mental, physical and social health and wellbeing. If you love the creative arts this is a brillant group to join.
