What we do
when we're far from home.

Twelve disciplines that travel together. Some start in a camera, some in a road, all in the same field notebook.

"We don't sell services. We accompany places."
XII DISCIPLINES · ONE ARCHIVE

Each discipline below is its own notebook. Some we've been carrying since the first trip down the coast. Others showed up while we were editing a chapter at three in the morning, in a borrowed kitchen, in another country.

— Anchor disciplines
I
— Expedition storytelling

We travel the whole season with you.

The long film, the essay, the whole archive. We travel with you for a month, two, a season — wherever you are. We come back with what can be printed, projected and kept. No event coverage, no closed weekend package. This is the road.

— Cinematic brand films

One piece, filmed like a chapter.

The brands that find us don't want a commercial — they want a piece that holds up in a small cinema, on a turned-on TV, on a phone. We shoot as if it were a chapter of a larger essay, even when it isn't. It usually ends up being one.

— Automotive content

Vehicles in their real weather.

Cars don't get filmed in a white room — they get filmed where they go. Patagonia in winter. Outback with red dust. An empty salt flat at five in the afternoon. We work with the brands we already carry in our packs — Toyota, Suzuki, Camplify — and any other that understands a vehicle is told by the place it arrives at.

— Drone & aerial exploration

The frame you only see from above.

We don't fly the drone for a transition — we use it when the place asks for another altitude. Craters, coasts, long roads, scale. We carry permits where they're needed. And most of the time the strongest frame ends up being the stillest one, waiting for the wind to pass.

V
— Photography expeditions

Frames that get printed.

Photography lives separately from video — it has its own notebook. Every expedition comes back with a series of frames that can be hung, archived, sold. Some end up in the shop. Others travel to a private wall. The rule is always the same: if it can't hold up in print, it doesn't make it in.

VI
— Hospitality & destination campaigns

Small places with big narrative.

Lodges, independent hotels, tourism offices for towns that barely show up on a map. We stay a few days — no more is needed, but no less either. We come back with the piece that place always knew it deserved, that no one had filmed yet.

— We also work in
07

Creative direction

We sit with internal teams when they don't yet know what they're building. Whiteboard, script, palette calls — the notebook before the shoot.

08

Social media systems

We don't run accounts. We design the system — what goes, when, how the grid looks in six months — and hand it to whoever lives in it.

09

Visual archives

We organise what you already shot — five years of loose drives, lost keychains, an archive no one wants to open — and turn it into something you can actually pull from.

10

Brand world building

Small brands that don't yet have a voice. We work the name, the typography, the tone, the first three pieces. After that they walk alone.

11

Creative consulting

Monthly calls. For brands, photographers, other small studios. We don't sell templates — we look at what you're already doing and tell you what we'd cut.

12

Condor Club collaborations

When a project needs more hands than ours, we call the Club. Twelve members, nine countries. The network that travels with us.

— How we work

Four rules that apply to all twelve.

  1. I
    Slow before fast

    We don't take a project that can't be done with field time. Speed ruins frames.

  2. II
    One project per quarter

    We don't run several at once. Either you come in fully or you don't come in. Whoever pays for the trip pays for full attention.

  3. III
    We travel with the equipment

    We don't subcontract. When you hire Route of Condor, the camera comes, the drone, the 4×4, the notebook and the two who write.

  4. IV
    Print before post

    Every delivery has to be able to live on a wall. If it can't hold up in print, it isn't finished yet.

If you're arriving
at an interesting place,
tell us.

Write with where you are, what is happening there, and when you would need us to show up. We read every email. Most get a reply inside a week.
