Jo absolutely crushed our opener video!
From the first frame to the final moment, it hit every point we were hoping for — emotion, energy, pride, and alignment. The room was completely locked in. People were blown away.
What made it especially powerful was that the video ended in the exact space we were sitting in. Seeing our hotel and then looking around the room in real time created a moment you couldn’t script — it gave everyone chills.
It even sparked a running joke because one of our agents from South Africa looks uncannily like the person in the video, which made the experience feel even more personal and human.
Overall, this was a phenomenal piece of work and a true appreciation of what we were trying to capture. Jo didn’t just create a video — he elevated the entire experience.

Without Jo Lord and the Equality team, it’s hard to imagine Dartmouth Next's livestream meeting its visual goals. Jo skillfully integrated advanced graphics, live sets, and virtual guests into a polished, high-end production—a challenge not easily managed. His fresh designs and dynamic energy stood out, but it was his adept coordination between production, clients, and talent that kept everything on track, even with our tight deadlines.

Sincerely Liz Photography

In the creative industry, there is so much that remains uncertain. When I first picked up a camera, I was the quintessential hobbyist—without any intention of growth or the thought that this pastime could evolve into a career. I began by taking photos of friends for their social media accounts, experimenting with outdated apps to edit them. It wasn’t until I crossed paths with Jo Lord that my perspective began to shift. Jo recognized the potential I hadn’t yet discovered in myself and propelled it forward, opening my eyes to possibilities I had never considered.
His guidance was not only precise but also perfectly tailored to my needs. Jo has helped me hone my skills, build a distinctive brand, and navigate the complexities of running a full-time business. His blend of creative direction and business acumen was exactly what I needed to transition from a mere hobbyist to a full-time entrepreneur. He taught me how to market myself, create a memorable client experience, and—perhaps most importantly—grow my business while maintaining my creative integrity. Thanks to Jo, Sincerely Liz Photography has flourished, and I feel empowered to sustain that momentum.
What truly sets Jo apart is more than just his industry knowledge; it’s his remarkable ability to inspire and elevate others. He encouraged me to take risks, trust in my vision, and consistently strive for excellence. I am deeply grateful for his mentorship, and I am confident that anyone who has the opportunity to work with Jo will experience the same level of exceptional leadership and support.
Cheers to many many more.

Jo is an incredibly positive force to have on our team. He is able to complete intricate animations on tight deadlines, and has a versatile sense of style. He is just as helpful in breaking news situations as he is in last minute chat segments.

Jo is a 10/10 photographer. You'd be hard pressed to find someone with the same eye for detail, this guy knows what he's doing. It feel like you're walking onto a movie or television set with the amount of set-up and care Jo puts into his craft. He's a wizard with lighting and composition... I would absolutely recommend Jo for honestly anything but especially for moments you want to encapsulate forever.
