Photography and Video Production
for Walking Holiday Brands
Walking Holidays
Walking holidays sell on feeling. The morning mist lifting off a mountain pass. The satisfaction on a walker's face at the end of a long day. The quiet of a village that hasn't changed in a hundred years. These are the moments that make someone close a browser tab and pick up the phone to book.
At The Production Dept., we create content that captures those moments — honestly, beautifully, and in a way that works hard across every platform your marketing team uses. We walk the routes, stay in the accommodation, and shoot alongside your guests. We understand this world because we've spent real time in it.
Photography
From trail landscapes and destination portraits to accommodation details and authentic guest moments, we deliver a full library of images built for the long term. Everything is shot with your seasonal campaigns, brochures, website, and social channels in mind — so you leave each shoot with assets that work across all of them.
Videography
Short-form reels for Instagram, longer destination films for your website, testimonial-style guest stories, route previews — we produce video content that moves people from browsing to booking. We shoot efficiently on location, keeping our footprint small and our output high.
Full Production Management
We handle everything from pre-production planning and route logistics to permits, crew, equipment, and post-production delivery. Your team briefs us, and we take it from there. No chasing. No gaps. No surprises on invoice day.
Social Media Content Strategy
We work with your marketing team to plan content that serves your calendar — peak booking periods, new route launches, shoulder season campaigns. If it would help, take a look at our guide to [winning on Instagram as a walking holiday brand.
We've Done This Before
We've worked with some of the UK's most respected names in walking and slow travel — spending weeks on the ground in Portugal, Spain, Italy, and across the UK to create content that genuinely reflects the experience of being there.
Our shoots aren't studio productions with models in pristine kit. They're real trips, with real walkers, in real conditions. That authenticity shows in the final content — and your customers notice.
Our clients have included Inntravel and Great Rail Journeys, and we've delivered content from the Douro Valley to the Algarve coast, the Dolomites to the Yorkshire Dales.
Why Walking Holiday Brands Choose Us
-
We understand the product.
We've walked the routes, eaten the dinners, and navigated the logistics. That context shapes every shot we take. We know what matters to your customers because we've experienced it ourselves.
-
We're built for this kind of shoot.
Small, agile, and experienced — our teams are designed for multi-day location work. We don't need a fleet of vehicles and a catering truck. We move efficiently and adapt when the weather, route, or schedule changes.
-
We deliver content that lasts.
We shoot with longevity in mind. The imagery and video we produce for walking holiday brands is designed to work across multiple seasons and campaigns — not just the one trip it was shot on.
-
We speak your language.
We understand booking windows, seasonal campaigns, brochure deadlines, and the pressure of making a new route look as good as an established one. We work with your marketing calendar, not against it.
