Multimedia storyteller
Lewis Isaacs is a video producer, storyteller and journalist. He is passionate about sharing stories with authenticity.
He can shoot, edit and produce videos, fly a drone and make the occasional pretty motion graphic. If there’s something he can’t do, chances are he knows someone who can. His media career began at ACP Magazines writing hundreds of thousands of words about sport, cars and travel for Auto Action, Motor, Rugby League Week and Top Gear.
He switched focus to covering news and current affairs as a digital producer while developing skills in video. His work has been featured by The Guardian, SBS, The Sydney Morning Herald, ABC, Fox Sports, the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Semi Permanent, the Australian Network for Art and Technology, Closer Productions, Doc Society, UTS and more.
He likes guitars, old cameras, finishing triathlons in very modest times and drinking tea. Lots of tea.
He lives on Gadigal Country and pays respect to Elders past and present.
