Photography, cinematography and beginning-to-end filmmaking

Pulkka Shed Ltd is a small Edinburgh company founded in 2004 with clients in UK and Europe. Some of the work we most love is made for and about art and artists, crafts and charities.

In addition to our own productions and commissions, we do editing, cinematography, photography and design. There’s been archive projects and special commissions for events  and festivals. We also do performance and event coverage. Plays, concerts, shows, seminars and live talks. Instructional videos, interactive films and video walls for galleries and shared spaces.

The creative craft of filmmaking has always been at the core of the company: directing, cinematography services, editing and any project management, location hunting and design pieces that are needed to make a project happen. We are interested in making good quality projects where people are treated fairly and kindly on both sides of the camera.
