About
Combining my technical proficiency and creative flair, I transform clients’ concepts and visions into compelling realities.
Gethin Hooper
My career reflects both academic and practical achievement. I graduated with honours from UCL (RIBA Part 1) and Westminster University (RIBA Part 2), before gaining invaluable experience at leading architecture practices including Squire and Partners, Wilkinson Eyre, and Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners.
As an early adopter of BIM, I combined this with self-taught proficiency in construction detailing, IT systems management, and architectural visualisation, shaping a career distinguished by innovation and breadth of knowledge.
My enduring passion for visual communication and technology has been the driving force behind my transition from traditional architecture into architectural visualisation and media.
After holding senior positions in renowned studios, I refined my technical and creative skills before establishing myself as a freelancer in 2018. Collaborating with a trusted network of repeat clients, I not only built the foundations for my own freelance studio but also developed a best-practice approach to both design visualisation and freelance business. Today, my career stands as a testament to adaptability, vision, and a commitment to excellence in architectural media.
Services
Marketing stills
I can deliver distinctive and impactful CGI imagery covering both interior and exterior perspectives developed to support marketing campaigns, adding detail with atmospheric vignettes or precise product renderings. If your project design is more conceptual, I can craft evocative images to communicate a broader vision or project narrative.
Animation and Film
I can create visually compelling animated content through a cinematic approach. Compositions, transitions and pace are carefully considered to communicate atmosphere, brand, context and market. From social media teasers to fully animated presentations with lifestyle content, I will use the best photography and seamlessly integrated CGI to promote your project.
Cinemagraphs
The living photograph or a moment in time. I can deliver looping photoreal moving images to add mood and texture to your marketing package. These dynamic moving images are ideal for website backgrounds, landing pages and social media banners.
VR Walk-Through
Immersive VR walk-throughs allow clients, designers, and prospective buyers to explore full-scale environments pre-construction. I can provide a fully portable VR solution to clients (hotspot 360 tour).
Photography
I can provide professional photography as a standalone service (post construction) or as an integral part of a commissioned CGI project, bringing the latest workflows and equipment to produce truly pro-grade, high resolution imagery to support your marketing project or planning application.
Design and Concept
Drawing on extensive expertise in architectural design and interiors, I can provide bespoke interior design and FF&E services tailored to the unique requirements of each project. From artwork selection to seating design, I can enrich your design project with considered dressing elements and furniture arrangements.
