About Us – Ijo Arts Media Group

Ijo Arts Media Group is a media production and media strategy consulting firm based in Seattle, WA. We have the brains to craft your messaging and the brawn to make the media to deliver it. We specialize in producing film and video production, editorial and portrait photography, photo-illustration and developing media-centric strategies so that your media assets go to work for you.  We serve a wide range of clientele, but our passion is for environmental, public policy, educational, social issues and artistic themes. Our goal is to create media that connects and inspires.

The Power of Story…
At Ijo Arts Media Group we believe in the transformative power of storytelling. At the heart of every project we produce there is a strong story. In every phase of production, from script development to final edits, our goal is to highlight the most compelling aspects of your story. Whether you are a non-profit organization focused on social issues or a private sector business with a unique product or service, we will find what is exceptional about what you do. We create media for our clients that helps them connect with their audiences and inspires positive action, change and engagement.

Connecting with Values…
The folks at our firm love to apply their talents towards issues of the environment, social justice and the common welfare of our society. We stay connected to the community, volunteering, sitting on organizational boards, providing pro-bono media consults to small community-based grassroots organizations, and teaching media arts and literacy to youth. Helping the world be a better place is at the heart of our value system. We are keen on uncovering and broadcasting the intrinsic value in everything we touch and do to shape our world in positive ways.  Thus our storytelling and messaging talents not only bring value to the non-profit world, but to the private and business sectors as well.

Creative and Technical Mastery…
Powerful imagery is like a charm, an incantation that opens the soul of the viewer. We steep ourselves in this reality and live and breathe beautiful images. We have over two decades experience creating soul-stirring photography, film and video.

When we think about it we are breathless…. MAN…. We love this stuff!

But it has taken more that LOVE to get us where we are. Tens of thousands of hours committed to the technical mastery across generations of technology of silver gelatin motion picture and still film and dark room techniques, to the early years of analog and digital convergence, to full on digital media, we are incessant tinkerers. We want to know HOW to do it best so that we can be FREE to create.

A History of Excellence…
We have a long history of creating industry recognized, award-winning visual media. From multiple award-winning photojournalism projects recognized by The Society of Professional Journalists to innovate environmental filmmaking honored with a Telly award, we are constantly pushing the envelope of our storytelling abilities. We bring all of that passion, experience, insight and creativity to every project we produce.
