The leading organisations won’t be the loudest.

They’ll be the ones that show up the most human.

Our Story.


We believe in story - the kind that makes people visible.

Stories connect us. They remind us who we are, where we’ve been, and where we’re going. They make businesses more than just names and logos - they make them human.

Humanthread began from our own reset.

After 16 years in France, everything changed. Work, home, routine… gone. What stayed was each other, a camera, and the hope and empathy we found in people around us. That experience made our work simple and steady: people first, always.

As we rebuilt, photography became our way of listening, and story became our way of connecting. It grew into Humanthread, a practice of noticing real moments and telling them honestly..

We’re a husband-and-wife team. We’ve seen how clear, truthful stories carry organisations through change, build trust, and create belonging.

Each month, we step into your rhythm. We listen. We observe. We photograph. Together, we weave a thread of story over time, a living record of people, culture, and purpose.

Humanthread isn’t about marketing tricks or glossy campaigns.

It’s about truth, presence and connection - making the good work, and the good people who do it, visible.
