I’m Yaakov Frenkel - a Melbourne-based creative working at the intersection of photography, videography, design, and strategy.

What started as a lot of hobbies quickly became something bigger: building visual systems that help people, organisations, and brands tell their story properly - with clarity and intention.

Today, I work across events, sport, education, corporate, and digital media, delivering everything from high-energy coverage and cinematic highlight films to polished corporate visuals and branded content ecosystems. My work isn’t just about making things look good - it’s about making them work.
