About

Tall Tales Media (TTM) is a multimedia storytelling studio specialising in documentary photography, short-form film and story-led content. Its work focuses on people, communities and issues shaping everyday life — often in places and among voices that don’t usually make it into traditional media coverage.
TTM creates visual projects ranging from mini-documentaries and photo-journalistic features to deeper explorations of grassroots initiatives and community-led change. The aim is simple: to tell authentic stories with care, curiosity and strong visual craft.

Founded by photographer and journalist Simon Falush, the company draws on nearly three decades of experience in reporting, image-making and documentary storytelling.
Tall Tales Media is built with collaboration in mind, regularly working with creatives, writers and local contributors to bring projects to life.

At its heart, TTM believes the most compelling stories are often the ones happening closest to home.
