Squarespace web design for Aerial Cinematographer

Ben Kenobi is an accomplished aerial cinematographer and drone operator, with a portfolio spanning some of the most visually demanding productions in television. His credits include Running Wild with Bear Grylls, You vs Wild, Hostile Planet, The Island, Penelope Keith’s Hidden Villages, and Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.

With such a high-profile body of work, Ben needed a sharp, confident website that would match the scale of his career, showcase his footage, and make it easy for producers and directors to understand his capabilities — fast.

Create a streamlined, mobile-first Squarespace website for a drone operator working across international broadcast and streaming productions. The site needed to be video-led, with immediate visual impact, while staying fast, lightweight and easy to update.
- Presenting a high volume of well-known broadcast credits without overwhelming the visitor
- Embedding video and showreel content cleanly across multiple pages
- Structuring the site so that it works equally well for documentary producers, natural history teams, and adventure specialists
- Capturing Ben’s down-to-earth, pragmatic tone — while still selling a premium skillset
We used Squarespace’s clean, responsive framework to build a lean, high-performance site that puts Ben’s work front and centre. The homepage opens with striking video content and name recognition through familiar show titles. We created custom layouts to showcase credits, technical capability, kit, and a detailed filmography — all while keeping navigation frictionless on mobile.
Typography and layout were kept calm and clear to balance the intensity of the footage. We also ensured Ben can manage updates independently — adding credits, reels, or kit updates as needed.
Ben’s new site acts as a clean, professional touchpoint for production companies, DOPs, and location managers. It reinforces his credibility, communicates his experience quickly, and makes it easy to reach out for bookings or availability checks.
The site has been well received across his network, with feedback highlighting the simplicity, visual clarity, and premium feel.
