About us
Exceptional content without the complexity
Raccoon is a global photography and professional videography agency capturing moments that matter and telling your story with simplicity. We pair the world’s best creative talent with seamless project management, bringing together exceptional photography and videography expertise across over 30 countries.
A female-led global photography agency
Founded by creatives, run by creatives
Raccoon London started life as a small event photography agency, mostly servicing private clients. In 2019 the agency was taken over by photographer Helen Abraham and has since grown to be a full-service global content creation agency. The core of the creative team is based in London with around 40 photographers and videographers, but we also have a rapidly expanding international team of over 300 vetted creatives spread across 30 countries.
We are a female owned and led independent business with a focus on creating an inclusive environment for every person within our network, encouraging collaboration and development. Our photographers aren't just technically skilled—they're handpicked for their professionalism, flexibility and friendliness to ensure a positive presence at every shoot.
As a small and friendly boutique agency, we pride ourselves on being responsive and agile in managing and delivering quality output. Our core team is supported by a global network of producers, suppliers and talent, enabling us to quickly upscale to accommodate the largest of briefs while maintaining our personal touch.
