ONE STUDIO
TWO STREAMS
SAME HEART
Storytelling does more than entertain — it heals, connects, empowers, and sparks real change.
Operating on Darkinjung Land, blending purpose with artistry, we tell stories that matter through film and photography.
Whether collaborating with communities to celebrate culture or helping businesses show up with clarity and heart, our work begins in the same place — with people.
Meet the founders
Luke Gemmill is a proud Palawa man and cultural storyteller, with a background in documentary filmmaking, narrative-driven wedding films, and community-led projects. Luke brings deep care, cultural insight, and creative direction to every production — ensuring stories are told with truth and respect.
Scott Lahiff is a seasoned photographer and storyteller with a sharp eye for emotion and authenticity. His work captures connection in its most natural form — from intimate portraits to bold brand visuals — and is driven by a passion for people and place.
Together, we created Ripple Narratives to honour where we come from and shape where we’re headed.
