GEAR & TECH.

I’m Simon Songhurst, the photographer and creator behind Gear & Tech. I produce YouTube videos, written reviews and product content that help people understand the gear they’re considering.
The content & the people it’s for
PRODUCTS IN CONTEXT.
USEFUL DETAIL.
Gear & Tech covers the products people use to shoot, create, work and travel. The content is relevant to photographers, filmmakers, tech buyers and anyone putting together a more useful everyday setup.
The focus is on showing the product clearly: how it works, where it fits and the strengths and limitations worth knowing about. Videos and written guides give viewers practical information to support their buying decisions.
Collaboration options
CHOOSE THE FORMAT
THAT FITS THE PRODUCT.
Projects can combine formats. The deliverables, production scope, editorial approach and usage are agreed before work begins.
Setup guides & tutorials
Product-led demonstrations that explain how something works, how to set it up or how it fits with other gear.
Vertical videos & focused features
Concise videos built around a specific feature, use case or setup, with deliverables agreed for the intended channels.
Written reviews & buying guides
Written coverage built around buyers’ questions, with product context, setup details and useful links. Articles can accompany a video or form part of a wider content brief.
Product photography & content assets
Photography and supporting promotional assets where appropriate to the brief. Licensing, paid-media use and any additional usage are quoted separately.
Affiliate links & discount codes
Relevant links and agreed codes that help viewers explore a product. Affiliate relationships are disclosed and do not determine the outcome of a review.
Independent editorial reviews and commissioned promotional content serve different purposes. The format and any commercial relationship are made clear to viewers. A supplied product or paid production does not guarantee a positive review.
