Twenty Years of Wayne Sables Project: A Journey Worth Every Step
October 2025 marks two decades of creativity, collaboration, and community. Here's to all of it — the wins, the lessons, and the remarkable people who made it real.
I'll be honest — when I first started Wayne Sables Project, I wasn't thinking about anniversaries. I was thinking about the work. The next brief, the next idea, the next problem worth solving. Twenty years later, that hunger hasn't changed. But something else has: the magnitude of what this project has become, and just how many extraordinary people have had a hand in shaping it.
October 2025. Two decades. I'm not sure whether to laugh, cry, or just sit very quietly with a good cup of tea and let it all sink in.
Let's go with all three.

Building a Creative Business in Yorkshire: Why You Don't Need to Move to London
When I tell people I run a filmmaking and photography business from Doncaster, I usually get one of two reactions: confused silence or "But wouldn't you do better in London?"
The assumption is that if you're serious about creative work, you need to be in the capital. Better clients. Bigger budgets. More opportunities. And sure, there's some truth to that. But after building Wayne Sables Project here in Yorkshire for the past several years, I've learned something important: you don't need to be in London to run a successful creative business. You just need to work differently.
