Hopu Wairua Creative – Food, Fire, and Storytelling
Hopu Wairua Creative is where food meets film. Led by Māori chef and creative director Matt Burgess, we produce photography, videography, and branded content built around one thing, flavour with purpose. Every frame, sound, and edit captures the raw truth of cooking, fire, and connection.
We’ve partnered with Maldon Sea Salt, Big Green Egg, Delli, McCormick, Weber, and Gozney, creating cinematic campaigns that go beyond the plate. Our work bridges the worlds of chef and storyteller, building visuals that feel authentic, grounded, and full of life.
Services include:
• Food and lifestyle photography
• Recipe and product video production
• Brand storytelling and campaign direction
• Editing, post-production, and colour grading
• Recipe development and creative consultancy
• Social media and marketing content strategy
Charged at a per day rate, excluding VAT and expenses. Travel, ingredients, and logistics are billed separately.
This isn’t content for clicks. It’s storytelling that smells like fire.
