Our why

We believe in the power of emotionally driven imagery to move audiences more deeply, elevating the impact of creative agencies and their brands.

We’re on a mission to empower forward-thinking agencies and marketers to create visually captivating imagery that also resonates with their target audience on the emotional level necessary to truly inspire action and help them stand out in a crowded and competitive marketplace.

The Right & Left Approach

We add value by helping agencies and brands create more effective content, using our award-winning Right & Left approach to deliver greater campaign impact.

Research shows that 80% of consumer buying decisions are emotionally driven and not rational. The Right & Left Creative ethos embodies both of these mental processes and prioritises creativity, intuition and emotional processes, commonly associated with the right side of the brain.

As well as delivering work that is distinctive and fresh, we can offer neuroscience testing alongside our process, supercharging it by also being emotionally validated and optimised for a brand’s attributes and audience before launch.

A true right-brain / left-brain solution!

CO-FOUNDER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR
"With all this talk of AI, you’re probably wondering if all the imagery on our site is just that. You’d be right! As a new venture, our recent work is still embargoed and we can no longer showcase the 30 years of award-winning work we produced through SB. The stills imagery here, therefore, is an expression of what impactful means to us, and the type of creative briefs we want to attract. These pieces are the culmination of many hours of expressive prompting, critiquing, retouching and grading to arrive at pieces that make us feel how we want our clients’ audiences to feel and that would be creatively exciting for our Photography, CGI & Post artists to bring to life."

Who

Right & Left Creative is the brainchild of the former creative and business leadership of Saddington Baynes:

As creative directors, producers and digital artists, they have been adding value to agencies and brands worldwide for over 30 years; conceiving and creating content that helps businesses grow by drawing on their extensive knowledge of photography, CGI, retouching/post and neuroscience, all supported by their lifelong loves of design, mathematics and art.

Delving beneath the brief to make the work highly impactful and emotionally engaging, they combine their Right & Left approach with sustainable virtual production, an unwavering eye for detail and quality, alongside clear processes and attentive client service.

Maria-Luiza Popescu,
Former European Digital Manager, Honda Motor Europe

"I have worked with James and his artists on a number of occasions over the past 14 years that I've been with Syneos Health. He is extremely creative and talented and has always worked seamlessly with my creative teams. He has a knack for knowing just what my creative team needs and then going above and beyond. He delivers projects on time and on budget and always brings an extra level of creative panache to any project. It's always a pleasure to work with James."

Hannah Wolfert,
Senior Content Producer, Syneos Health
"Chris is one in a million. I have never met anyone in my working career who is so committed. The CEO, who will do anything and everything for the person or project. Nothing is too much. The creative ideas never stop flowing and Chris turns them into works of art. The king of CGI! Chris makes working with him fun and easy. And with the professional Chris comes the personality to turn any project into a real friendship."

Boyd Sargeant,Former Digital Marketing Manager, Europe
"I have had the great pleasure of working with James for many years when I was Head of Production at GSW. He always delivers amazing work whatever the scale and demanding schedule with any given project. James is a wonderful collaborator and always raises the bar on any given project. His highly creative skills are matched with his technical expertise, and together with his passion and eagerness the results he produces are always breathtaking.

Jon Parkinson,
Former Head of Production, GSW, NY

"I have worked with Chris on numerous occasions through the years for CGI needs for my Creatives at different agencies. He is always a pleasure to work with, being knowledgeable, personable and he always provides superior work and on schedule. We always manage to work within my budget. There is no one else in the CGI world I would rather work with. Chris is it!!!"

Christiane Anctil,
Senior Freelance Producer


“When I’m sitting with James it’s like seeing what you have in your mind miraculously appear without any real instruction. He has a seamless approach and a complete understanding of colour and perspective. His use of colour is more like the tints or glazes you might find in a Turner or Rembrandt. After an initial play with the usual contrasts and colour balance, James instinctively continues to make small adjustments. He is a perfectionist, and treats every image as if it was his own, but always retains the individual aesthetics of the photographer’s work.”

Peter Beavis,
Photographer
“Chris is a superb craftsman, and a very nice guy to work with. He always goes the extra mile which makes the difference between good and great. And that's exactly the stuff he's built his reputation on. The art director's secret weapon.”
