Not content. Culture.
VisualMatter isn’t just creative direction. It's how brands cut through noise, spark conversations, and shape culture.
I’m David Ellis, founder of VisualMatter.
Photographer. Creative director. Visual strategist.
Working across culture, through music, sport, and fashion.
From LeBron James to Lionel Messi, Vivienne Westwood to Usain Bolt, I’ve helped shape the visual language of a generation, collaborating with brands like Nike, Adidas, Google, Netflix, BBC, and Universal Pictures.
One defining moment: overseeing a 27-stage global rollout for Adidas x Real Madrid. That campaign became the foundation for how I build scalable, culture-led storytelling today.
Now, working with the Esports World Cup across creative, spatial and visual identity, bringing culture into experience.
No fixed team. No excess. Just tailored expertise, precisely matched to the story your brand needs to tell.

“David Ellis was the first person who truly understood what our brand needed from the start. His creative direction from Ushuaïa to Hï Ibiza transformed how we presented ourselves to the world, especially within the international music community. He brings vision, clarity, and unmatched energy to everything he touches. We love working with him. His work isn’t just beautiful; it gave High Scream a visual voice we still use today.”
