ABOUT me

My name is Gaetano Martelli, and I’m a filmmaker and photographer originally from Italy, now based in Sydney, Australia. But if there’s one thing that has truly shaped who I am — both as a person and as a creator — it’s the road. Over the years, I’ve traveled across 131 countries, chasing places that felt real, untouched, alive. From remote villages to modern cities, from luxury resorts to wild landscapes, I’ve always been drawn to the same thing: atmosphere. That feeling you get when a place has a soul. When the light hits in a certain way. When silence speaks louder than words. I didn’t start this journey with a perfectly planned career path. I started it with curiosity. With the need to explore. With the desire to see more, understand more, and capture moments that most people would simply walk past. And somewhere along the way, storytelling became my language. I’ve always believed that the most powerful visuals are not just beautiful — they are intentional. They communicate something. They leave an impression. They make you feel like you’ve been there, even if you’ve never stepped foot in that place. That is exactly what I do today through The Loud Productions. My work sits between cinematic filmmaking and refined photography, created for luxury hotels, brands, destinations, and businesses that want to stand out with elegance and authenticity. I focus on crafting visuals that feel premium, timeless, and immersive — whether it’s a boutique hotel, a high-end property, a lifestyle brand, or a travel experience. What makes my approach different is not only the equipment I use or the technical side of production — it’s the perspective behind the lens. Travel teaches you how to observe. It forces you to adapt. It trains your eye to see beauty in details, in culture, in movement, in people. After 131 countries, you stop filming “things” and you start filming meaning. You start looking for the story hidden inside the frame. I’ve filmed in places where the conditions were perfect, and in places where nothing was predictable. I’ve worked in extreme heat, tropical storms, remote islands, crowded streets, and silent mountains. And that experience has built something priceless: the ability to create consistently high-quality visuals, no matter the environment. To me, luxury is not only about perfection. Luxury is about emotion, atmosphere, and taste. It’s about knowing when to keep things minimal, when to let a scene breathe, and when to focus on a single detail that tells the whole story. That’s why my productions are clean, cinematic, and carefully crafted — but never artificial. I want every video and every photo to feel like a window into a world. Something you can almost touch. Today, I’m proud to collaborate with clients who value storytelling and quality. People and brands who understand that powerful visuals are not an expense — they’re an investment. They build reputation, elevate perception, and create desire. Whether I’m filming a luxury hotel in the Pacific, a brand campaign in Sydney, or a destination experience in Europe, my goal is always the same: To create visuals that don’t just look good — they feel unforgettable. The Loud Productions is built on movement, ambition, and a deep respect for craft. And I’m only getting started.
