Video production, photography, drone, podcast, livestreaming and more — directed by Ian Bentley Ridgeway, who spent 20 years running commercial businesses before picking up a camera in 2019. Based in Manchester. Working with brands across the UK.
Twenty years as a commercial director and business owner — understanding margins, stakeholders, briefs, and what it actually means for a piece of content to perform — before a single frame was shot professionally.
That is not a creative backstory. It is a commercial advantage. Every brief we take on gets treated like it matters commercially, not just creatively. Because in our experience, the ones that don't perform are usually the ones where nobody asked what performance looked like before the camera turned on.
Bentley Studios Manchester. Built backwards from the brief.
A selection of video, photography, drone and production work for brands across Manchester and the UK.

Ian Bentley Ridgeway spent 20 years directing and running commercial businesses before founding Bentley Studios Manchester. Not as a creative. As an owner, a decision-maker, a person who understood budgets, margins and what it means for something to actually work in a market.
Bentley Studios was built on the conviction that the best commercial content is made by people who understand commerce. The camera is the last thing we think about. The brief is the first.
