The Right People for your brand
Kyra has over 25 years experience in media production and business communication. Firetree Visual Media brings together media production with contemporary digital marketing to deliver emotive and impactful media for business communication.
Kyra was taught film photography from a young age by her father (Phil Monk FRPS) an award winning photographer and Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society. Kyra graduated from Goldsmith’s in 1996 with a BA First Class Honours degree in Media and Communication with a film specialism having co-produced, directed and edited short films and studied all aspects of contemporary media and studies into the influence, effect and application of film, radio, photography, television and journalism.
During the following years, Kyra worked in Soho edit suites starting work as a runner and training as an assistant editor under senior film and commercial editors to become a freelance editor. Kyra’s editorial reel includes documentaries on Damien Hirst (“Life, Death and Damien Hirst” South Bank Show – Dir. Roger Pomfrey) and UB40 (60min Documentary 25 Year History Dir. Roger Pomfrey) and music videos for a range of artists including Fun Lovin’ Criminals (Gay Night, Dir. Andy Morahan), Blue (“All Rise”, Dir. Andy Morahan), Holly Vallence (“Kiss, Kiss” MTV Award, Best Editor, “Down Boy”, Dir Tim Royes), SClub 7 (‘Never Had a Dream’, Dir. Andy Morahan), Danni Minogue (“Under Pressure” Dir. Phil Griffin), Melanie C (“Yeah”, Dir. Phil Griffin), to name a few.
Kyra left London in 2007 and moved to Market Harborough and established Firetree Photography, at the time, a ‘temporary’ business to concentrate on family commitments. Over the following years Kyra documented hundreds of weddings and photographed families and children while bringing up her three children. Having established Firetree as a successful business Kyra decided not to return to London and set up Firetree Visual Media to concentrate on business media production. Kyra has produced, directed and edited a wide range of business media for business marketing and internal communication for clients from many different business sectors.
Following the Pandemic, Kyra spent the quiet period reading for a Masters in Media Ethics and Social Change. With a comprehensive understanding of digital media practice, and producing media for social change, Kyra now splits her time between Firetree and work in the charity sector.
