About Shout Pictures

Shout is a small, family run library that specialises in the work of the emergency services including fire, police and ambulance. We also shoot trauma and medical procedures in hospitals including surgery, day units, emergency rooms ( ER ) and midwifery. Our work is very unique due to the fact that we are allowed to travel in the emergency vehicles to incidents and work alongside the rescue crews as they perform their duties.

Over the years we have been on call and attended numerous road traffic accidents ( RTA ) involving cars, lorries, trains and even cars driven into houses and shops, fires ranging from house and industrial, explosions to terrorism incidents such as the London Docklands, when the IRA used a lorry packed full of explosives to cause untold damage. We have recorded heart attack victims being attended to by paramedics on the street, shooting victims including one incident where the doctor performed hand to heart massage by cutting open the victim's chest, on patrol with the British army and RUC in Northern Ireland. We operate alongside helicopter air ambulance crews tending to severely injured casualties and document waterbirths showing newborn infants being cuddled by their new mum and dad.
