Our team
Jim Elli
Founder, Photographer
In 2016, I discovered a new passion for professional sports photography. It was a challenging and exciting experience to capture the moments of powerlifting competitions. I learned to appreciate the emotions of the athletes, their triumphs and struggles, and their dedication to their sport. I wanted to be the best photographer I could be and deliver high-quality images every time.
After working for 9for9 Media for three years, I decided to pursue another passion: powerlifting coaching. I realized that I could use my photography and media skills to create inspiring and engaging content for the athletes I coached. I started making documentaries and advertisements that showcased their stories and journeys.
That's how Visual Vanguard Media was born. We are a media production company that specializes in telling stories through photos and videos. Whether that's at a powerlifting competition, or inside a production studio, we are here to showcase your vision.

I was always into anything creative, before I picked up a camera and found a passion for shooting I was doing Graphics design for YouTube channels. After picking up a camera I found no better thing to shoot then the thing I devote so much of my time to already. Lifting has been a huge aspect of my life for the last 4 years and there’s endless possibilities with what you can create while shooting these memorable moments.
