The beginnings

The Nineties to Now

In its earliest days, Capture was born out of necessity.

Roll it back to the nineties. Our founder, Abbie Enock, was making her way as an international photojournalist, having previously been a senior correspondent and sub-editor across numerous regional and national publications. Her media, like yours, was valuable. But she was frustrated at the lack of solutions. And with nowhere to effectively manage her media, it was being held back, unable to fulfil its true potential

Abbie needed a platform that worked to her standards, so she built one herself. And when others in the industry caught wind, they wanted in, too. Abbie set up the commercial software company, Capture Ltd, in the late 1990s. Six months after its launch in 2000, the platform became a UK industry leader. And we’ve been at the top of our game ever since.

Management team

We’re here now because of Abbie. Not just because Capture was her brainchild. But because she drives our progress from the inside. She makes sure that the team is a collective, rather than a group of individuals, and this constant drive for collaboration breeds success. Abbie’s leadership qualities are matched by her innate passion for content that remains as fiery as Capture’s earliest days. Thanks to Abbie we’re constantly developing, but always with her original goals in mind.

Peter’s ambitions for Capture make him the perfect fit as the driver behind our Sales and Marketing team. Arriving from SmartFrame in early 2022, he has spent the last two decades working in commercial roles, and over the years has gained valuable experience in the media and tech space. Now, as our Commercial Director, Peter’s technical and industry knowledge are vital to his work, helping him develop crucial relationships with both current and prospective customers. His role will be crucial as Capture continues growing as industry leaders in visual media management.

Marina is a qualified chartered accountant. She holds more than 30 years of experience in accountancy and has spent the majority of this time at the heart of Capture’s finances. As such, she knows the company like few others, and shares the passion of the wider team for visual media while keeping our financial operations running as smoothly as our platform. She is equally invaluable in her role of testing, demonstrating and training customers on our financial and royalty systems.

Stronger together

The power of partnerships.

Media. Tech. Ideas. They’re all there to be shared. There’s power in partnership, and it’s something that we hold in high regard here at Capture. Which is why we team up with the best and brightest across all providers. Software vendors. Strategists. Service providers. They’re what give us the edge. And we give them the edge, too.

SmartFrame

SmartFrame is an innovative technology that takes online image publication and display to a new level.

It replaces traditional formats such as JPEG with an interactive alternative, one that’s streamed directly from our servers.

SmartFrame images, or simply ‘SmartFrames’, appear like normal images to viewers, but they incorporate a range of additional features to enhance their appearance and security. Furthermore, because these images are streamed rather than permanently embedded into a website, you’re able to discover far more about their usage and user interaction than you would from conventionally uploaded images.

SmartFrame is a complete system for hosting and processing images, which includes an online Admin Panel and various tools for webmasters and developers. You can embed SmartFrames into an existing website, or integrate them into your web server and share them online in various ways. You can even monetize images through in-image advertising.

We believe SmartFrame is the future of online image display.
