How we can help you

From a product launch to a private commission, the brief is never the same twice. These are the five things the studio is asked for most, and how each one usually runs.

  • Full coverage of the room and everything around it — keynote, candid and detail, delivered fast enough to be useful while the event is still news.

    Coverage

    • Conferences
    • Product launches
    • Award ceremonies
  • Images built to a brief and to a format, shot with the crop, the placement and the channel already decided, so nothing has to be salvaged in post.

    Deliverables

    • Campaign stills
    • Product
    • Brand libraries
  • Cars photographed with the light shaped to the body rather than the room — static, on location, or moving, depending on what the car is being asked to say.

    Formats

    • Studio
    • Location
    • Rolling and tracking
  • Interiors and architecture shot for space and light rather than for coverage, with the sequence planned around how a room is actually walked through.

    Scope

    • Interiors
    • Architecture
    • Hospitality
  • Portraits that hold up next to each other — consistent enough to sit on one page, distinct enough that nobody looks interchangeable.

    Sessions

    • Executive
    • Editorial
    • Team and crew
