What we shoot

Beauty and skincare campaigns where skin is the subject and the lighting is built to keep its texture. Jewellery and watches, which are a lighting problem before they are anything else. Fashion editorial and lookbooks, shot so the garment can move. Product and packshot work that is repeatable across a whole range. Events covered quietly, with a first selection back the same night.

Stills and motion are shot on the same day wherever the brief allows it. The lighting is already built and the cast is already there, so the second medium costs a fraction of what it costs as a separate booking, and the campaign leaves with one look across the long film, the vertical cuts and the stills.
