We work closely with our clients to achieve the desired mood and aesthetic for their brand’s photography, considering factors such as styling, color palette, lighting, composition, and overall atmosphere.

Collaborating with our partner brand photographer, we align the visual style with the messaging of each brand. Our work involves establishing the artistic direction of the photoshoot to ensure that the concept tells a cohesive visual story and resonates with the brand's identity.

We execute all aspects of a brand photoshoot:

  • + Concepting, storyboarding, shot planning

    + Inspiration Moodboards

    + Location Scouting

    + Prop & Model Suggestions

    + Interior & Prop Styling

    + Wardrobe Planning

    + Directing photographers

    + On-set logistics

    + Post-production: shot selects, touchup, sound and video editing, if needed
