About us

We listen to our clients, we create great things together, we deliver amazing content.

Working as an extension to your in-house team we can build a bespoke package to suit your projects needs. Frills if you need them, no frills if you don’t.

Areas of expertise:

Creativity, passion and experience are at the forefront of our photographic philosophy. We also insist on working with the best equipment in the industry to give our clients the perfect combination of talent and tech that means our output is always at the top of its game. We specialise in fashion, lifestyle, cut outs and interiors with the capacity to shoot in our studio or on location.
We provide styling alongside all creative photography projects as standard so that we can ensure that every detail is refined to perfection in all that we do. With a flexible working model, we can also provide add-on services for Art Direction, conceptual development, set design, props buying and wardrobe sourcing.
Our flexible approach allows us to build the right suite of skills and talent for the job, be that stand-alone content for paid advertising or capturing social content to partner with your stills campaign. Shooting on location or in the studio with a wide range or pre-production and post-production services we’ve got what it takes to make your video content work harder cross-platform and perform better.
For projects that need that little bit extra, we offer bespoke studio set build and design services. It could be as simple as a painted back wall for a stills shoot or as epic as multiple sets for a range of fitted kitchens, you tell us what you need and we can make it happen. We also have standing sets in place that are ready to go as well as a good stock of simple backgrounds and roomset features in our store.
Production requirements come in many forms, be that the logistics of sample tracking, working through shoot concepts and refining a shoot brief, scouting for a location or simply ensuring the crew are all fed at lunch time. Whatever your shoot production needs are, we're here to help take some of the load off and make the process as simple as possible.
As well as our core services, our extended services include:
• Post production & re-touching
• Creative concept development
• Set design visualisation
• Hair and Make-up
• Location and model sourcing
• Sample storage
