Commercial photography · London

Photography directed like an editorial.

The images a business uses say more than its copy does. We shoot photography that looks considered, because it is.

Every shoot is planned and directed: location, light, styling and a shot list tied to where the images will be used. You receive finished, retouched photographs ready for your site, your channels and your campaigns.

Brief

Social-first photography for Ellie Evelyn. Portraits and location pictures, directed like an editorial.

Approach

Each shoot is planned around the photographs: location, light and a shot list. Selects are made together in a private gallery, where she marks favourites and leaves notes on each frame.

Outcome

A set of finished photographs. Social-first photography, and the pictures only.

Photography questions

  • Where do you shoot?

    Mostly on location in and around London, and in studio when the brief calls for it. We travel for the right project.

  • How many images will we receive?

    It is agreed before the shoot and depends on the brief. You choose your selects from a private gallery and we finish those.

  • Can we use the images anywhere?

    Usage is agreed up front and written into the quote, so you know exactly where the images can be used.

  • Can you film on the same day?

    Yes. Photo and video are often shot together, which keeps the look consistent and the cost down.
