Where Light Meets Legacy

Twelve stories carved in silver and shadow—each frame a testament to the alchemy of raw space and deliberate light.

The air hums with the quiet whir of Hasselblad shutters and the scent of aged leather from a 1950s Rolleiflex. Copper reflectors cast warm pools of light across raw concrete floors, while the distant clink of a Leica M10’s metal body against a tripod marks the rhythm of creation. This isn’t just a portfolio—it’s an archive of moments where intention met serendipity, where brands found their voice and individuals rediscovered theirs. Step into the spaces where light doesn’t just illuminate; it transforms.

Twelve projects. Four worlds. Where will your curiosity lead?

📈 Commercial

5

Where brands become legends. High-stakes product shoots, campaign imagery, and e-commerce visuals that don’t just sell—they captivate. Think 8K resolution, meticulous styling, and lighting setups that turn ordinary objects into icons. From the gleam of a Rolex Daytona to the matte finish of a limited-edition sneaker, these frames are built for conversion.

👤 Portrait

4

Faces, not just photographs. Intimate sessions where vulnerability meets craft—whether it’s a CEO’s power portrait or a couple’s love story told in 1/125th of a second. We use natural light for softness, strobes for drama, and always, always, a 85mm f/1.4 lens for that creamy bokeh that makes eyes speak.

📖 Editorial

3

Stories told in sequences. Fashion spreads, magazine features, and conceptual shoots where every frame is a chapter. The scent of fresh ink from *Vogue Italia* still lingers in the studio air after these sessions. Think moody Rembrandt lighting, unexpected angles, and narratives that unfold like a film reel.

The projects that keep us up at night—not for deadlines, but for love. Experimental film burns, darkroom alchemy, and digital composites that push boundaries. These are the frames that remind us why we fell in love with light in the first place. Grain, blur, and all.

A Decade in the Darkroom

Six defining series that shaped our vision—and the industry.

2026–2026

The Last Analog Generation

A three-year odyssey documenting vinyl collectors, film photographers, and typewriter enthusiasts. Shot entirely on medium-format film, this series became a love letter to the tactile rituals of analog culture. The scent of developer in a dimly lit darkroom, the weight of a Leica M3 in hand, the crackle of a record needle hitting wax—these were the sensory details we chased. The series was exhibited at the Tokyo International Photography Festival and later published as a limited-edition book.

2026–Present

The Darkroom Diaries

An ongoing exploration of alternative photographic processes. From the alchemy of wet plate collodion to the unpredictability of cyanotype, this series is a meditation on patience and imperfection. The darkroom smells of fixer and possibility; the results are never the same twice. Featured in *Aperture*’s ‘The New Analog’ issue and exhibited in galleries from Berlin to Buenos Aires.

2026–2026

Rebirth

A narrative-driven series exploring love, loss, and renewal. Shot in an abandoned textile factory in Łódź, Poland, the project used light and shadow to mirror the emotional journey of its subjects. The scent of rust and old fabric lingered in the air as we captured each frame. The series was turned into a limited-edition book and exhibited at Rencontres d’Arles.

2026–2026

The Invisible Hand

A campaign for Patagonia’s Worn Wear program that celebrated the stories behind well-loved gear. Shot in the wilds of Patagonia, where the wind howled and the temperature plummeted, we used infrared photography to reveal the invisible wear patterns on jackets. The campaign drove a 190% increase in program sign-ups and won a D&AD Pencil.

2026–2026

Luxury Unscripted

A 12-week global shoot for Rolex’s Oyster Perpetual line. From the precision of a Zurich watchmaker’s atelier to the neon glow of Tokyo’s streets, we captured the essence of luxury in motion. The scent of leather and metal filled the air as we used a Phase One XF IQ4 to resolve every microscopic detail. The campaign was shortlisted for a Cannes Lions and featured in *Wallpaper*.

2026

The Weight of Gold

A portrait of Olympian Simone Biles for *Time*’s ‘100 Most Influential People’ issue. Shot in a Houston gymnasium, where the scent of chalk and sweat hung thick in the air, we used a Hasselblad H6D to capture the weight of her legacy. The final image became one of *Time*’s most shared covers of the year and was exhibited at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery.

Voices That Trust Us

From global brands to private souls—these are the stories we’ve helped tell.

Rolex

A 12-week global campaign that redefined luxury storytelling for the Oyster Perpetual line. The scent of aged leather and polished metal filled our studio as we captured every microscopic detail of their watches.

Patagonia

A campaign for the Worn Wear program that celebrated the stories behind well-loved gear. Shot in the wilds of Patagonia, where the wind howled and the temperature dropped to -5°C.

Time Magazine

A cover shoot for Simone Biles that captured the weight of her legacy. The scent of chalk and sweat lingered in the Houston gymnasium as we framed every detail.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian

A portrait of master perfumer Francis Kurkdjian in his Paris atelier, where the air was thick with the aroma of ambergris and bergamot. The final image became the centerpiece of their global rebrand.

Rimowa

A campaign for their transparent luggage collection, shot in a custom-built studio with a 360-degree infinity cove. The collection sold out within 48 hours of launch.

Vogue Italia

A fashion editorial where every frame was a chapter. The scent of fresh ink from the magazine’s pages still lingers in our studio air after these sessions.

The Tools That Shape the Light

From 8x10 film to 100MP digital, these are the instruments that turn moments into masterpieces.

Phase One XF IQ4 150MP

The workhorse of our commercial shoots. With a 150MP medium-format sensor, it resolves details so fine you can see the individual threads in a cashmere sweater. The color accuracy is unparalleled—critical for luxury brands like Rolex and Rimowa.

Hasselblad H6D-400c MS

The multi-shot monster. Capable of capturing 400MP images by combining six shots into one, it’s our go-to for large-format prints and exhibitions. The tilt-shift adapter lets us control perspective like a view camera...

Mamiya 7 II

The soul of our film work. With a 6x7 format and a near-silent leaf shutter, it’s the perfect camera for documentary and street photography. We load it with Kodak Tri-X 320 for its rich grain and contrast...

Profoto Pro-10

The powerhouse. With 3,000Ws of output and a flash duration as short as 1/80,000th of a second, it freezes motion like nothing else. We use it for high-speed product photography...

Your Story, Our Light

The studio is quiet now, save for the distant hum of the fridge in the kitchen and the occasional clink of a coffee cup being set down. The scent of the darkroom lingers in the air—fixer, stop bath, the faintest hint of selenium toner. This is the space where light doesn’t just illuminate; it transforms. Where brands find their voice, individuals rediscover theirs, and moments become legacies.
