Editorial, documentary, and brand work. For publications, charities, agencies, and organisations telling stories honestly.
The studio takes on editorial commissions, documentary stories, and brand work where honest photography is the point. Publications wanting real reportage. Charities wanting to show what they actually do. Brands wanting founders and teams and workshops photographed as they are.
Everything is shot in the same documentary language as the wedding and portrait work. No arranged pictures, no directed moments, no styled versions of what happened. What the room looked like. What the person did. What the story was.
Editorial features for print and online. Charity and NGO work where the ask is to show what the organisation actually does rather than what it wishes it did. Founder portraits and team documentation for brands who don't want the corporate look. Ambient reportage from a workshop, a launch, an opening, or a working day. Conceptual editorial where the brief is more than coverage. Long-term documentary partnerships where the pictures build across months rather than a single day.
An email to start. A short brief helps — subject, location, deadline, and what the pictures are for. From there, a quote and a shot list within two working days. Shoots are usually solo, second shooters available for larger productions. Delivery is a considered edit rather than a firehose, with turnaround based on the brief. Rates are usage-based and honest, and the studio is happy to work within a fixed budget where one exists.
