WHO ARE WE?
A photography and filmmaking production company based in NYC.
We collaborate with ad agencies, pharmaceutical
companies, and global brands to bring their visions
to life, connecting clients with their intended audiences
through innovative visual media.
From directing and photographing the biggest
stars in Hollywood, to patients living with rare
autoimmune diseases, we’re well-versed in
capturing the humanity in us all.
That’s because we specialize in people.
Art of Connection
We create a lively, comfortable, and collaborative
atmosphere on set that puts the talent at ease,
and allows them to be their most authentic
selves in front of the camera.
We have years of experience directing actors and
non-actors alike and are experts at eliciting the
proper emotion for the project or brief at hand.
The Set
Fun Sets = Stellar Visuals
That positive energy directly translates to our work in front of the camera, capturing the magic of filmmaking.
We’re people-people.
We’re committed to making the set a joyful and safe environment for our cast, crew, and clients.
Bending Light
creating the Perfect Tone
We use light, shadow, contrast, color,
and camerawork to embody the
desired tone for the production.
We work alongside our clients to
help bring their visions to life,
crafting the perfect mood for their
visual media.
Thank you
