Turns a shot list into a schedule, a budget and a crew. Books locations, permits and catering, and keeps the day on time.

Producer

Small on purpose.

Scene started in 2022 as two people and a rented cyclorama. It is six now, and the rule hasn't changed: every image starts with a decision about what it has to do, and ends with the same people who made it.

Shoots campaigns and editorials, mostly on a bare set. Lights every project from scratch and stays on through the edit.

The people behind every frame.

Wardrobe, props and everything in the frame. Sources from archives and ateliers, and builds what can't be found.

Stylist

Finds the faces before the brief is finished. Scouts streets and agencies, runs the castings and briefs every model on the day.

Brief

We start with what the image has to do, not what it should look like.

Three people at a table reviewing printed images and material samples, one man in red glasses pointing at a sheet.
02

Direction

References, rules and a shot list, agreed before anyone picks up a camera.

A man in red glasses holds up a white frame while a woman inspects a black leather jacket on a clothing rack in a lit studio.
03

Production

Casting, styling, set and shoot, handled by one team under one roof.

A photographer looks through a camera on a tripod as a stylist adjusts the collar of a model in a black leather coat.
04

Delivery

Edit, grade and every format the campaign needs, from billboard to story.
