We shoot ceramics, furniture, food, people and rooms. North-facing windows, a slow pace, and files that arrive edited and ready to place on a page.
Two rooms on the fourth floor of an old sail loft, one camera stand, and a long table that has held everything from oyster plates to prototype chairs.
The studio started in 2016 doing lookbooks for a handful of Maine makers. It still works that way: small teams, unhurried days, and a shot list agreed on before anyone plugs in a light.
Design sits in the same room as the camera, so a catalogue can be photographed and typeset without handing the files to a stranger halfway through.
Half day, full day, or retainer
Clean catalogue frames on seamless, plus styled sets with linen, stone and daylight. Shot tethered so you approve the frame before we move on. Retouched files in two file sizes.
Makers, chefs, founders and crews, photographed in the place they actually work. We come to the bench or the kitchen and stay out of the way for an hour or two.
Shops, restaurants and finished builds, timed around the light rather than the calendar. Tripod, tilt-shift, and a walkthrough the week before so nothing gets moved twice.
Lookbooks, menus, labels and price lists set from the photographs we took. We prepare the files, talk to your printer, and check the proof before the run.

“We sent forty pieces over on a Tuesday and had the whole catalogue back, shot and laid out, before the spring order deadline. Nothing came back chipped, either.”
Send a note with roughly how many pieces or rooms you have and when you need the files. We reply within a working day with a date, a half or full day rate, and what to bring.
Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm. Saturday by appointment.
