Photography and video production

Food, drinks and product, shot in our own studio near Brussels. Full production when you need it, or a specialist team plugged into yours.

Fifteen years of tabletop work, most of it for food and drink brands and the agencies that handle them. The studio, the lighting, the effects rigs and the motion control robot are all in one building, so a project doesn't get handed between vendors halfway through.

What we shoot

Four kinds of work, and most campaigns need more than one of them.

Food and drinks: pours, splashes, melt, steam, condensation. The things that have to look edible rather than just accurate
Product: advertising-grade tabletop with set, mood and lighting built around the product

Packshots: clean, consistent, colour-accurate, at the volume a launch calendar needs

Video and motion: cinematic tabletop film, high-speed, and [motion control](/motion-control) for moves that have to repeat exactly

If a campaign needs hero stills, a fifteen-second film and eighty packshots, that's one booking and one team rather than three suppliers who've never met.

Two ways to work with us

The difference is who's running the production.

Full production

Concept through to delivery. We shape the visual direction, plan the shoot, build the sets, book the crew, shoot it and handle post. Suited to brand teams without an agency on the job, or agencies who want the whole production handled.

Plugged into your team

You run the production, we take a defined part of it. That might be the studio and the kit, the tabletop unit inside a larger shoot, or the motion control rig with an operator. We work to your director and your DOP, and we don't try to take the job over.

Most agency work runs the second way. Most direct brand work runs the first. Plenty of projects start as one and become the other.

Who's on the shoot

The studio is one person plus a network of specialists brought in for what the brief needs, so a small job stays small and a big one scales without a fixed overhead being priced into it.

Food and set stylists for texture, plating, product finish and the state a product has to be in at the moment it's shot

Producers keeping the day on schedule

DOP, gaffer and camera crew

Prop makers and art department for custom surfaces, set pieces and brand-specific builds

Special effects technicians for pouring, swirling, splashing, steam, ice, fire

Editors, colourists, sound and VFX for the final cut

How a project runs

Roughly this, condensed or expanded depending on the job.

A conversation about the brief, what the images are for, the timeline and the budget parameters
Pre-production: concept and visual direction if you need it, shot list, prop sourcing, product delivery. For motion control, a previs you can sign off before the shoot day
The shoot, with you on set if you want to be. Most clients do, and we'd rather approve setups live than by email afterwards
Post: retouching, compositing, colour, edit
Delivery in whatever formats the application needs, including GS1-compliant imagery for retail and packaging

Tell us about the project

Send what you have, even if the brief isn't finished. What you're shooting, roughly how many, what it's for and when you need it is enough to come back with a real number.
