Training, Technology & Theory

We are dedicated to the philosophy of lifelong learning and continuously pushing the boundaries of our craft. Our approach is shaped by the invaluable insights of award-winning photographers and Hollywood cinematographers, paired with a significant investment in both traditional photographic education and advanced editing techniques. We utilise the finest technology—from medium format cameras to industry-leading software—ensuring each image captures moments with an unmatched depth and fidelity. Our unique method integrates premium-grade equipment with creative editing processes learned from world-renowned photographers and professional colour graders working in Hollywood. This unique blend allows us to deliver photographs that are not just images, but vibrant representations that draw you back into the very essence of the moment. Our commitment to quality and attention to detail set our work apart, making every photograph a testament to our craft and a gateway to cherished memories.

Using Fujifilm cameras and we blend their colour science with colour templates bought from major movie production companies. Through this unique colour tuning process we are able to create colours with unparalleled results.

Printing

Having personally tested printing labs across the UK and found varying degrees of results. We have invested in our own printing system in order to represent the images in their truest form with no cheap papers or cheap inks.

Tonal depth 

Using Medium Format cameras and lenses, we have unmatched tones and contrast. Which means tonal depth and contrast of the images are unmatched by other forms of professional cameras.

Software & editing

There is a two part editing process because no one program handles everything perfectly. 

Images are not handled with a blanket application of presets but each shoot has its own unique colour and tonal map created. Where each image is individually edited to ensure professional quality. Thereafter the images are passed through photoshop for further colour processing.
