Perfect for startups and growing brands, our model saves you money while delivering high-impact visuals that drive sales. All you need is a mood board and a vision. We provide the talent and space to make it happen.

How it works

1. Plan Your Shoot: Create your mood board and shot list.

2. Book Your Photographer: Choose from our elite photographers (from $200/hour) and reserve a slot on their calendar, synced with our studio availability.

3. Organise Your Team: Source models, makeup artists, or stylists through your contacts or our recommended network.

4. Shoot Day: Your photographer brings expertise, gear, and lighting setups to execute your vision in our Cheltenham commercial studio studio.

5. Post-Production: Opt for your photographer’s editing (from $40/image) or use an external retoucher for cost control.

Clear communication is key. Share your mood board and requirements with your photographer ahead of time to ensure they’re prepped for success.
