Drop · Issue I · The Studio

Three ways to remember
the day.

A small studio, a film-first eye, and an editor's restraint. We shoot films, photograph weddings, and create vertical content for the algorithm — separately or together, in fifteen cities, fewer than we could take.

Plate II · The Studio

A small Washington DC studio, fewer commissions than we could take.

Founded in MMXIV in Washington DC. A small editorial studio by design — a tight roster of cinematographers, photographers, and editors who work the same way every time. Two cameras on the day, one editor on your file from start to finish. The studio stays small on purpose. It's how the work stays still.

We work in fifteen cities — local cinematographers and photographers on every commission, all editing back through one studio in Washington DC. Bring us in early, give us the room, and leave the storytelling to us. Cinematic film, editorial photography, vertical content for the algorithm — together or apart, never padded, never stretched, never staged.

Plate IV · Across Cities

Based in Washington DC, local crews in fifteen cities.

We keep a small roster. The cities below are where we've posted up recently — and where we'd love to shoot again. Each city has its own dedicated pages for our three services.
