I design brands and shoot them
myself.
I trained as a set builder in the theatre, spent six years assisting in Paris and now run a small daylight studio by the river, where most of the work happens on one long table.
You talk to me from the first call to the last file. The person who lights the set also sets the type.
How I work
Small on purpose.
One long table.
