On Set · Los Angeles
We plug into your team wherever the brief needs us, executing approved creative, co-developing the production approach, or running the full campaign. One accountable production lead, a crew built for the brief, clear scope, and photo + motion planned together.
We scale the crew and production around what the brief actually requires, so your team never pays for production layers you already have covered. Your client relationship stays yours too, and we work inside whatever communication and approvals structure your team already has in place, visible when that's useful, white-label when you'd rather we weren't.
Bring the brief. We build around it.
Pre‑Pro / Casting / Crew / Locations / Studio / Photo / Video / Post / Delivery
Agencies bring us in when they need an experienced Los Angeles commercial or advertising photographer with the production support to carry the assignment beyond the camera, from location scouting and casting through capture and post-production. For larger assignments, we operate like an integrated photo and motion production team, building crew, locations and studio time around your agency's brief.
Already have part of the team? We plug in rather than rebuilding what you've already got.
One campaign, from brief to delivery.
Not just the campaign photography. What the agency needed to solve, what got handled, and what came out the other end.

Straight answers.
Can photography and motion run within the same production?+
Yes, when the brief and schedule support it. We plan both during pre-production so talent, locations, lighting, shot priorities and deliverables work from the same production plan.
Can you work white-label or under NDA?+
Yes. Let us know the confidentiality terms upfront and we'll scope the production around them.
What do you need from us to send an estimate?+
Whatever you've got. A brief, a deck, a rough shot count and a target date is enough to come back with real production questions and a path to scope the job.
How do you handle usage and licensing?+
We scope photography, motion and talent usage around the intended media, territory and term before production. Licensing assumptions and related costs are identified in the estimate so your team can approve usage before anything is booked.
What happens if the client changes the scope?+
We flag the production, schedule, delivery and licensing impact before the change is executed. Revised scope is confirmed with your team first, so a client request doesn't quietly become a budget surprise.
Are RAW or project files included?+
Confirmed in the estimate, not assumed. RAW and project files are included, excluded or available by agreement depending on how the job is scoped.
Do you use generative AI in client work?+
Only where agreed with your team in advance, and never on confidential client assets without approval. Ask us directly if this matters for a specific brief.
Have a brief, deck or rough date?
Send it over. We'll come back with the right production questions, a clear path to scope the job, and what we need to hit your date, not a generic sales deck.
