Who we shoot for in Marseille

Most of our clients are in and around Marseille. Some come back every season, some once for a launch.

  • Hotels and hospitality

    Rooms, restaurants and the people who run them, shot across one or two quiet days so guests are not disturbed.

  • Tourism and regions

    Places, seasons and the people who live there, for tourist boards, guides and the agencies who brief them.

  • Product and e-commerce

    Packshots on clean white and in context, sized and named for every shop and marketplace the brand sells on.

  • Makers and manufacturing

    Workshops, machines and the hands on them, shot without stopping the line any longer than needed.

  • Portraits and teams

    Staff, founders and boards photographed in one sitting, with a matching set that can grow when people join.

  • Architecture and interiors

    Buildings and rooms shot for the architect and for the press, with corrected verticals and honest daylight.
