Process
How we will work together
- 01
The brief
A short call about the story or the product, where the pictures will run, the dates and the budget. You get a written quote within two days.
- 02
The scout
I visit the location or study it remotely: sun path, tides, floor plans and access. The shot list is agreed before the first frame.
- 03
The shoot
One to several days on location or in the studio, with tethered capture so you can approve frames as we go if you want to.
- 04
Edit and delivery
Selected, graded files for print and screen in five working days, named and captioned, with the usage licence attached.
What clients say
“Wren Takahashi came back from the Faroes with a cover, two spreads and a story told in pictures. The planning sheet alone told me we were in good hands.”
Ingrid SolheimPhoto editor, Northbound Quarterly“Architects are fussy about verticals and fussier about honesty. These images look like the building on a grey afternoon, and that's why the jury liked them.”
Callum MarshDirector, Hollin & Marsh Architects
