Our policy

Phone footage

Reads as phone footage

  • Mixed color, blown-out windows, muddy shadows
  • Shot for one platform, cropped badly onto the rest
  • Nothing usable at print size

A planned shoot

Reads as a real business

  • Light, glass and grade handled by the people who edit it
  • Every frame planned for a named place before the day
  • One shoot feeds ads, site, print and the feed for weeks
