Stills & Motion Studio
Midtown, NYC
Big lights, small crews &
an obsessive edit room
Northlight is nine photographers, editors and directors on one floor off Madison Avenue. We light food, clothing and hard objects for people who have to sell them, and we hand back every frame graded, captioned and ready to run.
Our StoryFour jobs that show the way we work: a drinks range shot in a single day, a car film that took most of a winter, a fragrance still life built in the corner of the studio, and an archive nobody had opened since 1997, scanned frame by frame
Northlight shot our spring range over two days and the retouch came back clean. They matched the glass to our pack color exactly, which nobody else had managed in four rounds of tests.

Our shops had never photographed well. Northlight rebuilt the lighting plan, shot across two nights, and we finally have a picture library the whole retail team can pull from all year.

We brought them a half-formed idea for a launch film and got back a shot list we could actually budget. The cut ran for three weeks and beat our target.

I hire a lot of crews and this is the one I recommend. They turn up with a plan, they keep the set quiet, and the selects are in the shared drive before I have got home.
