For DFS we delivered several different sets that could adapt and compliment various product ranges while maintaining a consistent, impactful tone. It enabled us to efficiently shoot large numbers of different products in a short space of time, without compromising on quality.

For Whitbread’s set design we aimed to harness the vibrant image of summer to highlight the brand’s refreshing new range of seasonal drinks. Through a combination of clever lighting and expert retouching, we gave the final images a light, breezy summer feel – perfect cocktail weather!

Our team transformed the separate elements of the set into a cohesive scene that complimented the charming aesthetic of Whittard’s Coronation collection. The indoor set ensured consistent lighting for the garden scene, which meant we got the best from the product in record time. And all while simultaneously running an automated photography shoot for the brand, taking full advantage of Capture Studios’ versatile capabilities!

Musician, singer, author (and more) – Myleene Klass chose Capture Studios to shoot an ad for her latest book, They Don’t Teach This at School. Our teams combined practical set builds with clever use of Virtual Production to transport Myleene from the jungle to outer space, applying CGI compositing and the crucial final colour grade in post-production to bring the physical and virtual environments together seamlessly.
