Behind theScenes

We photograph products both on location and in our Atlanta studio, adapting the approach to what each project requires. On-location work involves scouting, planning around available light, and bringing portable production equipment to the setting. Studio work gives us full control over lighting, set design, and every detail in the frame. Whether we are building a styled set from scratch, working with natural environments, or photographing technically demanding products that require precision lighting, the creative direction drives every decision from setup through final delivery.

Every material behaves differently under studio lighting. Reflective surfaces like glass and polished metal act as mirrors, picking up everything around them. Transparent materials require careful separation from the background to maintain their form on camera. Matte surfaces absorb light and need more directional shaping to bring out texture and dimension. We adjust our lighting approach for each material rather than applying a default setup across an entire product line.

For multi-day productions, color consistency starts with a calibrated workflow. We shoot tethered to a color calibrated monitor so color and exposure are verified in real time on set. A color reference target is shot at the beginning of each lighting setup, giving post-production a known baseline to match against. White balance is locked to the color temperature of our lighting. These steps ensure that products photographed on day one match products photographed on day three.

Set construction and styling are part of our production process. We source props, surfaces, and backgrounds based on the brand's visual identity and the audience the images are intended for. When a project calls for a professional stylist, we coordinate that as part of the production. When the scope allows, we handle styling in house. Every element in the frame is there for a reason.

During the shoot, clients review images in real time on a tethered monitor. Selects are made on set so there are no surprises in post-production. All retouching, color correction, and file formatting are handled in house. Final deliverables are organized, properly named, and provided through Armanko's secure client portal in the formats specified for the intended use.
