Lumière Studio

Light, held
a little longer.

An editorial photography studio making unhurried, cinematic pictures of real people — weddings, fashion, portraiture, commercial campaigns and events.

The studio

We photograph the ten seconds
nobody thought to pose for.

Fourteen years, six hundred stories, one approach: arrive early, stay quiet, wait for the frame. Our daylight studio handles the controlled work — portraits, still life, campaigns — and the rest of the year we are on location, from a farmhouse in Provence to a launch floor in Singapore.

Every commission is shot by a named photographer, graded by hand, and delivered in a private gallery you keep for life.

Kind words

What clients say

They shot our wedding like it was a film they'd been waiting years to make. Two hundred frames in and I still find something I hadn't noticed.

Wedding, Amalfi Coast

The campaign ran across six markets and not one asset needed reshooting. Lumière handled casting, light and colour like it was a single decision.

I have been photographed a lot and I have never liked a portrait of myself until this one. That is the whole review.
