Photo and video production in our own studio
LUX Production shoots photo and video with the same crew on the same set in its own 80 m² (8 × 10 metre) studio in Kağıthane, Istanbul. Concept, set design, lighting, shooting, editing and retouching all stay with one team. The studio is not rented in from outside and is not rebuilt for every shoot. We have been doing this since 2005.
Two shooting areas, one team
The studio is an 8 × 10 metre loft with step-free access and an open kitchen. It has two separate shooting areas: a 4 × 10 metre paper backdrop area and a 3 × 5 metre two-sided cove with 4 metres of shooting depth.
Because the two areas sit side by side, a photo set and a video set can run on the same day. When needed, we draw a black blackout curtain between them to stop light spill. Products, props and equipment go straight onto the set through the step-free entrance. The make-up table, changing cabin and rest area for models and crew are on the same floor.
The studio is at Meydan Sokak No: 8B, Kağıthane, about five minutes from Levent metro station.
Light once, deliver both
When a production hires the photo crew from one place and the video crew from another, the same product gets lit twice and booked on two separate days. With us, both work in the same studio under the same art direction.
One brief, one schedule
The shot list and the video scenes are planned in the same brief. We complete in one shoot day the scope other productions spread over two or three days.
Same set, same colour
Campaign photos, e-commerce images and social media video come from the same set and the same lighting, so their colours and visual language match.
Editing and retouching in-house
After the shoot, photo retouching and video editing are done by the same team. Files are not handed over to another company.
