Campaign photography for fashion brands.

ANCC Studio makes campaign photography for fashion and luxury brands worldwide, from London. The studio sets the direction, casts and produces the shoot, and finishes the images. An art director stays with the campaign from the first reference to the final retouch.

Method

A campaign begins from the creative direction deck. The deck carries the image references, the casting direction, the locations and the set, with the crop each channel will need. The photographer and crew are briefed from it, and one producer builds the shoot around it and stays with the job to delivery.

Cast and crew

Casting runs through the studio's own casting team, with model agencies across Europe, and on the street when a project calls for it.

The usage the campaign needs, meaning media, territories and term, is agreed with each agency before a model is confirmed. A campaign crew brings a director of photography, a stylist, a set designer and assistants to the photographer, hair and make-up. The crew is booked from people the studio has worked with for years.

The shoot

Campaigns are shot in London studios chosen for each production, or on location when the cast or the brand needs it.

Set design is part of the production, made to the references in the deck. Kit and lighting are chosen with the photographer who will use them. An art director is on set and checks each frame against the direction as the day runs.

Stills, film and the season

The campaign film can be briefed with the stills and share the production, with one cast and one set.

One production can also serve the store, the lookbook and social content from a single shot list. Each channel takes its own formats from the day.

The finish

Selects and approvals run on Creative Constant, the studio's own review platform.

Stills are finished in-house, with retouchers the studio has worked with for years. The art director signs off the retouch against the deck, and a hero campaign image and a weekly social cut are finished to one standard.
