Behind the camera

One photographer, every shoot

Shot fashion in Milan for nine years before opening Lumen Room in 2019 in an old printing works. Believes in one good light rather than five average ones.

Clients

After the shoot

  • Twenty-two headshots before lunch, and every one of them looks like the same afternoon. Our careers page finally matches.

  • The quote from the builder was the invoice. No surprise line for the painted wall.

  • Nil told me the light was wrong for my coat and moved us to the window. That frame is now the cover of the catalogue.

Questions

Before you book

Can I hire the studio without a photographer?

Yes — dry hire is 1.900 ₺ an hour (minimum two hours) including strobes and the cyc. Call us to book it; the builder is for shoots with Nil.

When do we get the images?

A web gallery to choose from the next day, retouched images seven working days after you choose — or two with 48-hour delivery.

Who owns the photos?

You get an unlimited licence for your own channels and ads. We keep the copyright and ask before using any frame in our portfolio.

Can I bring my dog?

Please do. Tell us in the brief so we can tape down the cables and have water ready.
