FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
We often get questions about our process, what our productions include, and what deliverables you can expect. Here are the answers – clear and honest.
-
We offer professional photography with high visual quality and a clear purpose, whether for branding, editorial use, campaigns, or documentation. Our work is characterized by precise lighting, strong composition, and the ability to capture atmosphere and message – across all industries. We photograph portraits, environmental shots, products, food, and interiors, as well as reportage and documentary content. Whether you need a complete image archive for your website, campaign images for ads, or authentic press photos, we handle the entire production – from planning to final files. All photos are delivered optimized for both print and digital platforms.
-
We work with a wide range of film formats and have solid experience in:
Brand Films: Stories that convey your company's values and personality.
Commercials & Campaign Content: Tailored films for digital campaigns (Social Media, YouTube, Web).
Documentary & Corporate Storytelling: From longer documentaries to short, authentic portrait series.
Event Films: Summarizing atmosphere and highlights from conferences and launches.
Drone Cinematography: Spectacular aerial footage, even in demanding environments. Perfect for tourism, real estate, and nature-based branding.

Norway: Mountains, fjords, cities, and nature – we know the landscape.
Europe: We have filmed in Germany, Sweden, Denmark, and beyond.
Global: We have executed large projects in the Middle East, USA, and Asia. We handle all logistics and safety to ensure the journey and production run smoothly.

Post-production: Editing, color grading, sound design, licensed music, and graphics/subtitles.
Delivery: Files optimized for your specific platforms (Web, TV, Cinema, Social Media).

We work with you, not just for you.
We start with a meeting to clarify goals and style.
You approve the concept and visual direction before shooting.
During post-production, you can review drafts and provide feedback. We only deliver when you are satisfied and everything is ready for publishing. We call it "Creative Security."
-
Production time varies by project type:
Portrait/Product Photography: 2–5 business days.
Simple Campaign Film (1–2 min): 7–14 days.
Documentaries / Series: 3–6 weeks.
Drone Projects: Dependent on weather/season. We always adapt to your launch date and are accustomed to handling both tight deadlines and long-term projects.

Develop scripts or voice-overs with the right tone.
Find visual concepts that reinforce your message. You can come with a sketch or just an idea – we take it from there.
