BY APPOINTMENT · WESTLAKE VILLAGE STUDIO

Most studios play credit games — per-image licensing, retouching upcharges, and usage limits buried in a contract. Ours doesn't. You book the day, we shoot the brief, you keep the files.
Book by day or half-day. Retouching, keeper rights, and multi-aspect delivery included.
Every image and clip ships with unlimited paid, organic, marketplace, and print usage.
Monday brief, Friday delivery on standard product and portrait work — LA production speed.
1:1, 4:5, 9:16, and 16:9 delivered ready to drop into Meta, TikTok, and YouTube.
Shot at the studio in Westlake Village or on-location across Greater LA — one team, one bill.
Every shoot can pipe directly into a CRTE Agency paid or organic program. Zero handoff friction.
Ecommerce-ready product photography — pure white, styled sets, and lifestyle setups shot in-studio.

TikTok-native and Reels-native UGC videos, scripted and produced in-studio.

The studio is in Westlake Village, about twenty minutes from the west end of the San Fernando Valley, and it operates by appointment only. Booking a slot guarantees the floor, the lighting and the crew are yours for the day rather than shared with another production.
