Evoke imagination, and create.

The studio

“We make images that evoke imagination, and give real meaning to the saying that a single frame can hold a thousand words.”

Roman Ochelo, founder

Over time the practice moved towards long-form collections. Each one starts as a written idea, a mood and a model, and is then staged, lit and composited into a single finished frame. The subjects are often women, and the themes are deliberately heavy: mental health, faith, the climate, the tension between the body and the space it sits in.
