We just created two simple but we think lovely product group shots for our long-term customer EKCESS (www.ekcess.net). The company, based in China and in the U.S., looks for innovative merchandising items to import them into the U.S. The company has already been operating successfully since a long time.

We regularly shoot products for them since many years, having done the first shoot in Shanghai in 2006. At this stage we would like to thank Tyler and his entire team for the on-going business! We also hope we soon get the chance to do a third catalog!

Our photographer Ray and art director Jonathan Weston created this awesome special-effect shot with water splashes for the great guys over at FUNC FACTORY (www.funcfactory.com), producer of functional golf, ski and beach sports wear. The shot was used for one of their first ad campaigns in the U.S., and was well received by their clients.

In order to create this shot, we put a huge inflatable water pool in the middle of our studio and rented special Broncolor lights to capture the fast-moving water drops in the way we wanted it! Thanks for the great cooperation!

OVS INDUSTRY, one of the most known fashion brands in Italy with more than $1 US billion in sales, recently hired us to shoot their next look book. The two-day shoot involved in total four models and the entire production, including model booking, HMA, fashion stylist and retouching was managed and produced by our in-house production team. We like to thank Cynthia and her great team for this smooth and easy production!

 

 

 

We are happy to be featured in the March edition of PHOTONEWS, one of our favorite German photography magazines which gets published since 1989 with ten editions each year. The article talks about our adventurous beginnings, explains our original business idea (helping companies to save time and money by getting photographs of their products directly out of China) and also looks at the challenges and opportunities of photo studios in Shanghai and China in general.

Feel free to read the entire article by clicking on the image below (the article is unfortunately in German only).

 

We are happy to announce that we just launched a Freelance Model Database Shanghai! If you are interested in doing modeling jobs, feel free to add yourself to our database. Should we have any appropriate job one of our producers will be contacting you with information such as shooting topic, date and time, pay, etc.

 

 

Modeling jobs are either fashion related (photo shoots for fashion catalogs, homewear, underwear, nightwear, swimwear,..) or corporate (for advertising, brochures, websites, annual reports, etc.). In general, all age groups are welcome!

And now, please feel free to add yourself to the database.

 

 

We recently finished our first little job for Briiffi Oy (www.briiffi.com), a creative agency from Finnland which approached us to create a series of high-end industrial photographs for their long-term client EFORE. The job was quite straightforward and simple: Go to one of EFORE’s factories near Shanghai, shoot for about 6-8 hours and head back to Shanghai. We got a great and detailed creative brief from the team at Briiffi Oy, thanks for that!

The shoot went very well and turned out a couple of nice, dynamic industrial shots!

We have two very special part-time team members, Keiko and Zaza, which are just too gorgeous not to get a spot in the limelight. Keiko is Jeremy's dog (fashion & beauty photographer)and Zaza is the dog of LJ (creative retoucher). Our two little friends don't come to the studio on a daily basis, but occasionally pay us a visit (if they would show up every day, our productivity would come to a halt)! Those shots were taken by photographer Jeremy himself, and he just used a simple background in our photo studio, and Shorty's shot was taken outside. He took the shots with his new Hasselblad H4D, currently probably the most advanced and high-end camera on the market. ..and Zaza

Bathstore.com is the largest specialist bathroom retailer in the U.K. with more than 166 stores nationwide. Rimagine was chosen in 2009 to photograph various kinds of bathroom products, including bathtubs, sinks, toilets, shower cabins and faucets. Making full use of both of our photographic studios, five room set shots and more than eighty packshots (=abstracts, cut-out shots) were completed in three days.

These shots are just a few examples of the room set shots which were taken to help our client to showcase their products in the best possible manner.

Thanks to all our 200+ guests who made it to our 5 Year Anniversary Party on 9. September 2009, it was a wonderful and unforgettable evening.  Our entire studio was transformed into a party space for this event, with video installations, DJ, an interactive photocall, fruit juice corner, lounge areas with chill-out videos, many drinks, great food and the most beautiful people in Shanghai.
