Lighting for mixed stills and motion
How we plot a day that has to yield both a hero still and usable coverage without relighting every setup.
Rain, harbour, and good pictures.
Photo and video production in Gothenburg.

Shot in Gothenburg
Gothenburg is a harbour city with soft grey light most of the year. We photograph and film seafood, rain gear, design, ships and the people who make them, from a studio on Andra Långgatan.

How a job runs
Brief
A short call, then the product on our table or a walk round your site.
A short call first, then a visit to the room or the street at the hour we would shoot, so nothing on the day is a surprise.
You get: a crew plan and a written estimate
Plan
Shot list and moodboard, with a rain plan for every outdoor day.
Shot list, call sheet, crew and kit go into one document. Must-have frames come first, extras come with a time next to them.
You get: a call sheet and a shot list
Shoot
Stills and film from the same light, in the studio or on the quay.
One crew, one light plan. The still is the rehearsal for the film, so both come out of the same set-ups.
You get: a contact sheet the same evening
Finish
Cool, clean colour that holds up in print, on web and on screens.
Grade, retouch, edit and sound happen in our own room, against the same reference stills, then versions are cut for each place they run.
You get: masters, versions and an archive
From the journal
Notes from set and from the grading desk. Every note
18 January 2026
Compositing CGI so it does not announce itself
Product renders fail when the light in the CG does not match the plate. Look-dev starts on set, not in the CGI room.

Call sheets that protect the idea
A shot list is not a wish list. It is the order of work when the weather, the talent, or the building turns.
