Jewellery and watches: We light and retouch high jewellery for houses such as Bvlgari and Piaget, holding stone, metal and movement in perfect detail.

Why Choose ASTUDIO?

ASTUDIO runs the full still-image pipeline in-house: concept, casting, styling, lighting, shooting and retouching under one roof. This is production-house muscle applied to the single frame, the same discipline behind our video production and wider production services.

For jewellery, fragrance, beauty, fashion and hospitality clients, we build the mood boards, secure the locations and direct the shoot so the final image carries the house at its exact standard. See our still-life and hospitality photography.
