The Studio
Brief

A shared language for every THEA image — so each frame feels warm, grounded and unmistakably ours.

Lighting reference

01

Lighting

  • — Soft, directional daylight from camera-left — north-facing window preferred.
  • — Warm fill (3200–4000K). Never cool or flat.
  • — Let shadows fall naturally; gold should glow, not glare.
Model Direction reference

Model Direction

  • — Unposed, mid-gesture: tucking hair, adjusting a collar.

Crops

  • — Hero: 4:5 portrait, jewellery in upper third.

  • — Always leave negative space for typography on the left.
Mood reference

04
