Studio work

Recce the lane. Hold the lime. Do not invent a postcard Tartu.

Zxextra produces commercial photography and motion from Tartu. Stills and film share one plot so a campaign does not arrive as two vendors, and a lookbook does not argue with a cut in public.

The rooms on Küüni hold tabletop, a north window, and a colour desk. Clients review tethered stills and a calibrated picture in one visit. Product and grade are not two appointments.

Location days stay on the lime we recce. Bounce and a quiet key match the lane; we do not gel a brochure sunset onto a grey street. If the weather turns we wait or we rewrite the shot.

Agencies come with a media plan. We name masters for print, 1:1 and 9:16, keep a working project for the revision window, and hand an archive another team can open a year later.

Clients

“One plot. We did not wait for a second truck.”

Mari P. · Producer

“The room looks like the lane that afternoon.”

Toomas L. · Hotel brand

“A LUT and frames. I did not invent Tartu.”

Eva R. · Retoucher

North window, tabletop, and a colour-managed finishing desk at Küüni 8, Tartu. Tethered stills and a calibrated monitor in one visit so a pack shot and a film pull are decided in the same room.
