As continues, we’re expanding beyond DOPs and directors to showcase the photographers who capture magic in a single frame — starting with still life photographer Elkin Jaramillo , whose eye is drawn to the stories objects tell and the beauty hiding in plain sight.

From luxury handbags to bottle caps on the sidewalk, Elkin’s lens transforms the ordinary into something extraordinary. Their work spans commercial and editorial — collaborating with , , , , and .

“In my work I try to find beauty in everything... Observation and obsession with the different objects we interact with (or hope to someday) helps me work to make each image feel important”, says Elkin.

Whether capturing the scratches on a well-loved heirloom or highlighting a high-gloss object of desire, Elkin’s process is rooted in careful observation and deep appreciation for the stories objects hold.

Expect more creative voices from the Residency — each telling stories through their own visual perspective.

: Andrea Kinnerk — the cinematographer who turns limitation into language 🎞️⁠

Known for her lens work with , , , , and others, Andrea brings a rare kind of focus to every project — grounded, exacting, and full of feeling.⁠

On a recent music video for .g she worked with close friends, a limited crew, and a lot of belief. Every camera move was intentional, with transitions mapped out weeks in advance.⁠

“We refused to let anything limit us… but I think that’s where some real magic can happen.”⁠ — says Andrea.

Whether capturing the pulse of a fashion house or the emotion inside a single song, Andrea’s process is deliberate, fluid, and rooted in care.⁠

More Residents soon — each crafting their own language of light, memory, and movement.⁠

For and founder , our team created a still life series that brings skincare to life. We played with light and texture to capture the formula’s weight, motion, and glow—turning simple ingredients into a sensory experience. Cream spills, serum floats, glass reflects — each moment captured to reveal the beauty behind the science.

Everything was shot in our Residency Studio — the ideal setting to craft every detail.

Meet our new work for Eternity, captured through the lens of director Nadia Bedj .⁠

Three intimate portraits, three distinct connections to scent. In this series, our heroes share why Eternity speaks to them — not just as a fragrance, but as a feeling.

Shot on set with a textured, minimal design, the films mirror the quiet intensity of the scent and the stories behind it.🌿

As wrapped up this year, we’re reflecting on last spring—when our founder and executive producer Gaetan Rousseau walked the Croisette, immersed in the rhythm, inspiration, and chaos of the world’s most cinematic week.

“Being at Cannes reminded me why we chase stories that move people. The conversations, the films, the chance encounters. It’s all part of the magic.”

See you next year with something special.🎞️

Two presences, one light source, and a formulation born from science and skin.✨

Inside , we built a quiet world for — guided by founder ’s vision for simplicity, clarity, and care. What unfolded was a study in touch, texture, and intimacy, captured with precision and softness.

Thanks to this brilliant team who made the alchemy happen.
