HACON SQUARE STUDIOS is an international award-winning creative photography company based in the popular and fashionable Shoreditch neighborhood of London.
We specialize in high end fashion photography, fine art + projects, and reportage. We focus primarily on the creative aspects of developing high end images, from concept to full production. We have extensive networking abilities and connections with decades of experience at institutions from the industry.
Luxury and High End images require a discerning eye, specific expertise, and an acute feel for contemporary taste. These qualities are what brought us all together: consultants, creatives, designers, directors, set designers, producers and artists; we all share the same passion and professional expertise for creative photography.
HACON SQUARE STUDIOS combines the strengths of both a traditional creative studio and a consulting agency. Our left brain/right brain approach allows us to cover creativity, production and photography. We can seamlessly reach balance between specialization and integration, no matter the scale of the project.
Our vision for photography does not allow us to compromise on the quality of what we produce and the people with whom we work. We are highly selective about the type of job we accept and the work we produce. We represent a selective list of clients to offer them highly personalized services: from a turnkey fashion editorial to a photoreportage, from books to Fashion Weeks coverage, from designers’ interviews to an art commission.
Our team members are highly experienced and qualified artists and creators. We also work with contract workers and freelancers that we select to get a specific look and feel for each particular projects. We have a strong vision of the work we produce and always make the immediate execution a priority.
