Booth — Editorial Photo Booth for Brand Events & Fashion-Week Parties
A booth that doesn't look like a booth.
A fixed photography station at the entry of your event. We build the set, light the spot, hold the room — guests pass through, step in, sit for a portrait.
Editorial-quality images made in one curated corner of the venue: considered light, considered composition, the kind of portrait that holds up the next morning.
- Fashion-week & PR evenings
- Brand activations / pop-ups
- Album launches, gallery openings

Custom — Private Editorial Portrait Commissions
Private portrait commissions — half a day, a full day, sometimes a weekend. For anyone who wants a record of the room they live in.
Write a few paragraphs about what you're imagining. We answer within forty-eight hours and ask for a long call. References, location, light — settled before the day so the day stays loose. Long lenses, slow shutters, very few people in the room. You leave with a small printed folio and a private archive of the high-resolution scans.

Studio — About Lethe Studio
"Lethe was named for the river of forgetfulness. The pictures are the small refusal."
I show up early and watch. The room does most of the work; whoever's in it does the rest. My job is to keep the camera ready and try not to be in the way.
