Photoshoot Production

Ongoing

With our team of multi skilled artists and our community minded approach, Southwest Creative Studio is a powerhouse of production. Namely, the production of photoshoots! Producing a photoshoot means hiring models, makeup artists, stylists, providing food and managing the whole shoot. This is more than just pleasing a client to us. It is a chance to meet local artists, build a positive working environment, and collaborate with others through doing what we love best: being creative and building community.
