The studio

Room 407 started as a door number

It was the fourth-floor room we borrowed to shoot our first campaign — one softbox, a black wall and far too much coffee. The name stuck. The standard did too.

Today we're a small, senior team of photographers, cinematographers, editors and colourists working across Johannesburg and wherever the story lives.

We shoot editorial and campaign photography, brand films, weddings, product and live events. What holds it together is a way of working: understand the outcome, design the light, protect the atmosphere, finish properly.

Clients stay with us because the work holds up years later — long after the trend that inspired the moodboard has passed.

What we hold to

Craft over volume

We take fewer projects and give each one the attention it needs. Every frame delivered is one we'd hang on the wall.

Calm on set

Talent performs better when the room is unhurried. Our crews are quiet, prepared and impossible to rattle.

Own the whole chain

Concept, capture, retouch, grade and sound — all in-house, so nothing gets lost between hands.
