About
The studio
Northlight is run by photographer Iris Kane and a rotating bench of two trusted collaborators — a stylist and a retoucher we've worked with for years. We keep the client list short so every commission gets real attention: a proper pre-production call, a calm set, and edits delivered with opinions attached. The work has appeared in Kinfolk, Cereal, and the odd billboard we're still a little embarrassed to point at. We believe the best photograph in the take is rarely the loudest one.
Clients
Notes from clients
“Iris shot our entire spring campaign in a day and it still looks like nothing else in our category. Calm on set, ruthless in the edit — exactly what you want.”
“The portraits made me look like myself on a good day, which is harder than it sounds. Three of them now hang in my office.”
“We've hired Northlight for four product launches running. The files are immaculate and the turnaround has never slipped once.”
