Atelier et al. is Atelier et al. is an independent studio working across photography, film, and sound to capture the built world in its best light. Formed by a collective of internationally exhibiting artists, producers, art directors, and writers, we approach every project as a work of art, bringing in the right people, skills, and perspectives to every brief.
Our name, meaning “the studio, and others,” reflects the spirit of collaboration that defines our work.
