• We photograph the quiet edge of light
• Minimal, intentional, Canadian. We build stillness into images so brands can breathe.

• • Mission
  • Light with purpose. Space to feel. Images that last.
• • We strip noise. Instead of spectacle, we build clarity—compositions that feel inevitable. Our work is for brands that trust restraint.
  • Every frame is measured: a deliberate balance of shadow, tone, and negative space. We prioritize accessibility, safety, and ethical production in Canada.

• • History
  • From spare room to studio
• • 2017 — A spare room, one softbox, two clients, and a stubborn idea: minimal work can carry maximal meaning.
  • 2019 — We moved into a daylight space near the east end. Built our first precision scrim and custom color walls.
  • 2021 — Fully calibrated pipeline, color-managed delivery, remote client viewing, and a strong accessibility push.
  • Today — Zonter Light Studio serves Canadian brands across product, editorial, and architecture—always with quiet intent.

• • Process
  • Simple. Repeatable. Precise.
• • 1 — Listening session: we define the feeling before the frame.
  • 2 — Prelight: controlled light maps and lens tests. No guesswork.
  • 3 — Shoot: focused sets, small crews, live calibrated preview.
  • 4 — Finish: colour accuracy, grain discipline, accessible exports.

• • Accessibility
  • Canada-first compliance
• • We align with WCAG 2.2 AA and the AODA. Our physical space supports wheelchair access, step-free paths, and quiet zones.
  • On set we provide detailed call sheets, visual contrast tests, captions for motion, and low-scent policies. We honour service animals and offer flexible lighting for sensory comfort.
  • Digital delivery meets semantic structure, colour contrast, and keyboard access. Alternative text is standard. We respect prefers-reduced-motion.
