How to deliver a fashion marketing strategy.


At RANCH Studio we like to think of ourselves as more than just an e-commerce photography studio: we’re partners in storytelling for brands that want to make an impact.


Our mission is to attract clients who value creative vision in launching their campaigns. And if it’s speed they need we’re here for it (without compromising on quality!)


With a website designed to inform and inspire, optimised to speak directly to the unique needs of fashion-forward and fast-moving brands, we aim to offer a seamless experience from the first click.


For clients like  Simian Saboteur ,  who needed to move quickly, the fact that they could easily navigate our site, get a clear idea of cost, time frames and style before they even spoke to us, was invaluable. Who wants to waste time meeting photographers and studios who are incompatible with budgets, personalities and styles?

  • On the day of the shoot, we met face-to-face with the client, discussing how we could authentically capture the brand’s message and personality.


  • Our creative team set the stage, carefully planning the setup to highlight Simian Saboteur’s products in a way that felt cohesive to the brands aesthetics.


  • We used lighting techniques and diverse backgrounds to bring out textures, colours, and key design details; while also making sure the images would look stunning across both mobile and desktop screens.

Capturing Brand Message & Personality


We understand that every brand has its unique identity, and our goal is to capture that essence in every image. These guys wanted photos that felt fresh, vibrant, and true to their brand voice, which is where our approach to collaborative planning really paid off. The brand message shone through in each shot, from individual product close-ups to full-body model shots, where our creative team balanced professional polish with an authentic, approachable feel.


Selection & Fast, Seamless Integration


After the shoot, we shared a curated gallery with the client team through Capture One (link @Dawn Webb ) for remote selection. The client could quickly select their favourites for immediate use on their e-commerce platform and social media. This streamlined process makes it easy to keep things moving quickly and with zero hassle.


Turnaround: From First Email to Live Launch in 1 week


From that first email exchange to getting the final photographs on their website, we completed the entire project in just 5 working days. This fast-paced workflow allowed our clients to stay on track with their campaign schedule and get new products in front of their customers almost immediately.


We’re thrilled to have been part of this journey. Now, let’s help more brands capture and share their unique stories through quality, high-impact photography… are you next?

With a decade of experience in marketing fostering services and a commitment to social value enterprises, we set out to create something truly unique, a campaign shaped by the voices of children in care. Here’s how we turned a vision to produce an authentic and truly original campaign into reality. Co-Producing with Young People and Essex County Council At the heart of this project was our commitment to ensuring that children in care had a direct role in shaping the message. Through close collaboration with Essex County Council’s Fostering Services, we worked under safeguarding guidelines to engage young people in a meaningful and safe way. Their insights and lived experiences were invaluable in creating an authentic campaign that truly reflects their journey. The Vision: A Film Inspired by ‘Real Experiences’ Working with the Essex Fostering team, we developed a compelling short film that aims to resonate with potential foster carers and the wider community. The film captures the emotional transition of a child entering foster care, from initial anxiety to a newfound sense of belonging. We’re so proud of the finished product, and even more so of the children involved in the process. The Creative Process To ensure authenticity, we followed a structured approach: Workshops with Children in Care : Gathering real life experiences and emotions to inform the narrative. Script Development : Transforming their insights into a powerful and relatable story. Storyboarding and Direction : Designing visuals that capture the highs and lows of a foster care journey. Production : Bringing the vision to life with a high-quality, emotionally compelling film. Final Delivery – The campaign is now live, ready to be shared across various platforms. A Journey Told Through 'Sarah' The film follows the journey of 'Sarah,' a young girl entering foster care. Her emotions evolve throughout the story: Fear and Uncertainty : Feeling like an outsider in a new home. Hesitation and Adjustment : Small gestures, like having her name on a bedroom door, helping her settle. Belonging and Acceptance : Realising she is truly part of a family. A New Chapter : Reflecting on the significance of her foster family's support. Why This Matters This campaign isn’t just about storytelling; it’s about representation. By co-producing this film with young people who have experienced care, we’ve created something that is not only impactful but also deeply personal. Their voices shaped the narrative, making it an honest and heartfelt portrayal of fostering. What’s Next? With the campaign now live, we encourage everyone to share this film and help spread awareness about the importance of fostering. Essex County Council’s Fostering Services continues to seek compassionate individuals who can make a difference in a child’s life. We are incredibly proud of this collaboration and grateful to the young people who helped bring this project to life. Their courage and openness have made this campaign truly special.
