About the Studio

We turn ambitious ideas into visual work that lasts.

Studio 19 was founded in 2014 by Johnny Hasan with a simple obsession: build a small, senior team that treats every project like the only one on the calendar. A decade later, that principle still shapes how we work — deliberate, hands-on, and quietly relentless about the details most studios skip.

From our home base in Elk Grove, California, we partner with independent founders, established brands, and creative agencies who care about how a story is told, not just that it gets told. We are photographers, designers, and directors — but above all we are collaborators who love the difficult, tactile parts of the craft.

What We Do

Three disciplines. One creative language.

We offer a tight, opinionated set of services — each led by a senior specialist and rooted in the same aesthetic point of view. No handoffs, no juniors learning on your dime, no scope creep.

Commercial
Photography

Editorial, product, portrait, and lifestyle imagery. Studio or location, small crew, big craft.

Cinematic Video
& Motion

Short films, campaign spots, and motion design. Concept to color, produced fully in-house.

How We Work

A slow, thoughtful process — even for fast projects.

Great creative work rarely comes from a rushed brief. Our four-phase process gives every idea the space it needs, without letting a schedule slip.

Discovery

We start with a conversation, not a template. Understanding your audience, your ambition, and the constraints that matter.

Direction

Mood, references, and a written creative direction. You approve the vision before a single frame is captured.

Production

A senior team executes the shoot, design system, or edit — always with you in the loop, never overwhelming you.

Delivery

Fully licensed, format-ready assets, plus a rollout plan so the work actually lands where it needs to.

Selected Work

Recent frames from the studio.

Kind Words

What our partners say.

Studio 19 rebuilt our entire visual identity from the ground up. Nine months later we closed our Series A — investors kept telling us how "considered" the brand felt. That was Johnny's team.

Elena MarchettiFounder, Aster Goods

We have worked with big-name agencies before. None of them delivered the calm, the craft, or the imagery we got from Studio 19. Genuinely a delight from kickoff to final files.

David ReyesMarketing Director, Northline

Our launch film is the single asset that gets the most engagement across every channel. It still feels current a year later — a rare thing in this industry.
