We don't capture moments.
We build them.
An Abuja studio for photography, film, and the craft of turning a brief into something worth remembering.
A studio built for people who want the story told properly.
More Than Lenses is a photography and film studio based in Abuja, working across portraits, brands, events, travel, and editorial. We started because the work we wanted to see wasn't being made — not at the level, not with the care, and not with the range.
The studio is built around one idea: a photograph or a film is an argument for how something deserves to be remembered. A wedding, a product, a founder, a city — each one has a right way to be seen. Our job is to find it, and then make it look inevitable.
We work with founders, brands, agencies, and individuals who understand that “good enough” isn't a creative direction. If you do too, we'll get along.
Craft, then speed. Intention, then output.
Every frame is the result of a decision – what to show, what to leave out, where to stand, when to press the button. We take those decisions seriously because our clients do.
That's why we plan before we shoot, light before we guess, and edit with the finished piece already in mind. The work leaves the studio when it's right, not when it's due.
Small team.
Long list of credits.
Photographers, filmmakers, editors, and producers – all in-house, all accountable to the same standard.
Four stages.
No surprises.
Brief
Listen. Ask. Understand.
We listen first, ask second, and write nothing down until we understand what you actually want. If what you want isn’t what you need, we’ll say so.
Direction
Moodboards. Shot list. Approvals.
Moodboards, shot lists, locations, talent. You approve before we shoot. Nothing gets built on a maybe.
Shoot
Tight days. Backup gear. No drama.
Our set, your brief, our standards. We run tight days with redundancy — two cameras, backup lighting, a producer who watches the clock so the director doesn’t have to.
Delivery
On time. Revisions included.
Edited, colour-graded, and delivered in the formats you need, on the day we said. Revisions are included. We don’t hide them behind extra invoices.
What the final cut
doesn't show.
Shoots, setups, post, and the occasional accident. Pulled from our archive and loaded in no particular order.
Got something worth building?
Book a free consultation. Bring a brief, a reference, a napkin sketch – we work from all three.
Occasional emails.
Good ones.
New work, new collections, the rare studio note. No marketing theatre.
