WE ARE A VISUAL AGENCY SPECIALISING IN PHOTOGRAPHY AND CGI FOR THE ADVERTISING INDUSTRY

OUR APPROACH

As a team of visual artists skilled at utilising a diverse range of creative tools, our approach is centered on crafting custom solutions for each challenge, rather than relying on standardised formulas. We view every project as an opportunity to explore and shape a distinct visual identity, leveraging all mediums—including photography, CGI, and live action video—to their fullest potential.

Photography / Directing

“Photos or it didn’t happen” Well, sometimes, the best way to tell a story is with a camera. Circo Visual is a company founded by photographers, so it is in its DNA. We work with our inhouse photographers, because we believe the magic starts from the beginning of a project. And our specialty is not a certain type of photography, but rather to choose a shooting style best suited for the idea.

CGI / 3D

Sometimes you just cannot photograph something. Or maybe it looks better in CGI. Or, even better, you mix the photos with digitally created images. Actually, these are the best things, where magic happens. That is why we have extensive CGI and digital imaging capabilities, either in-house people or collaborators.

AI

The new kid on the block. But with a lot of stamina and energy. We think Al is just another tool, albeit a powerful one, in our toolbox. It will not replace creativity and ideas, but it can help bring them to life. And by combining Al with the rest of the visual tools, we make it more customisable and useful. Actually, we have a name for this method we developed here - Al Module Flow.

Motion

Nowadays most of the campaigns need motion images. Is just natural. We want to see life. From simpler cinemagraphs to more complicated stories. Filmed or digitally created. Because, as with everything in the visual field, the magic starts when you mix things. Circo Visual has extensive capabilities to make this happen.

Production

Well, all the others are spectacular, but you need something to organize and start them. The base. Because if you start with solid planning everything goes smooth afterwards. We work with very experienced producers and crews so that we can concentrate on creating visual craft. As it should be.

Post-production

This is where all the creation tools are bolted together and polished. Where you make them sing like an orchestra. This is where you start to see that what you planned for creating an image works. And sometimes you need just color corrections. Or sometimes you need to mix photo with photo with photo with CGI with Al and then again some CGI and maybe even some digital painting.
