ArtChick Photography is a Philadelphia-based commercial fashion photography studio led by Kristine Di Grigoli Paige. The company specializes in fashion catalogs, lookbooks, editorial photography, and e-commerce content, working with brands, designers, and creative teams to build strong visual identities.

Their work focuses heavily on the fashion and lifestyle industry, producing high-volume product photography, model portfolios, lifestyle editorials, and social media video content. With a studio in Center City Philadelphia and experience working internationally in London, ArtChick Photography provides flexible production solutions for fashion brands seeking both studio and on-location shoots.

ArtChick Photography is particularly well-suited for fashion labels, designers, and retailers who need lookbooks, catalog imagery, and editorial-style visuals to showcase their collections.

However, many modern businesses require more than fashion-focused photography. They need commercial photography combined with cinematic video production to support marketing campaigns, brand storytelling, and digital advertising strategies.

Bernardson provides a full-service commercial production approach that goes beyond fashion photography, combining cinematic video production with high-end commercial photography. Our work is designed to create impactful visual content for marketing campaigns, websites, and digital platforms.

Rather than focusing on a single niche like fashion, Bernardson works across industries to produce versatile, marketing-driven visual content that helps brands grow and stand out in competitive markets.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Bernardson compare to ArtChick Photography?

ArtChick Photography focuses primarily on fashion and e-commerce photography. Their work typically involves creating high-quality product images, fashion editorials, and styled shoots designed for online stores, lookbooks, and brand catalogs. These types of services are especially valuable for fashion brands that need visually appealing imagery to showcase clothing, accessories, and products across e-commerce platforms and social media.

Bernardson provides a broader commercial production approach that combines professional photography with cinematic video production for marketing campaigns and brand storytelling. While fashion and product photography are part of the services offered, Bernardson frequently works with businesses to create integrated visual campaigns that include both photo and video assets.

Does Bernardson work with fashion brands?

Yes. Bernardson works with fashion brands as well as businesses across multiple industries. Fashion brands often require a combination of product photography, lifestyle imagery, and promotional video content to effectively market their collections and build brand identity.

Bernardson collaborates with fashion companies to create visually compelling content that can be used for e-commerce platforms, social media marketing, advertising campaigns, and brand storytelling. This may include styled product photography, lookbook imagery, behind-the-scenes content, and promotional videos that highlight collections or brand identity.

What makes Bernardson's multi-platform approach different?

Traditional studios shoot content in one format and expect you to adapt it for different platforms. This leads to cropped Instagram posts, awkward TikTok videos, and underperforming content.

We plan multi-platform optimization from the start. We shoot vertical (9:16 for Instagram Stories/TikTok), square (1:1 for Instagram feed), and widescreen (16:9 for YouTube/LinkedIn) simultaneously during production. Each platform gets content designed specifically for its format and audience behavior, typically increasing engagement rates 40-60% compared to repurposed content.
