We’re excited to announce that we have officially merged with BrandStar!

Over the last four years, we’ve developed a reputation for delivering high-impact video content across nonprofits, sports, music, live events, auto, software, and more - working with brands like Red Nose Day, NBA, Walgreens, Stellantis, Medstar Hospitals, Deloitte, and former NFL athletes.

Through this merger we’ll continue to deliver the high-impact video content across our clients and established network - with now the added capability of launching fully-integrated marketing campaigns with our partner ecosystem of specialty agencies.

We’ll continue to operate as Lens End Media from our current office and staff.

Here's a quick and easy lighting setup where we only used three lights on the subject.

1. We used the Aputure 300d that bounced off a poster board to get a soft key light.

3. Finally our backlight was a GVM LED light.

Light placement and modifiers were essential in getting this final look on our subject. 🤗
