Limitless Ideas

Tristan Dark's Creative Atelier

We have full control over the entire creative process:

  • Post-Production

Tristan Dark: from nothing to superior imagery.

In 1999 I bought an unknown mare in Florida with the purpose of creating a phenomenal stallion. No horse, in the entire planet, could satisfy my expectations back then. In 2002 that mare gave birth to what would have become the first Futurity & Derby Champion in the history of the Appaloosa Breed.

The same attitude led to the creation of the Tristan Dark Atelier. The simple idea an advertising studio cannot accept any sort of visual limit, and the desire of retaining the full control over the creative process of every image, led to the selection and training of a small group of talented craftsmen, that, over the years, built all the sets we used in our shootings. The temple of ARISE, just to quote one, was a task that required our team five months of obsessive work.

The advantages for the customers are multiple: only one team to deal with for the entire project, faster communication, instant visual proofs, dramatic reduction of costs, and the quality that only a true “obsession for perfection” can guarantee.

Tristan Dark: your ideas, from A to Z.
