About Finlime
Big rooms, good daylight, and time to get it right.
Finlime is a photo and video studio on Karl-Heine-Straße, in Plagwitz by the canal. We work for galleries, publishers, orchestras, small manufacturers and the agencies who represent them.
The city has some of the best old industrial halls in Germany. We know which ones have north light, which ones echo and which ones are cold in January.
Leipzig still prints and binds books, and we photograph a lot of paper: covers, spreads, posters and the machines that make them.
Stills and film come from one crew and one colour plan, so the catalogue, the poster and the concert film all look like the same institution.
The people on set
A core crew that travels, with local help when the job needs it. Finishing stays in Leipzig.

Who we shoot for
Most jobs are within a day’s drive of Leipzig. Further afield we travel with the core crew and hire assistants locally, and travel is quoted at cost.
Hotels and hospitality
Rooms, restaurants and the people who run them, shot across one or two quiet days so guests are not disturbed.
Architecture and interiors
Buildings and rooms shot for the architect and for the press, with corrected verticals and honest daylight.
Tourism and regions
Places, seasons and the people who live there, for tourist boards, guides and the agencies who brief them.
Fashion and textiles
Lookbooks, campaign stills and short films, cast and fitted with the brand, not from a stock list.
Makers and manufacturing
Workshops, machines and the hands on them, shot without stopping the line any longer than needed.
Culture and events
Exhibitions, festivals and performances, with a fast edit for the next morning and a slower one for the archive.
