Wondering who’s wearing the boss boots here at Saturao Studio? We’re handing the mic over to Shannon Serrao, our founder, maker and photo-taker, to tell her story.
WE ALL WANT MORE.
Sometimes it’s the small things (like more Marvel movies, more coffee and more weekend adventures. No? Just me?) Other times it’s the important things (like more passion, more purpose and more freedom).
But something I’ve learned along the way is that “more” looks different for each of us. And it wasn’t until I was four years deep into my dream career at the time that my version of more really became clear to me.
While earning my degree, I interned and worked in a variety of office environments within the fashion industry. Once I graduated, I nine-to-five’d it in the photography and graphic design department of an online retailer.
There I was: Immersed in fashion-focused imagery and frantically churning out quick, trendy content on repeat on the daily.
I should have been satisfied … but I wasn’t.
I’d found the right style, but not the right fit.
I knew that I was on the right path with commercial photography and design. But the execution didn’t feel elegant to me. It was too rushed and too reactive.
I wanted something more. I wanted to slow down and create stylish content with more substance. I also wanted more flexibility – both in how I worked and where I worked.
So, I decided not to settle for less. I packed my camera into my tote, said farewell to my origin story, and embarked on a collection of creative explorations.
My first years of freelancing set the foundation for more, opening the door to creative spaces and experiences I hadn’t yet entered. I gained a wealth of experience in shooting; headshots, events, interiors, products, modelling and acting portfolios, and various fashion content as well as experimenting with video projects.
By the time I launched Saturao Studio, I’d been rewarded with the rich diversity of clients and projects required to fashion my skills toward what I cared about most: Shooting, editing and designing dreamy content that truly tells a tale.
Because every brand – and collection – has a story.
Together, let’s share yours.
DO WE MATCH?
We’ll probably look great together if you’re:
Clear on your ideal audience (and can’t wait to catch their eye with heavenly imagery!)
Your brand’s biggest fan and are striving to succeed for the long-haul with creative content that contributes to your strategy.
Loving my style and can see a similar aesthetic working for your business, brand and collection.
Looking for a curated collection of polished, professional imagery that makes your style-driven brand irresistible.
Excited about a true collaboration that sees you dancing by my side as we create something special together.
We might be mismatched if:
You believe your ideal audience is *everyone*.
You’d choose making a quick buck over creating an experience that shows you truly give a f*ck about your audience.
My imagery doesn’t make you feel things and you dislike the idea of channeling the same style for your brand.
You value quantity over quality and would be happy with an abundance of mediocre images.
You struggle to articulate your style and want to hire somebody to do everything – including the thinking – for you.
YOU’RE IN GOOD COMPANY.
