About this collection
Before the first frame is shot, we spend as much time on pre-production—mood boards and prop sourcing from our in-house collection—as we do behind the camera. When you see our work, you’re looking at a full-day process where we’ve likely tested three different lighting setups and sourced local props specifically to match your brand's mood, ensuring the final visual feels as rooted as home.
Our process isn't about rigid studio rules; it's about finding that 'mazha' energy—the moodiness, the calm, and the rain-washed clarity—in every project. Whether we are shooting a recipe film or a product launch, our team of three women moves through the space with the goal of catching the ordinary becoming extraordinary.
How We Work
- The Planning: Every shoot starts with a conversation. We discuss your brand’s ethos and create a custom mood board. We don't just copy trends; we build a visual language that fits you.
- On Set: Expect a collaborative vibe. If that means packing our entire lighting and prop kit into an auto-rickshaw to navigate a narrow lane to your location, we do it. We use Fujifilm systems and Godox lighting to maintain our signature earthy, authentic aesthetic.
- Styling: We bring our own library of vintage brassware, ceramics, and textured backdrops. If your brand needs a specific touch of 'home,' we source props that feel real, not manufactured.
We shoot, we style, and we edit with a focus on emotion. If you see us pausing for a cup of tea during a shoot, it’s not just a break—it’s how we recharge to capture that next, perfect frame. From Pune studios to Konkan farms, we are ready to travel where your story takes us.
Nayana
Hi, I’m Nayana. My team and I at 9A Pixels treat every shoot like a mini-adventure—often involving tea, laughter, and a little bit of chaos to get that perfect, authentic frame. We're based in Pune, but our hearts and aesthetic roots are firmly in Kochi.
