For artists, cultural institutions and the media

Portrait formats to categorize artistic work for the public and media

An artist portrait is a moving image format that presents the work, background and approach of an artistic person or group. Artists, cultural institutions and the media use it to provide insights and make artistic processes understandable.

A good artist portrait has a clear structure, comprehensible visuals and a tone that supports the content. Interviews, recordings and editing must be coordinated in such a way that the personality, working methods and themes remain comprehensible without additional explanations.

OSLO STUDIOS produces artist portraits with a structured process for research, recording, interviewing, editing and sound recording. Images and sound are created on location or in the studio and are closely adapted to the artistic and content requirements.

Typical components include briefing, shoot planning, interviews, shooting at the workplace or in the studio, image editing, sound editing and playout in the required formats for the web, social media or exhibitions.

Process
Create an artist portrait

An orderly process structures the interview, filming and editing into a coherent format. You can start at any time, for the entire project or individual steps.

  • Briefing

    The aim, area of application and desired effect of the artist portrait are defined. Style, scope and organizational framework conditions are clarified together in order to create a reliable basis.

  • Concept

    Based on the briefing, a clear approach is developed for the visual language, setting and sequence. The location, lighting and possible scenes are determined so that the artist’s personality is precisely captured.

  • Production

    The photos are taken in the studio or on location. Expression, posture and details are carefully managed to create an authentic and consistent image.

  • Post-production

    The selected images or video sequences are edited, colour-coordinated and technically optimized. The aim is a precise, clear look that consistently implements the defined visual language.

  • Finalization

    The finished material is provided in the required formats. Export, quality assurance and provision for web, print or video complete the process.
