Our Approach

Imagery

How we choose, license, and direct the images on a site.

Why imagery is a load-bearing decision

Placeholder copy. Photos and illustrations carry more brand weight than most type choices. We treat them as a system, not a decoration.

What we look for

Placeholder copy: editorial framing, restrained colour, intentional negative space.

What we avoid

Placeholder copy: generic stock, AI-genned faces, decorative imagery that doesn't earn its place.

Sourcing

Placeholder copy on licensed libraries, custom shoots, and when each is worth it.
