What Stuudio does

Stuudio is a private, founder-operated creative agency and photo studio headquartered in Tartu, Estonia, founded around 2010-2012 by photographer and graphic designer Andres Jalak, who is joined by creative director and food stylist Krista Kattel as the core two-person team. The company delivers B2B visual content services to Estonian companies, with occasional international engagements, operating from a studio inside the Aparaaditehas creative hub at Kastani 42, Tartu, and additionally running a mobile studio that handles approximately 75% of work on-site at client premises across Estonia.

The service portfolio spans commercial and product photography on white or transparent backgrounds, stylized advertising photography with set/staging, food photography with styling, furniture and industrial product photography, corporate and reputation portraits, and 360-degree rotatable product images for e-commerce. Adjacent offerings include photorealistic 3D visualization and rendering for products that do not yet exist or are difficult to photograph, graphic design and catalog layout, marketing and product video production, and website/e-commerce build. Technology is built around standard professional 3D rendering packages and photo post-processing tools; the founder additionally holds Adobe Instructor certification and delivers software training.

Revenue is generated entirely on a project-by-project, quote-driven basis at hourly rates of 65-95€ for photography work and 45-65€ for 3D work, with per-product pricing of 15-20€ for low-volume white-background product shoots declining to 5-10€ at higher volumes, plus monthly time-based billing available for established recurring clients. Go-to-market is direct and referral-driven: a website plus blog serve as top-of-funnel content, while email/phone outreach plus repeat business from named long-term clients (EHL Profiles, Nordic Hemp, Rapla Metall, Arke lihatööstus/Karni, SeiCom, Ecofurniture, Krisostomus, Muru Restaurant, Tokyo Sushi) drive bottom-of-funnel acquisition. The company has no external institutional funding, no disclosed revenue, and no parent entity.
