POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

JANUARY 2023 — JULY 2026

3 years and 6 months.

More than 400 posts.
Countless hours.
Weeks and months of work, doubts, late nights, long conversations, and incredible encounters along the way.

Today, we are 10000.

And honestly, we still find it hard to believe.

10000 is more than a number.
It is a milestone.
It is proof that something we started with passion, obsession, and a very clear vision is slowly finding its place.

But none of this exists without you.

You are the reason Azer Studios is still standing.
You are the reason we keep pushing.
You are the reason we are starting to make a name for ourselves in this industry.
And in a time where AI is changing everything, you are the reason we still believe that craft, taste, ideas, and community matter more than ever.

Together, we have built more than an audience.
We have built a community that supports, shares, helps, challenges, and moves forward together.

So thank you.

Thank you to everyone who has been here since day one.
Thank you to everyone who discovered us three days ago.
Thank you for the continuous support.
Thank you for every comment, every share, every message, every opportunity, and every push to go further.

10000 is a milestone.

But this is only the beginning.

The Azer Studios team
Built Different.

For our last shot in this Bronco series, @benjamin_grimes picked the location and rendered the CG car. @the.studio.kb and @pedrontheworld co-directed this shot. @kevin.buckley used VirtualRig Studio Pro to create the motion, illustrated the dust to show movement, modified the road and sky, and then added a color treatment to match the other assets. We really enjoyed sowing together CGI, Photography, AI, and retouching to create this series of hybrid images. #aigenerativefill #StudioKB #CGI #carsofinstagram #cars #automotivephotography #carphotography #Bronco #offroad #desertdrive #dusttrail #motionblur #VirtualRig #GenerativeAI #Retouching #HybridArt

Turning up the volume on color and style going all CGI and AI on this one! We prefer to shoot things in real life with real talent but we are also intrigued to see where this new era might take us. Consistency’s getting better and even if skin texture is improving we are still a long way from getting it to look authentic. Same goes for expressions and “in the moment” captures. Anyways - we’ll always stay curious and at the forefront of image creation.

THEEEE AWARD ALERT 🚨⚠️🏆🏆🏆🏆

Hey, question real quick: Is it too late in the year to celebrate THE award?

===

I am inflated like a blow-fish and so damn happy to share with my digital entourage-- that would be YOU!!!-- that for the second nomination in a row, the German Archive Magazine (absolute authority in the field) has selected yours truly and the campaign “Tracks on Sand: The Road Home” as one of the 200Best advertising photographers and print campaigns on this little messy planet of ours for the year of 2025/26.

I could not, and I mean it, have gotten anywhere with that campaign without the fucking amazing team that assembled for it. Especially the lovely Patty Hussey, my brother from another mother and director of photography Chad Windham, and my now good friends (and Blueberry’s parents) Jane and Scott Morrill.
The list of all the badasses who worked on it follows below.
For me! I am blessed, man! That's all! <3

Btw, if you haven't seen or want to see the campaign again, here's the link:
