Professional photography in San Sebastián

Your business photos are your digital shopfront: they show up before you do, on Google, on the menu, on your Instagram profile and on the property portal. At Mist Productions we shoot professional photography for product, food, real estate, corporate portraits and events in San Sebastián and across Gipuzkoa, with direction on every session, never in bulk.

Behind every job are two partners: Herman Korkos on creative direction and Dmytro "Dima" Hrabchuk as director of photography. We prepare the session with you, take care of light and framing on location, and edit the selected photos one by one, so the result looks like your brand and not like anyone's catalogue.

We shoot in a closed space with controlled light or at your own premises, in San Sebastián, Irun, Errenteria and across Gipuzkoa, and also in Bilbao, Navarre and the French Basque Country. You get the edited photos, in the formats each channel needs, through a private delivery portal with a link. And if you write to us, we usually reply within a few hours, almost always the same day.

Photography for shopping centres

A shopping centre is dozens of shop windows that all need the same eye. We photograph every shop, cover the centre's events and leave the material ready for the shop directory, the website and social media.

Photos of every shop. Shop window, interior, product and the people behind the counter, with the same approach to light and framing for every unit: the centre looks like a whole and each shop looks like itself.

The centre's events. Openings, campaigns and activities. We cover them without getting in the way and deliver an edited selection for social media, the press and the next edition. If you need video, the same team shoots it.

Content for the shop directory. Photos in the formats each channel needs: each shop's page on the centre's website, social media and signage. All in a private portal with a link, so you can share it with every shop.

Case study: Alex Lux Studio, a barbershop on the ground floor of Centro Comercial Mendibil (Irun)

The starting point. A barbershop on the ground floor of Centro Comercial Mendibil, in Irun. The challenge: making it look online the way it feels in the chair, with the craft, the service and the space.

What we did. A session in the shop itself: portraits of Alex, the razor and clipper work, and the Doctor Barber products used in the shop. On top of that, a reel for its social media.

What they got. An edited selection, retouched one by one, delivered in a private portal and ready for social media and the website.

Who this service is for

Restaurants, shops and product brands

If you sell something people can see, the photo sells before you do: on the menu, in the online shop, in the catalogue or on Instagram. We shoot product and food photography with art direction, planned for each channel.

Estate agents and property owners

A listing with careful real estate photography is understood at a glance. We photograph homes, retail units and offices in San Sebastián, Irun and across Gipuzkoa, using the light of this coast and adding drone shots when the property needs them.

Companies and professionals who show their face

A corporate portrait is the first impression on LinkedIn, on the website and in the email signature. We run team sessions at your offices or in a space with controlled light, with a consistent style for the whole staff.

Event organisers

Conferences, industry days, openings and launches in San Sebastián and Gipuzkoa. We cover the event discreetly and deliver an edited selection that works for the post-event report, the sponsors and next year's edition. Video, if you need it, comes from the same team.

What we deliver

How we work

  1. Tell us what you need Write to us on WhatsApp or through the form and we usually reply within a few hours, almost always the same day. We talk about what the photos are for, where they will be used and what material already exists. From that we send you a clear quote, with no commitment, and set a date.
  2. We prepare the session Before a single shot, we define the style with examples, build the shot list and decide whether your premises, a space with controlled light or outdoors works best. For a product shoot, we agree which references go into the session; for a property, we send simple instructions to get it ready in ten minutes.
  3. We shoot We arrive with our own kit: camera, lighting and, when needed, a drone with a licensed operator. Dima directs the light and framing; Herman makes sure every image tells your brand's story. We work fast and unobtrusively, in a restaurant during service or in an office during the working day.
  4. We edit and deliver We select the best shots and edit them one by one: colour, light, clean-up and cropping for each channel. You receive the photos in your private portal with a link, in high resolution and the formats you need, ready for the website, social media, the property portal or the printer.

Frequently asked questions

How many photos do you deliver?

As many as the session yields at real quality, not an inflated number: we select and edit the best instead of dumping the whole card. We agree on a rough figure when we quote, depending on the type of session: a twenty-dish menu is not the same as a team portrait of ten people or covering a full-day conference.

How are the photos delivered?

Through a private online portal with a link, with previews, selection and high-resolution download. No pen drives, no transfers that expire within a week. We upload the edited photos in the formats each channel needs, whether web, social media, property portal or print, and you can share the link with whoever needs it: your designer, your agency or your communications team.

Does the professional photography session happen at my premises or somewhere else?

It depends on the job. Small products and food usually come out better in a closed space with controlled light; a restaurant, a shop or an office is photographed in the space itself, because the place is part of what you sell. We travel across San Sebastián, Irun and all of Gipuzkoa with our own lighting kit, and we decide it with you while preparing the session.

How long until I receive the photos?

It depends on the volume. A corporate portrait or product session is usually edited and delivered within a few working days; covering a large event takes a little longer because of the amount of material. If you have a launch date, tell us when you ask for a quote and we schedule the editing to make it. The exact deadline is set in writing before we start.

Do you do corporate portraits for the whole team?

Yes. A corporate portrait is the first impression on LinkedIn, on the website and in the email signature. We run team sessions at your offices or in a space with controlled light, with a consistent style for the whole staff, and we edit the best shots one by one, in formats ready for web, social media and print.

How much does a professional photo session cost?

It depends on what needs photographing and how much time it takes: a morning of product shots at your premises is not the same as portraits of a whole team, an event or a property. What moves the price: the hours of shooting, the number of edited photos you need, whether lighting has to be brought in, travel, and whether we also film video on the same visit. Tell us what you want photographed and what you will use the photos for, and we will prepare a tailored quote, with no commitment. We usually reply within a few hours, almost always the same day.

Can you shoot video in the same session?

Yes, and it is one of the advantages of working with a production company: at Mist Productions we do photography and video with the same team. In a product session we can also shoot a reel for Instagram, delivered in 24-72 hours; at an event, photos and an aftermovie; for a property, real estate photography and a video tour. Everything is planned together, with one preparation and one visit to your premises.

Where we work

We are based in Donostia-San Sebastián and work regularly in Irun, Errenteria and across Gipuzkoa. We also travel to Bilbao, Navarre and the French Basque Country, and for specific sessions we go anywhere in Spain. Knowing the area helps: we know what light the bay has mid-afternoon, how to photograph a narrow bar in the Old Town or a farmhouse in Oiartzun. And if your team or your clients speak Spanish, Basque or English, the session and the delivery come in whichever language suits you.

We work in San Sebastián, Irun, Errenteria and across Gipuzkoa; also Bilbao, Navarre and the French Basque Country. And we travel across the rest of Spain.

Shall we talk about your session?

Tell us what you need photographed, where and what for: we usually reply within a few hours, almost always the same day, with a no-commitment quote. Before you decide, you can browse recent work in the portfolio and read on Google what clients who have worked with Mist Productions say about us.
