The Studio
Every Ending Deserves a Portrait
Smyers Memento Studios makes photographs for the thresholds nobody else photographs. The death of your twenties. The last night of bachelorhood. A living funeral thrown while you are very much alive to enjoy it.
We build the set, dress the scene in Victorian black and gold, and hand you a portrait that looks like it was pulled from a family estate a hundred years from now.
