Premium Makers, located at the historic Simon Silk Mill in Easton, PA, specializes in handcrafted fine leather goods using time-tested techniques. Entering their small studio, you are transported to a time where the bar for quality and attention to detail is unapologetically raised. Our job was to capture still photos that encompass that feeling. Using only the available light, we photographed our subject using a fixed 50mm manual focus lens with the aperture wide open to allow for the minimum depth of field. Combined with subtle color grading for a timeless look, the final images convey the care that goes into the goods crafted and the history they are founded in.
