Our Roots, Our Rise, Our Revolution

What started with a camera and a big dream has grown into a full-blown creative force. Revolution Studios isn’t just a brand—it’s a vibe. A multimedia powerhouse built on bold ideas, jaw-dropping visuals, and a team of passionate creators who live and breathe storytelling. We’re here to make people feel something—starting with confident, seen, and celebrated.

How it all started

Our first passion and the foundation that made Revolution Studios a trusted name in visual storytelling has always been photography. Long before we expanded into full-scale creative services, we were known as the go-to studio for powerful, polished imagery that captured people, products, and brands at their very best.

From high-impact commercial campaigns and bold personal branding to timeless headshots and empowering boudoir sessions, our commitment through all phases of our own business growth has always remained the same: to bring your vision to life with intention, artistry, and an unmistakable edge.

Then Came the Boom

By 2015, we knew the world wanted more than stills. So we rolled out professional videography services—and it took off. Video gave our clients a whole new level of storytelling power. Suddenly, brands had motion, emotion, and a serious edge in a content-hungry world.

Then in 2017, Somer said, “Why stop there?” and turned the studio into something even bigger: a full-service branding and marketing agency. That meant strategy, execution, and content creation all under one roof. No outsourcing. No watered-down visions. Just seamless, high-impact branding from start to finish.

Whether it's personal branding, social media strategy, website builds, or SEO/SEM magic, our crew of top-tier creatives and marketing minds has helped our clients shine brighter and grow faster—with style.

And Then... We Got Smarter

In 2022, we took things to the next level by adding AI-powered marketing to our arsenal. Yep, we embraced the future. And it’s been a game-changer.

Now, we don’t just create killer content—we make sure it lands. AI helps us zero in on your target audience with laser precision. From real-time performance data to smarter ad placement and behavior-based optimization, we have more control than ever in helping you reach the right people, in the right place, at the right time. It’s efficient, effective, and kind of magical.

Powered by People

Our not-so-secret sauce? The dream team behind it all. Photographers, marketers, retouchers, content creators, stylists, strategists—you name it. Everyone who's been a part of the Revolution Studios journey has left a mark, and we wouldn’t be here without their heart, hustle, and creative genius.

We’re proud to be a studio where creativity meets strategy, where bold ideas turn into visual gold, and where every project gets the magic touch it deserves.

Let’s make something unforgettable.

Visuals That Sell, Storytell, and Stand Out

At Revolution Studios, we don’t just take pretty pictures—we create visual experiences that work. Commercial photography and videography should do more than look good.

With over 20 years of experience and a fresh, fearless approach to creative direction, we’ve become the Triangle’s go-to studio for high-impact commercial content. From bold visuals for national brands to polished assets for local favorites, we help businesses put their best face—and product—forward.

Commercial Photography-Polished. Professional. Purpose-Driven.

Studio sleek or story-rich in the wild—we design each commercial shoot to hit your goals and reflect your brand’s unique energy. Simple clean conversion-worthy shots for e-commerce? A stylized shoot that sparks desire? Or brand imagery that says “premium” before anyone even reads the caption? We’ve got you covered.

We’ve produced everything from:

Commercial Videography- Let Your Brand Move People—Literally.

Static visuals are powerful. But motion? Motion brings emotion. It connects, converts, and sticks.

Our custom commercial video work is designed to elevate your online presence and make your brand unforgettable. Whether it's a branding video, a behind-the-scenes feature, a founder bio, or a cinematic scroll-stopper for your homepage—video lets you show, not just tell. And in today’s oversaturated market, that’s everything.

We create:

• Website landing videos & banner features

• Branded content for social and paid ads

We understand how vital first impressions are, especially online. We’ll make sure your visuals not only reflects your brand—but raise the bar on how people see it.

Empowering. Elegant. 100% You.

Choosing the right photographer—and the right studio—is the most important first step in your boudoir journey. Let’s be honest: it’s not every day you’re professionally photographed in your lingerie (or less), which is why feeling safe, supported, and comfortable is everything.

At Revolution Studios, we’ve created an experience that’s not only empowering, but surprisingly fun. Yes, nerves are totally normal—but the moment you meet our all-female team of pros, those nerves turn into excitement.

And don’t worry, we’ll guide you every step of the way with expert posing, personalized styling, and tons of encouragement.

No two sessions are the same—and that’s the magic.
We’ll start by reviewing your wardrobe, getting clear on your goals, and creating a shared vision for your shoot. Expect a mix of looks that capture every facet of your personality and plenty of images to choose from.

Through expert styling and strategic storytelling, we create a full sensory experience. Our images showcase flavor, texture, and mood—giving viewers not just a visual, but a feeling. The kind that draws them in and brings them to the table.
