OMS x Creative Spot

OMS PHOTOGRAPHY × CREATIVE SPOT

An Extra Set of Hands, Whenever You Need Us.

You've got the strategy, the creative, and the client relationships covered. When a job needs more crew, more studio, specialty gear, or more retouching hours than your team has this month, OMS is right down I-71.

You've got the creative covered. We've got your back.

Think of OMS as a bench you can call in. A packaging launch that needs a full product set. A TV spot that needs a stage and a crew. A pour shot that needs a robot arm. A stack of files that needs retouching by Friday. You send the brief, we plug in behind your team, and Creative Spot stays the face of the work.

Use us as much or as little as you need.

No retainer and no minimums. Just a fully staffed studio you can tap one job at a time.

The job outgrows the room
Large sets, built rooms, talent, or multiple shots running at once. Our studios and crew scale up for the day, then you're back to business as usual.
The shot needs specialty gear
Robotic motion control, high-speed splash and pour, tabletop motion, and 360 product. All permanent fixtures in our studio, not rentals.
The retouching queue backs up
Send us files from your own shoots. Our in-house retouchers handle cleanup, compositing, color matching, and label swaps, and deliver to your specs.
A spot needs a crew
Broadcast and social video with our own crew, stage, and editors, cut into :30s, :15s, and vertical versions from the same shoot.
Volume lands all at once
Hundreds of packaging or eCommerce SKUs on a deadline, shot and retouched to match through one consistent capture-to-delivery workflow.

The shot your clients haven't seen before.

OMS is one of the only Midwest studios with a SISU cinema robot, and the only one with a full-time, in-house creative technologist dedicated to running it. Paired with a RED cinema camera, it moves at blistering speed or a slow, silky crawl, and it repeats every move exactly, take after take.

That means pours, splashes, and product reveals timed to the frame, plus the option to pull high-resolution stills from the same footage. One shoot, both formats, and a look your clients' competitors can't easily copy.

Your files, finished. Even from shoots we didn't do.

Our retouching team sits down the hall from our photographers, led by partner and senior retoucher Scott Burchett. They work on our own shoots every day, and they're just as happy to take files from yours. Send RAWs from a Creative Spot shoot and get back clean, brand-accurate images ready for pack, print, and screen.

Your creative, our execution

We shoot to your concepts, your art direction, and your client's brand standards. Creative Spot stays the face of the work.

A full crew without the overhead

Photographers, producers, stylists, digital techs, and retouchers on one call sheet, so you can take on bigger jobs without adding staff.

Pick just the piece you need

Book the robot arm for one shot, a retoucher for one batch, or the whole production. Each part works on its own.

Food styling in-house

Packaging hero shots, ice cream that holds, drinks that pour on cue. Our stylists work in food and beverage every week.

Quiet and white-label

We work through your team, never around it. NDAs and unbranded sets are standard on agency jobs.

Close enough for a day trip

Drive down for the shoot and be back in Columbus for dinner, or approve frames live from your own office.

From brief to final files in five steps.

Step 1

Brief & bid

Send concepts, a shot list, or a folder of files. We return a line-item estimate, usually within 48 hours.

Step 2

Pre-production

Casting, props, food sourcing, set builds, and robot moves, confirmed with your team in one call sheet.

Step 3

Shoot

On set in Cincinnati, on location at your client's site, or streamed live so you approve frames in real time.

Step 4

Retouch & edit

In-house retouching and video post, with rounds of revisions built into the estimate.

Step 5

Deliver

Final files sized and named to your spec, ready for pack, print, web, or broadcast.


Working together.

We already have our own creative team. Where does OMS fit?

Behind it. Your team owns the strategy, concepts, and client relationship. We step in only when a job needs more hands, more space, specialty gear, or more retouching capacity than you have that week.

Can we hire you for just retouching?

Yes. Send RAW, TIFF, or PSD files from your own shoots along with references or brand guides, and we'll deliver finished files in the formats you need.

Can we book the robot arm for a single shot?

Yes. Many clients book it for one hero pour or product reveal inside a larger shoot. Our creative technologist will help plan the move with your team before the shoot day.

Will OMS ever contact our clients directly?

Only if you want us to. On agency jobs we work through your team, and we're happy to work under NDA or unbranded on set.

How fast can you turn a job around?

Simple tabletop, eCommerce, and retouching work can often start within the week. Larger productions with casting, set builds, or robot programming typically need two to three weeks of pre-production.

Do we have to come to Cincinnati?

No. It's an easy day trip if you'd like to be on set, but we also travel to your clients' locations and run remote-approval shoots for teams that can't make the drive.
