OMS x DBA
A Seasoned Midwest Studio, On Call for DBA.
A full-service photo, video, and retouching studio built to keep multi-location brands stocked with craveable, localize-ready content: for every LTO, every market, and every asset in your ADBOX® library.
Better brands deserve better content.
We know DBA already runs an Emmy-winning creative content studio, so we're not pitching a replacement. We're pitching a bench. Say a Papa Johns LTO needs a cheese pull, a Chick-fil-A seasonal menu needs hero shots, a Henry Ford Health campaign needs lifestyle with talent, and a franchise network needs a hundred localized assets, all in the same month. OMS gives your team another fully staffed studio to route that work to.
We've been shooting QSR for decades, for brands like Wendy's and Skyline Chili, and we're built for both ends of the job. For scale, we run multiple sets at once and push high-volume menu and product capture through a streamlined capture-to-delivery workflow. For specialty, our food stylists, motion-control rigs, and high-speed splash setups handle the shots where craveability matters most. Volume and detail, under one roof.
Built to plug into a multi-location workflow.
Your creative, our execution
We shoot to your boards, your art direction, and your client's brand standards. DBA stays the face of the work.
DAM-ready delivery
Files sized, named, and organized to your spec, ready to drop into ADBOX® and roll out to every location without rework.
Built to localize
We shoot with flexible crops, clean backgrounds, and swappable elements so one shoot can power hundreds of local versions.
Food styling in-house
Pizza that pulls, chicken that crunches, sauce that drips on cue. Our stylists work in QSR and food every week.
Retouching under one roof
Our retouchers sit next to our photographers, so feedback loops are hours, not days, and files arrive ready for every channel.
Midwest rates, national quality
Coastal-caliber production with a Midwest cost structure, so more of your franchisees' budgets lands on screen.
The categories DBA works in are the ones we shoot every week.
A few places we can lighten the load across your roster.
One studio, every format your clients need.
National brands, shot in our studios.
Menu and marketing photography for a national QSR brand, styled for menu boards, apps, and in-store promotion.
Hero menu photography for a multi-location chain, built to roll out across every restaurant and channel.
Ice cream that holds its scoop under hot lights, for packaging and promotional imagery for a regional favorite.
National CPG product photography built for packaging, eCommerce, and shelf-ready retouching.
Cocktail and spirits photography for seasonal campaigns, homepage heroes, and retail promotion.
Precision product photography and retouching for a global P&G brand.
From brief to final files in five steps.
Brief & bid
Send boards or a shot list. We return a line-item estimate, usually within 48 hours.
Pre-production
Casting, props, food sourcing, and set builds, all confirmed with your producer in one call sheet.
Shoot
In our studios, on location, or streamed live so your team and client approve frames in real time.
Retouch & edit
In-house retouching and video post, with rounds of revisions built into the estimate.
Deliver
Final files sized and named to your spec, ready for ADBOX®, your media team, or every location.
Stills and motion from the same set.
Most of our food days now capture both. A new LTO gets shot as a hero still, a slow-motion cheese pull, and a six-second social cut before the set is struck, so every location gets a full content kit from a single production budget.
Tabletop motion, high-speed liquid, behind-the-scenes, and drone are all handled by our own crew and edited in-house.
Working together.
Will OMS ever contact our clients directly?
Only if you want us to. On agency jobs we work through your producers and creative leads, and we're happy to work under NDA or unbranded on set.
Can you deliver files ready for our DAM?
Yes. Tell us your naming conventions, sizes, and metadata needs, and we'll deliver files ready to load into ADBOX® and distribute to locations.
Can you shoot to our art direction?
Yes, that's how most agency jobs run. Bring your own art director if you like, or lean on ours. We'll staff around whatever your team brings.
How fast can you turn a job around?
Simple tabletop and menu work can often be booked within the week. Larger productions with casting or set builds typically need two to three weeks of pre-production.
What does a first project look like?
Many agency partners start with a single overflow job, like an LTO shoot or a menu refresh, so your producers can see how we work before routing larger productions our way.
