Places, tools
Photography & video
A professional space equipped for shooting, filming, lighting, portraiture and visual installations. Infinity cove, black backdrops, continuous light, strobes: everything needed to give shape to an image.
Film developing & darkroom printing
A black-and-white darkroom for returning to gesture, to material, to slow time. A rare space for photographic experimentation and the passing on of craft.
Digital twins, animation & VR
A technology hub dedicated to immersive creation. From video games to virtual reality, from photogrammetry to interactive experiences, Cariality supports the most complex projects with cutting-edge tools.
Performance capture
A performance capture studio dedicated to recording movement and human performance. Body, hands and face: a complete pipeline, from capture to data processing.
