Festivals & Events
Festivals & Events photography happens live and once, with no retakes — the schedule doesn't move for weather or a missed moment. On Visie, that craft spans live event and red carpet photography for organisations like Sundance Film Festival and Ticketmaster, typically shot in much higher volume than a studio campaign to guarantee usable coverage.

Project PARK, the renamed Stuttgart club · Brand Identity
Stuttgart-based club PARK introduces a comprehensive brand identity system, reimagined to bridge its history with a forward-looking digital aesthetic. Developed by Hochburg and the Hanke Brothers, the project spans graphic design, 3D motion, and videography to establish a cohesive visual language for the venue. The identity leans into a stark monochrome palette, utilizing high-contrast editorial photography, geometric grid systems, and minimalist typography to ground the brand's evolution. The execution integrates both physical and digital touchpoints, ranging from illuminated signage and branded apparel to dynamic animation sequences. By utilizing clean 3D render/CGI techniques and experimental VFX, the creators translate the club's spatial presence into a flexible system of motion graphics and vector-based templates. This project establishes a precise, industrial identity that prioritizes clarity and structural rhythm across all media.
photography festival · Brand Identity
For the 9th Triennale der Photographie Hamburg 2026, the visual identity, developed under the project title Alliance Infinity Love, establishes a sophisticated and contemporary language for one of the photography industry's most anticipated events. The project, brought to life through the design and motion expertise of dipshop alongside print production by Leon Lechner and Katharina Hetzeneder, centers on a refined aesthetic that bridges minimalist structuralism with a vibrant, humanistic color palette. By utilizing soft-focus gradients of pink, orange, and green against stark white and neutral backdrops, the identity succeeds in creating a modern, cohesive look that remains accessible yet elevated. This commercial branding initiative leverages clean, sans-serif typography to anchor the exhibition materials, while the integration of large-scale environmental graphics—including vertical banners and bold wall treatments—transfers the conceptual elegance of the printed brochures directly into the physical gallery space. The result is a seamless, cinematic presentation that leans into natural light to highlight the precision of the layout and the tactical quality of the materials. By balancing geometric abstraction with an invitation to engage with the theme In The Face Of The Other, the design team has crafted an identity that feels both timeless and urgent, perfectly reflecting the evolving, multifaceted nature of contemporary photographic discourse within the public sphere.
Project MAPP · Brand Identity
For the latest iteration of the MAPP MTL festival, Baillat Studio has crafted a brand identity that leans into a rigorous, monochromatic aesthetic, perfectly capturing the high-energy intersection of projection mapping and urban culture. By utilizing a stark, high-key palette and aggressive, sans-serif typography, the visual system prioritizes clarity and scale, ensuring that the digital event details remain the focal point across every touchpoint. The project channels a modern, graphic design-led sensibility, where bold text treatments are layered over abstract, repeating patterns to create a sense of structured movement. With UI illustration techniques and precise 3D render and CGI elements, the branding translates seamlessly from static print assets to dynamic mobile interfaces, reflecting the festival's commitment to cutting-edge digital experiences. The execution feels intentionally sparse yet impactful, creating a professional and cohesive presence that anchors the festival's diverse programming—from laser projections to DJ sets—within a unified aesthetic language. Through the collaborative efforts of Baillat Studio on design and motion, supported by Applied Archive Atelier on web development, the identity transforms technical event information into a high-contrast, immersive narrative. This identity avoids unnecessary clutter, instead relying on the raw power of typography and sharp visual hierarchies to engage audiences within the Festivals & Events space, signaling a bold transition for the 2025 edition.

Project Birmingham Royal Ballet · Brand Identity

Collaborative contributions from NB Studio, Design by Twist, BOND, Simoul Alva, and Antonio Calvino shaped the project's graphic execution.
