In 1971, we opened Thomas Burke & Others as a commercial product photography studio–long before digital and even longer before computer generated imagery (CGI). Today, TB&O continues to serve its client’s product imaging needs with product renders (CGI), animations, interactive web experiences, traditional photography, and still & video post-production. We’re known for creating product renders that are indistinguishable from traditional photography. In other words, imagery and animation more photo-real than photo-real is photo-real.

Renders more photo-real than photo-real is photo-real

Clients have engineering files long before they have product. We take their engineering CAD files and create models inside our computers comprised of tens of millions of polygons. We position a virtual camera inside our app focused on the product. We light it, again inside the app, just as if we were lighting in our real studio. The best part is how we create the materials–custom for every client. When we are done our renders are indistinguishable from a photo created with a traditional camera.
