A Space Designed for Brands to Thrive
Studio Ree is more than just a studio, it's our creative playground, purposefully designed for our in-house team to bring brands to life. From lifestyle content and campaign imagery to polished portraits and product photography, our versatile space allows our creatives to work their magic across every backdrop and beam of natural light.
All shoots are exclusively booked through our team and led by our founder and lead photographer, Maria, ensuring a cohesive, high-quality experience from concept to final edit.
This is where strategy meets creativity and your brand takes centre stage. Our space is not like other photography or content studios. It is not available for public hire and is exclusively reserved for clients working with our creative team. Studio hire is included in all our package pricing, unless we’re travelling to capture your brand at your own location.
Maria Duartè
STUDIO FOUNDER
LEAD PHOTOGRAPHER | CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Maria is the visionary behind Ree Creative and Studio Ree, an expanding empire built on a deep passion for brand storytelling and visual excellence. As the founder and lead photographer, she brings over a decade of industry experience in design, branding and photography, blending strategy with creativity to help businesses bring their vision to life.
Her love for photography began early, capturing creative portraits of friends and family. By 17, Maria was already being approached to shoot by brands, unknowingly laying the foundations for what would become her career. After graduating with a Bachelor of Design in Visual Communication, studying Photography and Media, Maria spent years building brands and refining her creative direction skills. But it wasn’t until recently that she decided to bring her photography talents to the forefront, launching Studio Ree as a space designed exclusively for businesses to create, elevate and shine.
Studio Ree was born out of Maria’s desire to offer something more than a traditional hire space. With a luxury, minimalist aesthetic, the studio is a private, content-rich environment where brands are given the tools, team and guidance to produce visuals that genuinely stand out, from still imagery to short-form video.
With a strong eye for detail, storytelling and brand alignment, Maria is more than just a photographer, she’s a creative force behind the lens, offering direction, strategy and an experience that makes every shoot impactful and purposeful.
