Why we still shoot tethered
Every frame lands on a calibrated screen as it is shot. It slows nothing down and it saves reshoots.

Inès Varo, founder and photographer
Every camera on our sets is tethered to a calibrated screen. The client sees each frame about two seconds after it is taken, at full size, in a colour-managed view.
What changes on set
It changes the conversation. Decisions that used to happen in a review call a week later happen on set, while the light is still rigged and the model is still in make-up.
In four years we have reshot two images. Both were our fault, and both were caught on the tether before the set was struck.
