Studio
At 24 frames per second or in one decisive moment, we make stories that move.
At Halski Studio, we combine senior-level creative thinking with high-end production capabilities to help active lifestyle, conservation, music and craft brands tell their stories. Founded by an advertising agency creative and a strategic storyteller, we bring senior-level expertise to every phase of your project.
Led by Mark Halski, a DP, Photographer, Editor, & Creative Director, and Meg Halski, a Producer, Writer, & Director, we offer something unique: direct partnership from concept through delivery. No handoffs. No B team. No layers. Just consistent vision and solid craft throughout the process.
From capturing adventure athletes in remote locations, to crafting product stories that engage, we bring authentic moments to life. Our deep understanding of both creative strategy and production means we can scale solutions for any brand – whether you’re a startup ready to make your mark or a global company looking for a fresh perspective.
We take on select projects where we can make a genuine impact. Our clients range from global brands like Hydro Flask and Klipsch to craft makers like Remus Bourbon to innovative startups like yurbuds Sport Earphones. We bring strategic thinking and premium production to every story we tell.
When you work with Halski Studio, you get senior-level creative thinking driven by our ad agency background and three decades of strategic creative expertise and an understanding not just how to capture great visuals, but how those visuals drive business results for ambitious brands.
Every project. Every time.

Hire a Director and get a Writer completely free. I had the pleasure of working with Halski Studio this summer on a series of videos. None of which would have ever happened had Meg not written an additional creative treatment which took us on a journey to Puerto Caimito. Her enthusiasm for the work is infectious. We need more of her in our industry.Jon HansenCreative Director, Rodgers Townsend

Filmmaker / Photographer / Creative DirectorI’m a filmmaker and photographer based in Portland, Oregon. Thirty years in advertising and production have taught me one thing above all else, the best brand stories don’t feel like ads.
I came up as an art director at Arnold Worldwide, making national campaigns for brands like Jack Daniel’s and Klipsch. What that world gave me wasn’t just craft, it was a way of thinking about why a story needs to exist before worrying about how to tell it.
I founded Halski Studio fifteen years ago. Today I work alongside my creative partner Meg Halski, and together we concept, direct, shoot, edit, and deliver finished content for active lifestyle, conservation, music and craft brands. Hand us a brief and we’ll hand you something worth watching.
I’ve also put serious time into AI generative production. What separates the good stuff from the slop isn’t the tool, it’s the eye behind it. Knowing how light behaves, how a lens sees, how a story moves, that’s what I bring to generative work that most people simply can’t. The best AI work, like the best VFX, is the work you don’t notice. It serves the story rather than interrupting it.
I care about this work more than is probably necessary. Clients tend to appreciate that.
Mark is an amazing photographer and brand-builder. The guy is smart, passionate and finds a way to make something special out of everything he works on. Teaming with Mark is as creatively-satisfying an experience as you could ask for.Joe LeahyPartner and CCO, HLK

I can’t express enough how happy we at CEDIA have been with the projects Halski Studio have done for us. Beautifully shot, brilliantly edited, and always completed on-time and well within budget, their work is second to none. There’s another element to what they do, though: The Halski crew has the unique talent to make subjects who aren’t used to on-camera appearances feel at ease. They are as kind and patient as they are professional. Simply put, the process is as stellar as the results when team Halski is involved.Ed WenckContent Director, CEDIA
Halski Studio are gifted creative partners with a rare combination of vision, and know how. I hired Halski Studio to produce our Weissman showcase video in 2013 and have continued to do so every year since. Our work together elevated our brand to heights I never imagined we could attain… Their enthusiasm and willingness to take chances is not only seen in the final product but has a positive influence on our entire team. If you get the chance to work with Halski Studio jump on it. I can’t wait to work with them again!Michael GardnerCreative Director, Weissman Designs for Dance
After hiring countless agencies, Mark and Halski Studio rose to the occasion as a boutique agency that delivers on their commitments and works hard to exceed expectations. Mark’s personal talents as a photographer are iconic. I have now hired Mark at three different organizations, that’s how much I think of Mark and Halski Studio.Seth BurgettEntrepreneur and Board Member, yurbuds Sport Earphones
