We’re Forest City Studio, an independent content team with big-brand experience.
Before launching our studio, we were the in-house photography team for mDesign, a $250M+ home organization brand. We produced visuals for thousands of SKUs across Amazon, Walmart, and DTC, managing fast-paced content pipelines and high-volume studio shoots.
Now, we bring that same expertise to growing brands that need scalable, retail-ready visuals—without the overhead.
From product-on-white to full lifestyle builds, we create consistent, conversion-focused imagery designed for modern commerce.
Cleveland-based. Available everywhere.
