Lumen & Grain is the studio of Shorenex. We shoot product, lifestyle and brand film from Beijing — for Australian labels that sell on their own store and cannot afford to look like everyone else.
We quote per project rather than publish a rate card. A still-life day and a full campaign differ by more than an order of magnitude, and a published number only anchors the wrong conversation. Send a brief — you get an itemised, fixed quote within two working days.
Usage is the line most quotes leave vague until it becomes a problem. We put it on the page separately so you can see exactly what you are buying.
Directs brand films and campaigns. Handles the treatment, the shot list, and the edit direction — the part of the job that decides whether the film has an idea in it.

Request portfolio (PDF) →We put names, schools and downloaded documents on this page on purpose. “Experienced team” is a phrase anyone can write; a CV is something a client can check.
Usually yes — a courier takes 4–6 days from Australia. For bulky or fragile items we can source a sample locally, or shoot with a supplied unit if you already have one in China.
Yes, for larger projects we travel. Travel and accommodation are quoted separately, and we will tell you honestly when a local crew is the cheaper answer.
You do on final payment. Raw files and project files are handed over on request. We ask permission before showing the work in our portfolio — never assume it.
Two rounds of retouching or edit notes are included. After that we bill hourly, quoted before we start.
Tell us the product, the deadline and the budget range. That is enough to start — you do not need a deck.
