Know More

Understanding the Vision, Framing the Story
When we began working with The Teak Stories, our goal was to translate their warm, timeless design language into compelling visuals. Teak’s aesthetic celebrates natural textures, calm spaces, and functional elegance. Our job was not just to photograph interiors, but to capture the soul of each space. Through thoughtful framing, ambient lighting techniques, and visual storytelling, we ensured that every photograph did justice to the designer’s vision. Whether it was a cozy Pune bungalow or a chic city apartment, we made sure that the essence of her design philosophy came through in every shot.
Photography with Purpose
Interior photography is more than just pretty pictures. It’s about helping businesses communicate value to their clients, investors, and juries. One of the standout moments in our collaboration with The Teak Stories was the award-winning boutique project Binaaf in Mumbai. While the award was for her stunning interior design, the photographs we shot were used in the final submission presentation. The designer herself acknowledged that our visuals elevated the impact of her work, helping it get the attention it deserved. This is the kind of problem-solving we bring to the table—making sure your work is seen in the best light, literally and figuratively.
Every space comes with its own set of challenges, from small, poorly-lit apartments to sprawling bungalows with complex compositions. What sets our team apart is the ability to adapt on-site, make quick lighting decisions, and find angles that not only make the space look its best but also stay true to the client’s design choices. With The Teak Stories, we’ve worked across a variety of projects, each with its own brief and moodboard. Our flexible shooting style and collaborative mindset ensured smooth communication and stunning output, every single time.
Trust Built on Results
We don’t just shoot and deliver. We care about results. That’s why, over multiple projects and locations, The Teak Stories has continued to trust us with their photography needs. The feedback has been consistently positive, not only from the client but also from her clients and collaborators who’ve appreciated the way her spaces are presented online and in print. Our consistent quality, quick turnarounds, and reliable communication have made us a natural extension of her creative team.
What makes this collaboration special is that both Renai Media and The Teak Stories share a passion for excellence. For us, a shoot is successful only when it helps the client move forward, whether that means recognition, better branding, or more projects. Through our visuals, we help interior designers like her showcase their talent in a way that creates real impact. And that, ultimately, is what great creative partnerships are built on.
Cinematics That Make Spaces Breathe
Beyond stills, we also produce cinematic interior videos for The Teak Stories - from walkthroughs and drone shots to Instagram reels that have crossed lakhs of views. Every video is color-graded, carefully edited, and styled to feel as rich as the space itself. It’s storytelling in motion, designed for impact.
We offer end-to-end visual services: pre-production planning, photography, video, reels, and final delivery, all tailored to interiors. That means one team, one vision, and no compromises. For designers like The Teak Stories, it translates to a hassle-free creative workflow with outputs that work across portfolios, awards, and marketing.
