15 Years of Precision in Jewellery & Luxury Retail Photography

Over the past fifteen years, Kalory Photo & Video has evolved from a two-person studio into a specialist production partner for jewellery, watch and retail brands.

The milestones below reflect key moments in our journey.

The Beginning

Kalory Photo & Video was founded by Brijesh Patel and Franck Jehanne, combining technical precision and creative direction. Our first commission was for Rolex in Knightsbridge — setting the tone for what followed.

Beginning of Watch Specialisation

Our partnership with SalonQP at the Saatchi Gallery marked the start of Kalory’s development as a specialist in watch photography.

Advanced Reflection Control

A project for a Bond Street retailer led to the development of advanced techniques to control reflections in boutique façades — allowing interiors to be captured with clarity and precision.

Trusted by

Fifteen years ago, we founded Kalory Photo & Video with a clear ambition: to create product imagery defined by precision and control.

Since then, the tools have evolved and the industry has shifted, but our focus has remained consistent — delivering specialist photography for jewellery, watches and retail environments where detail matters.

We are grateful to the brands, collaborators and team members who have trusted us along the way. The past fifteen years have shaped our expertise. The next chapter continues to build on it.
