Studio KB

Studio KB is a visual production studio based in the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area that specializes in AI, CGI, and high-end retouching services for advertising campaigns. They primarily serve agencies, photographers, and brands, with a strong focus on automotive imagery. The studio has been operating for at least 15 years and works with clients such as Toyota, Hilton, and Peloton.

The studio's pricing for custom campaigns typically starts at $5,000, though they provide full, transparent line-item quotes after a strategy call. They do not have a fixed price for all services, as costs depend on the specific project requirements and scope.

Studio KB offers a range of services including cutting-edge AI workflows, seamless CGI integration, and production-resolution AI retouching. They also provide AI talent generation and consistent character creation for campaigns. Their workflow scales from single-image work to large, multi-asset advertising campaigns.

According to a testimonial from Natalie Santana, Senior Producer at Innocean, the studio is praised for its speed, attention to detail, and clear, timely communication during fast-paced live events. Reviewers also highlight the seamless nature of the process when an artist is on-site.

The studio's team includes Creative Director Kevin Buckley, Senior Retoucher Jenn Alberts, Lead CGI Artist Eric Martin, and Photographer/VFX Supervisor Benjamin Grimes. They emphasize that their artists shape style, story, and detail so the final image feels photographed rather than synthetic.

Studio KB uses enterprise-grade workflows to protect client vision, IP, and control over the final image. They create exactly where products should live without rain delays or location fees, and they use CGI for vehicles to ensure 100% product accuracy.

The studio can create 8k, photorealistic characters for campaigns, allowing clients to control pose, emotion, and interaction with other AI characters. They also offer lifestyle retouching to elevate suboptimal locations into upscale, modern workout environments.

Studio KB was shortlisted for the 2026 Spotlight Awards in the AI Image Developing & Creating category under Production Paradise. They also conducted a real 8,000-pixel image test comparing GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst and Gemini 3.1 Flash Image (Nano Banana 2) to ensure production readiness.

To get started, clients can book a discovery call to review their brief, discuss technical execution, and identify potential pitfalls. The goal is to leave clients with more clarity before signing a contract, with most CGI/AI projects kicking off as soon as the contract is signed.

Studio KB is built to handle both the big picture and the smallest details, scaling their workflow from highly technical single-image work to large, multi-asset advertising campaigns. They focus on precision, consistency, and execution regardless of the project size.

The studio is based in Southern California and shapes its process around how clients like to work, whether that is on-set, in-studio, or through a smooth remote review process. They aim to make production efficient, responsive, and easy from the first brief to final delivery.

Studio KB believes that ambitious concepts deserve imagery that fully delivers on the idea by combining strong artistic judgment with early adoption of new technology. They strive to deliver premium imaging solutions that elevate the creative while respecting timelines and budgets.

The studio uses secure, enterprise-grade workflows to accelerate exploration while protecting client vision and IP. They direct pictures rather than just chasing prompts, ensuring the final output feels authentic and not overly synthetic.
