SJC Content goes green screen chic

St. Joseph Communication’s content arm, SJC Content, has teamed with Looklet as its preferred Canadian studio partner.

The newly created SJC Powered by Looklet is a combination photography and tech operation. It produces high volumes of fashion photography for ecommerce sellers without the need for live models (or makeup or hair stylists). Instead, it imposes preexisting hi-res photography onto green screen mannequins.

Looklet is based in Stockholm and operates 60 studios around the world that, according to the company, produces 5,000 images per day.
