About
Black Book is a curated world of locations, visual culture and creative judgement. It exists for brands who understand that how they are seen matters as much as what they sell. Every decision is guided by atmosphere, relevance and intent, shaping environments that support confident, long-lasting visual storytelling.
Black Book Locations is a considered portfolio of spaces selected through an editorial lens. These are not simply places to shoot, but environments chosen for how they perform, translate and endure. Each location is curated for its ability to support narrative, visual rhythm and commercial purpose, offering clarity in an increasingly saturated landscape.
Alongside this sits Black Book Studio, where location and creative direction come together. The Studio works with brands and creators to shape shoots, content and visual systems that last beyond a single campaign. It is a space for alignment, structure and considered production, designed to remove guesswork and strengthen visual authority.
Black Book was founded by Laura Martino, an award-winning Creative Director with over 25 years’ experience working across fashion, interiors, lifestyle and sport. Her career has been defined by an understanding of how visuals, presence, and decision-making shape successful brands. Black Book reflects that perspective – bringing those elements together under one roof for brands, a combination not found elsewhere.
