We have several new food photography projects being completed from clients all over New Hampshire as well as national name brand clients.
From broadcast television commercials to creative short films, we are constantly pushing out new films and videos for commercial clients around New Hampshire as well as all over New England.
We specialize in professional commercial video productions, producing broadcast television commercials for clients such as Loon Mountain, Fright Kingdom, Crush Pizza, and Crotched Mountain. We produce videos for corporate and higher education clients as well, including several video production pieces for Southern New Hampshire University. As a small studio, we have the unique ability to work more efficiently on clients video production projects, meeting shorter deadlines, tighter budgets, but still maintaining the same quality and high production values of larger Boston based video production companies.
Our focus is food photography and commercial photography, and this allows us to specialize in these areas. With a background as a professional chef, Earl Studios owner Jeremy Earl Mayhew has a unique ability to understand the nature of food photography as someone who has worked with food half his life. Working with food photography clients such as Tuscan Brands, Hancock Gourmet Lobster, Stonyfield Yogurt, and Fredericks Pastries, we have provided food photography to some of the largest and most well known brands in New Hampshire and New England.
I never know whether to write this in the first person or third person. I am the owner and founder of Earl Studios. I started this company back in 1997 in my parents basement using a old 486 computer and dial up internet. It was a magical time. I spent the first half of my professional career as a chef, so I have a love and passion for food. A film nerd since I first saw Star Wars at the drive ins, I’ve spent more time behind a camera than anything else. In college I started the Independent Filmmakers Guild, and spent time on stage acting in plays to build my understanding of what it takes to be on camera. In the 12 seconds a year I’m not working, I can usually be found skiing or hunting “wobsta’s” on the beach. But first, and foremast, before anything else….I am a father to two amazing children, and that more than anything, is my greatest achievement.
Gretchen is the secret behind the success of Earl Studios and is the wife of owner Jeremy Earl Mayhew. Working behind the scenes she manages all of the customer relations and financial aspects of Earl Studios, as well as serving as our chief cheerleader. She helps to keep the ship on course and moving in the right direction despite all of the wonderful, incredible chaos that comes with our success.
I get called Earl a lot, to the point where I’m having t-shirts made that says “I’m not Earl”. Earl is my middle name, and the name of my Grandfather, who was my mentor and one of the greatest influences on my life. The company name also takes inspiration from “Elstree Studios”, the studio in England where Star Wars was shot.
Well, sort of. Since I was 12 I’ve been behind a camera. Since the days of the shoulder held VHS camera I’ve been making films in one way or another. Before computers, I edited my films by hooking up 2 VCR’s together and hitting play & REC at the same time. Indiana Jones remakes in my back woods to emotional pieces during my time in the Army, films have been who I am, and what I am. It’s what I do to tell the story of the world as I see it.
Yes, Earl Studios is a small NH video production & food photography company. No, we don’t have an intern whose only job it is to get coffee. We are a small NH video production & food photography studio…for now. While we may not be the biggest NH video production or food photography studio around, we act as if we are, because that is what we plan to be someday. Being small has its benefits though.
Recently we made an enormous investment in the company, purchasing a new Sony FS100 Professional super 35 video camera. For the last 4 or so years, we have been production our video production and commercial projects using Canon DSLR’s, and while we love the look of the camera, the amount of video work that we […]
We recently upgraded our business phones to the new iPhone 5s and have been eagerly playing around with the new filmmaking and videography capabilities of the phones. Now I’m sure your reading this and asking yourself “How can a small business afford such a expensive new phone?!”. We pride ourselves on being pretty fiscally responsible […]
Recently we rolled out our latest ski film for Crotched Mountain, called “Set Yourself Free”, which is a big film leading into the school vacation weeks, which always tend to be a big time of year at the mountain. For this one, we needed to really do something special and different, so we knew we […]
This past month we headed down to Salem Mass to shoot an episode of The Chefs Plate, the weekly tv food show I shoot and produce that airs on WBIN Saturdays at 3:30. We had four stops for the day, which usually surprises people that the host, Helen, and I are able to shoot so […]
I recently got the opportunity to shoot for Hancock Gourmet Lobster again in studio. This was our fifth shoot together and I’ve really enjoyed the creative freedom of the shoots, as well as working with a brand that has so much personality and character to their food. For this shoot we were going to be […]
