Meet the Team

Luna & Karlijn are not only creators of the campaigns but they are also the heart and connectors behind STUDIO ELSEWHERE,
the glue in a chain of creatives who combine work and travel. Without connection, everyone moves solo - occasionally crossing paths, missing out on opportunities. Luna & Karlijn change that. They complete the team by bringing together the right talents, turning opportunities & ideas into full-scale productions.
They stay involved from concept to completion, aligning creative vision with execution, and forming the best team for each brand, each story.

  • CREATIVE DIRECTOR & STYLIST

    Luna Michel helps brands tell stories that feel real. With a refined eye for aesthetics and culture, she bridges the gap between artistic direction and commercial impact, creating campaigns, editorials, and visuals that connect emotionally and stand out visually.

  • Filmmaker & Photographer

    Karlijn tells stories that move quietly, honestly and with intent. With a cinematic eye and a sensitivity for atmosphere, she captures the in-between moments where real emotion lives. Her work bridges artistry and authenticity, creating visuals that feel timeless yet alive.

OUR STORY

What began as just working for small brands while traveling to cover travel costs,
evolved into a long-term business model. As freelance creatives, we would travel (individually, as we didn't know each other) annually to Cape Town for workations,
blending our desire to explore new locations with our passion for creating campaigns. Small brands became bigger brands, working solo became
a network of talented image makers and discovering new locations for fun became our expertise.

Over time, we connected with more like-minded creatives who shared our lifestyle, leading us to join forces. Together, we form a fully operational creative production team and that's when we thought: hey, let’s team up on purpose. We don't consider ourselves an agency but a collective of freelancers that together do the same work as an agency.
