✨ Where ideas take flight ✨

At 𝗦𝗧𝗨𝗗𝗜𝗢 𝗥𝗔𝗗𝗔𝗥, creativity is always in motion. Every frame we capture, every experiment we try, comes from a belief in the transformative power of collaboration.

From photography and video to immersive technologies, our work is shaped by the energy of the people we work with artists, institutions, and creative communities alike. Each project is a chance to explore, imagine, and share new possibilities for visual narratives.

Are you ready to experiment, co-create, and push the boundaries of what a shared vision can become? Let's talk about your project!

𝗦𝗧𝗨𝗗𝗜𝗢 𝗥𝗔𝗗𝗔𝗥 was founded in 2021 by Manuel Vason and Rubiane Maia, emerging from a shared belief in the transformative power of art, creativity, and visual storytelling, as well as the importance of thoughtful, artist-led documentation across a wide range of creative practices.

Working at the intersection of photography, video, and immersive technology, we collaborate with artists, institutions, organisations, and communities to produce thoughtful, accessible, and visually engaging narratives. From exhibitions, live art, installations, dance, theatre, and other artistic environments, we believe creative documentation is a powerful tool of communication.

✨✨✨ As we move through 2026, 𝗦𝗧𝗨𝗗𝗜𝗢 𝗥𝗔𝗗𝗔𝗥 is open to new collaborations with creatives, artists, and partners interested in co-creation and experimentation to explore new possibilities for visual expression. If you’re looking to develop projects grounded in trust, care, and artistic integrity, we’d love to connect. ✨✨✨

𝗦𝗧𝗨𝗗𝗜𝗢 𝗥𝗔𝗗𝗔𝗥 is delighted that 𝗡𝗼𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲; 𝗔𝗻 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗶-𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝘆, the powerful solo show by Khalid Abdalla - @khalid3bdalla is touring Australia and New Zealand and reaching new audiences across the region.

We were commissioned by Fuel Theatre - @fueltheatre and Battersea Arts Centre - @batterseaartscentre to create the images for the show’s poster and promotional materials.

It was a privilege to collaborate with Khalid and director Omar Elerian and we’re not surprised to see the piece receiving such a strong and enthusiastic response. Thanks Khalid and @omarelerian an for this incredible experience!

An environment in motion.

Young people moving, creating, and imagining — surrounded by an explosion of ideas and possibilities.
The backstage captures the energy behind the work: a space where creativity is shared, voices are valued, and new visual identities are born through collaboration.

Led by 𝗦𝗧𝗨𝗗𝗜𝗢 𝗥𝗔𝗗𝗔𝗥 creative director Manuel Vason - @manuelvason , the photoshoot was developed through close collaboration with 𝗜𝗰𝗼𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆, placing young people at the center of the creative process driven by confidence, experimentation, and collective authorship.

Looking ahead to 2026, 𝗦𝗧𝗨𝗗𝗜𝗢 𝗥𝗔𝗗𝗔𝗥 is excited to connect with artists, creatives, organizations, and institutions, interested in meaningful collaboration, accessibility, and bold visual storytelling.

With thanks to Mart Collins for the beautiful film, all the production team, the Youth Company, and the Icon Theatre @icon.teatre that brought this project to life.

We’re excited to start the year by featuring a beautiful project completed at the end of 2025: the Icon’s Young People’s new visual identity.

CONFIDENCE · CELEBRATION · VIBRANCE ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

In November 2025, Icon’s Youth Engagement Programme underwent a transformative rebrand, and 𝗦𝗧𝗨𝗗𝗜𝗢 𝗥𝗔𝗗𝗔𝗥 was thrilled to be part of this exciting journey. Working alongside the Icon Theatre team, their Creative Council and Youth Theatre, our director, @manuelvason, collaborated closely with the group to explore how the group wanted to be represented.

The photoshoot focused on celebration, joy, and belonging, reflecting the group’s energy and vision. From confetti cannons to silver foil and playful movement, this project highlights the power of collaborative creativity, where young people are not just subjects but co-authors of their own visual identity.

𝗦𝗧𝗨𝗗𝗜𝗢 𝗥𝗔𝗗𝗔𝗥 is proud to have facilitated a process that truly captures the spirit and confidence of the young people involved.

We would like to thank Icon Theatre - @icon.theatre, the Creative Council, the Youth Theatre, and everyone involved @dockyard.chatham @aceagrams @creativemedway #ropemuseum for their incredible energy, commitment, and trust.

This project is a wonderful example of what can happen when co-creation and artistic vision come together.

Yes, the original performance/exhibition can never be fully re-experienced, but its documentation can extend its influence through time.
