From pixels to passion
C1STSTUDIO is a premier cinematic photography and film studio founded by Cephus Nebo in 2019. What began as a simple curiosity — picking up a camera while studying IT — became a profound creative calling.
Today we craft visual stories for weddings, traditional ceremonies, events, families and maternity across Melbourne and beyond. We skilfully blend technical expertise with artistic vision to capture life's most precious moments — stories you'll relive for generations.
Cinematic Vision
Every frame is considered. We approach photography and film with the eye of a filmmaker — light, composition, and emotion working together to tell your story.
Technical Excellence
From professional-grade equipment to advanced colour grading and editing, we bring technical precision to every project without sacrificing the art.
Personal Connection
We take the time to know you, your story, and the moments that matter most. The result is work that feels authentic, not posed.
