Dignified, verified
field storytelling.
Field imagery your donors, safeguarding team, and legal reviewers can all sign off on. Delivered by one photographer out of Guatemala — not an agency rotation. Framework-friendly, grant-cycle-friendly, consent-first by default.
Field imagery you can publish without second-guessing where it came from or who agreed to it.
Named, scoped, and priced before we start.
No vague retainers, no open-ended day rates. Each offer below is a defined deliverable with its own scope and paperwork, built for NGOs and publishers who need predictability.
Verified Field Shoot
A 3-day assignment with an agreed number of images, full consent documentation, and C2PA metadata on every file. Scope and price are fixed before Trenton leaves for the field — no surprises on invoice.
Ethical Archive License
License from a searchable archive where every image ships with consent paperwork and C2PA provenance attached. Instant download, clear editorial and campaign tiers, no legal gaps on sourcing.
Retainer / Framework Agreement
A predictable quarterly delivery of field imagery for NGOs — same price every quarter, same quality every quarter. Built to slot into framework agreements, grant cycles, and year-end fundraising calendars.
Provenance Audit
A review of your existing image library for consent and authenticity gaps. You get a short written report flagging the images that could expose you legally — and clear next steps to fix them.
Verification & Monitoring
Visual proof that your project exists and is working — geotagged, timestamped field visits for community projects, supply chains, and development programs. A photo your donors and compliance team can both trust.
Dawn comes quietly in Cox's Bazar
"Before the light fully breaks, the camps are already awake. You hear it first—soft footsteps on packed earth, the creak of bamboo frames, a kettle set over a small flame. Then the voices. Low, steady, familiar. Another day beginning in the largest refugee settlement in the world."
A short field assignment covering daily life in Cox's Bazar — morning routines, shared water points, and the nearby fishing communities. An example of what a Verified Field Shoot deliverable looks like end to end.

Tell us what you need and where. You'll get back a fixed-scope quote with the number of images, timeline, usage rights, and consent plan — all before anything is booked.
You can prove where every photo came from.
Every image we deliver carries Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) metadata — an open standard that records where and when a photo was taken and verifies it has not been altered.
In plain terms: your legal team, fact-checkers, donors, and auditors can all verify a photo themselves. No phone calls to the photographer. No sourcing memos. No doubt.
Signed at the camera. Any edit after that is visible — so you know the file hasn't been quietly changed.
Every featured subject reviews and signs a release in their own language before publication.
Exact GPS, timestamp, and field notes travel with the file — not in a separate email.
First Landing Studio never produces synthetic or AI-generated images. Real photographs only.
