What we make
Still images
Exteriors, interiors and aerials for design approvals, launches and sales material.
For architects, real estate developers and hospitality brands.
Photo insertions
Your design composited into real site photography, so everyone sees it in its true context.
Real-time walkthroughs
Explorable Unreal Engine experiences that open in any browser, made with our partner studio Estúdio NARO.
You talk to the person making your images.
No account managers between you and the work. Whenever the project calls for it, Lucas Castro joins you in Live Design Sessions and develops the design with your team in real time — a way of working he has refined over more than eight years. Clear rounds, fixed dates and a fixed quote before we start.

A small studio with an international client list.
Studio Megami was founded in 2016 by Lucas Castro, trained at the Federal University of Alagoas with studies in Lund, Shanghai and Beijing. From São Paulo, we produce images for hotel brands, developers and architecture offices in Brazil, the United States, the Netherlands, Portugal, Costa Rica, the UAE and Israel.
Lucas follows the design process of every project and brings a photographer's eye to each frame and film take. Real-time work is developed with Roger Santos (Estúdio NARO), and Diogo Rayan joins us in production.
