About Third Eye Studio
Third Eye Studio was a London creative post-production studio specializing in high-end photo retouching, CGI and 3D animation. Its work combined photographic image manipulation with computer-generated imagery for advertising campaigns, commercial photography and brand communications. The studio collaborated with advertising agencies, independent creatives and photographers, as well as accepting direct client commissions.
Its production capabilities covered 3D modeling, shading, rendering and rigging, alongside animation, motion design, digital compositing and colour finishing. These services supported both still imagery and moving-image work. Creative consultancy and campaign imagery production complemented its technical post-production capabilities, reflecting its positioning as a creative partner throughout the development of commercial visuals.
Automotive imagery formed a substantial part of the portfolio, including vehicle launches, studio images and campaign visuals. Beverage and spirits projects combined product visualization, packaging imagery and retouching. The studio also worked across sportswear, luxury goods, jewellery and consumer technology, adapting its image-making capabilities to different products and advertising contexts.
The business operated through a succession of company names before adopting Third Eye Studio in 2017. Its legal entity was incorporated in January 2012, initially under its founder’s name, and subsequently traded as Tank. The later Third Eye Studio identity followed a comprehensive renaming and branding programme.
The company’s commercial model combined direct UK commissions with international representation through an external artists’ agency. This extended its commercial reach beyond its London base while keeping the studio’s creative production distinct from its representative’s sales activities.
Third Eye Studio Ltd applied for voluntary strike-off in May 2023 and was dissolved on 8 August 2023. Its London studio subsequently appears in the research as a historical, closed operation, and its former website is dormant.
