STEPHAN TWIST - CREATIVE DIRECTOR
An internationally exhibited fine art photographer, Stephan built his post-military creative career at the intersection of commercial precision and experimental creativity. After years in indie film, he saw firsthand how traditional agency models were failing modern brands because they were often bloated with waste and slow hand-offs.
He launched Paper Carrot Studio to provide a faster and more intentional alternative. By unifying creative and technical leadership, Stephan eliminates the layers of bureaucracy that typically inflate costs. He personally directs and shoots the majority of the studio’s work. This approach prioritizes the narrative over logistics to ensure every dollar of the budget ends up on the screen. The result is a lean, responsive framework that delivers high-end professional video content without the traditional agency disconnect.
