Silckerodt Photography

Silckerodt Photography has been capturing raw, striking portraits across the Bow Valley for over a decade. But when Georgi Silckerodt joined forces with Lin Oosterhoff to create Twin Studio, she saw an opportunity to sharpen her brand and carve out a space that was truly her own. A creative force with heavy-metal roots, Georgi isn’t your typical mountain-town photographer—and she needed a visual identity that reflected that.

Her vision was clear: ditch the expected and create a brand that feels personal, bold, and a little rebellious while still maintaining legibility for her complex last name. Something that pulled inspiration from black-and-white cinema and her love of metal, and something that would resonate with adventurous clients who weren’t afraid to show their true selves in front of the lens.

The final branding features a custom-created wordmark that hits the sweet spot between edgy and trendy. The angular letterforms are tight and cohesive, but spaced just enough to stay legible. With a dark colour palette that features a pop of red and a hint of chrome, this new brand’s got attitude, but it works hard too.
