Stas May / West Street Labs

Creative direction and generative production for brands and editorial.

West Street Labs is the creative practice of Stas May. Generative visual development, image production, and hybrid workflows—from concept to finish.

Built on more than fifteen years in photography and filmmaking. That production craft shapes the direction, selection, and finish of new work.

New methods. Established craft.
