Brite Productions believed it was the clients who were best qualified to speak on behalf of its production services:

“It was a pleasure to recently work with Guillermo and his team. We were on time and on budget. Creatively they found the elements we needed to make my photos stand out, and I plan on returning to shoot in Buenos Aires with Brite very soon.” Chris Sanders, Photographer, NYC.

"I am thankful to Brite Productions because they offered us very good logistical and professional production services throughout the 20 day shoot we spent between Buenos Aires, Salta and La Rioja for the 2009 Toyota Hilux campaign. Thanks to Brite's excellent production coordination we were able to do dozens of difficult shoots in a short period, both in the studio and on location. We are proud to have chosen Brite Productions as our production partner in Argentina." Du Ribeiro and Gabriel Rodrigues, Photographers, Brazil.

"We speak of window dressing as a form of creation capable of developing as an independent art that not only resorts to a set of visual stimuli directed at seducing potential buyers, but is also responsible for making a statement of the times, a cultural product and a work of art.

"I find the unification of colour and texture helps me create a more consistent image composition. I tend to use alternative materials that add drama to a piece; everyday elements that I rescue from ordinary places in order to change the way that they are used and interpreted.

"Maria Vazquez is a brand that allows me to engage in this type of work because of the poetic dialogue expressed in the collections. In the Argentine fashion scene, these artistic displays are not easily assimilated as they don't always go hand-in-hand with consumerism."
