About

Two brothers, a studio in Payerne, a collective.

Day was born in Payerne. Dan Schiumarini photographs and leads the visual direction; Dylan Schiumarini films and photographs in the field. Around them, a collective of hand-picked partners, brought in as each project requires.

The team

Those who do the work, and who decide.

At Day, the people you meet are the ones who do the work. No middleman, no sales layer.

What drives us

What doesn't change.

Swiss precision

We deliver what we promise, when we promise it. Details matter, in the images as much as in the relationship.

Value, not volume

Few clients, well served, for a long time. We would rather turn down an assignment than do it by halves.

True stories

No stock library, no forced staging. Your places, your people, your reality.

We know your company

Assignment after assignment, we learn your places, your conventions, your no-gos. Every project starts from there.

Awards and recognition

Frequently asked questions

What people ask us before we start.

How much does it cost?
Every assignment gets a fixed-price quote in Swiss francs, never by the hour. A one-day reportage, a corporate film or an identity each has its own price range: we'll give it to you at the first meeting. The Day One partnership starts at CHF 20,000 excl. VAT per year, in three budget tiers.
Do I have to go through Day One?
No. Most of our clients start with a one-off assignment. Day One comes later, when volume and regularity justify it. We will suggest it if it is in your interest, not before.
How long does it take?
A simple request is handled within 24 working hours. Photos are delivered within 7 days of the shoot. For a film or an identity, the schedule is agreed together at the start, and then stuck to.
Who owns the images?
You do, for all your communication needs, with no time limit. We simply keep the right to show them in our portfolio, unless you tell us otherwise.
Where do you work?
All over French-speaking Switzerland from our base in Payerne (Fribourg, Vaud, Geneva, Neuchâtel, Valais and Jura), and further afield when the project calls for it: we have filmed and photographed in German-speaking Switzerland and abroad.
How does it start?
With a 30-minute meeting. You tell us about your business, we tell you how we would look after its image, and you receive a quote within the week.

Let's talk

Ready to entrust your image to someone who will know it by heart?

30 minutes, no commitment. You tell us about your business, we tell you how we would look after its image.
