Hi — We’re Phonso Studios,

a New York–based creative production company rooted in story, culture, and community impact. With over 10 years of combined experience in photography, videography, editing, and media training, we create cinematic visuals that elevate brands, document milestones, and amplify voices that deserve to be seen and heard.

Founded by Isiah Alphonso, Phonso Studios was built on the belief that storytelling is a tool for transformation. From global brand campaigns and investor-backed Kickstarter launches to trusted NYC DOE partnerships, our work bridges commerce and community. We produce with intention — blending strategy, creativity, and execution to create visuals that move audiences and generate real-world results. Our work spans commercial, experiential, and cultural storytelling, with clients including Coexist Gaming, Hewlett-Packard, Google, Estée Lauder, Bayer Aspirin, Genshin Impact, and New York Liberty Cruises.

Beyond production, we are deeply committed to youth empowerment and mentorship, with a particular focus on supporting young men’s mental health and creative network access for all. That commitment materialized as The Space, Brooklyn, NY — a multi-use creative safe haven for arts, collaboration, and cross-networking. For two years, it served as a hub for creators, entrepreneurs, and youth before closing in December 2022 when the leased location was no longer available for renewal. Though the physical space closed, the mission continues: build access, cultivate community, and create pathways where none previously existed.

At our core, Phonso Studios brings more than cameras to the table. We bring perspective. We bring cultural awareness, structured execution, and an unwavering standard of excellence. Whether partnering with educational institutions, corporations, founders, or creatives, we don’t just capture moments — we build narratives that inspire growth, connection, and lasting impact.
