About Us
InsideOut Studios has been successfully helping clients tell their stories and market their products through exceptional visuals for 24 years. We shoot both video and still photography "inside" the studio or, "out" on location. Located in the Minneapolis metro area, we have a convenient 5000 square foot, street level studio with a fully equipped kitchen, prop room, comfortable client areas, at-the-door free parking, loading dock, easy access to major freeways, multiple shooting bays, and best of all - nice people!
History
InsideOut began as a dream of three friends and co-workers - Scott Knutson, Rick Peters and a former partner. In the fall of 1994, they saw an opportunity to expand their horizons and approached their company's management with an offer to purchase the internal photo studio and essentially outsource themselves. It proved to be a win / win arrangement - they got to launch a new venture with the company becoming their first big client. Thus the name for the new studio - from "inside" the corporation to "out", on their own - InsideOut Studios!
That corporation is still a client, but obviously the horizons have expanded greatly over the years. InsideOut now provides photography and video for lots of clients across the country and have travelled extensively around the world. Rick Peters and Scott Knutson are the principal owners but the team has grown with the addition of product specialist, Pat Barry, people and lifestyle shooter, Jason Larson and account manager, Peggy Weller. The studio also benefits greatly from a loyal group of talented stylists and assistants who help make the operation run smoothly.
InsideOut is coming up on its 25th year, successfully serving agency, and corporate clients in Minnesota and around the world. The work speaks for itself and is stunning. And while photography equipment and technology have, and will continue to change, at InsideOut, the legacy of creating great work and having fun while doing it, never will.
