The Kaplans are a New York based directing and creative duo. Sam is the man behind the lens and Laura is the creative engine. Their distinctive style translates the precision of stills lighting into motion utilizing a unique and masterful application of motion control robotics. When not obsessing over shots, The Kaplans are obsessing over food and hanging with the two small humans they created.
