ABOUT
OUT OF GAMUT STUDIOS

  • Crafted in Houston. Rooted in Vision. Designed for the Unexpected.

    Out of Gamut Studios is a creative practice that thrives at the intersection of art, and technology. Founded by an artist with deep roots in photography, printmaking, design, and motion, the studio brings precision and play together, offering a full spectrum of creative services that remain just slightly off-axis.

    We specialize in:

    • High-end photography and retouching

    • Fine art print production and digital negative workflows

    • Motion graphics and visual storytelling

    • Graphic design for print, screen, and identity

    • AI-generated visuals and hybrid workflows

    • Workshops for artists, designers, and curious creators

    Whether we’re helping a gallery produce a museum-quality print edition, designing layered visual assets for a music release, or teaching artists how to integrate AI into their creative practice, our goal is always the same: to elevate your vision with tools, craft, and ideas that go beyond the expected.

  • In color theory, “out of gamut” refers to a color that cannot be reproduced within the standard spectrum. At our studio, it’s a philosophy. We aim for what's outside the bounds. That means combining traditional techniques with emerging technologies, and honoring creative instincts that don't always fit inside the lines. We embrace what lives beyond the expected; outside the bounds of conventional tools, methods, or aesthetics.

    We’re not interested in staying inside the lines. We’re here to redraw them.

  • Every project is custom. We listen first, collaborate closely, and build with care. Need one‑off assets? Let’s make them shine. Planning an ongoing campaign or series? We’ll help shape the visual strategy. Want to learn the tools yourself? Our workshops are built to teach real-world workflows, not just buzzwords.

  • We collaborate with individuals, institutions, and brands on a range of creative projects:

    • Photography & Retouching
      Studio & environmental portraiture, editorial, production stills, image restoration

    • Fine Art Printmaking
      Digital negatives, archival inkjet prints, gum bichromate, cyanotype, Platinum Palladium, and more

    • Design & Motion Graphics
      Posters, title cards, key art, animated assets for musicians and filmmakers

    • AI-Driven Creative Workflows
      Concept generation, photoreal AI composites, print-ready renderings

    • Workshops & Training
      Teaching artists and teams how to use AI tools, digital print workflows, and alt process techniques

  • We’ve worked with photographers, printmakers, curators, designers, startups, musicians, filmmakers, and educators—anyone looking to make something meaningful.

  • Out of Gamut Studios was founded by Cotton Miller, a multidisciplinary artist, photographer, and designer with a background in fine art, printmaking, motion graphics, and digital media. With over 30 years of experience spanning commercial production, experimental media, and creative education, his work sits at the crossroads of analog craft and cutting-edge technology. Out of Gamut Studios was conceptualized as a single source for a variety of creative services. Born and raised amid the vibrant energy of Houston, Texas, Cotton is the vision behind Out of Gamut Studios, a creative haven that seamlessly intertwines traditional and contemporary artistic processes. Cotton's journey began with a passion for capturing the essence of life through a lens, eventually evolving into a multifaceted enterprise that transcends the boundaries of conventional artistic mediums. When not creating for clients, Cotton teaches workshops, develops creative tools, and experiments with hybrid processes involving AI and alternative printing.


    “I started Out of Gamut to create a space where curiosity, collaboration, and technical excellence can all live in the same frame.”
