Where it started
Our story began on the Inca Trail in Peru.
In 2015, co-founders Henry Nathan and Ian Harper met by chance in the same trekking group. Over the course of a week hiking through the mountains, a connection formed.
What followed was the start of CP Creatives, a creative partnership shaped by trust, instinct, and a shared way of seeing the world. In 2025, we rebranded to Cala — a word rooted in place. It means “cove” in Spanish: a space shaped by its surroundings, much like the kind of work we set out to create.
Our story
Before becoming a production agency, Cala was a creative partnership rooted in travel and photography.
Sharing work with our +2M million followers on Instagram, we developed a visual style grounded in authenticity and a feel for place.
Over time, Cala organically grew into an end-to-end creative practice that’s intuitive, collaborative, and designed to reflect the character of every project.
What started simply continues simply. We keep growing by doing, learning, and evolving with each collaboration.
