Less time on the steps in between.
More time for the work you love.
For the photograph you feel.
The story you want to tell.
The work only you can make.
MEET YOUR NEXT TOOLS
From the first frame to the next handoff.
Explore what we’re building.
Kreative SelectA considered selection starts with your eye. Review photos and video, compare the details, and organize the moments that tell your story.
Kreative GridsShape a composition before it becomes a finished image. Build guides around the way you see, with editable layers and transparent overlays.
Kreative BoothA simpler way to share photographs at an event. Pair a Mac control workspace with an iPad viewer for guest browsing and photo selections.
Kreative RelayWe’re developing a way to carry files and their context between Kreative Tools—so moving forward means less repeated setup.
Our apps are in development and aren’t publicly available yet. Features, compatibility, pricing, and release dates will be confirmed at launch. Relay’s connected app workflow is still being developed.
OUR MISSION
Great tools should help you stay with the work.
Kreative Tools is an independent studio founded by photographer and filmmaker Rudy Salgado. It grew from a familiar feeling: too much time spent sorting, repeating, and moving things around, when all you want is to create.
We’re building focused tools to make those steps easier. Select helps you find the frames. Grids helps you shape the composition. Booth brings photographs into the event experience. And with Relay, we’re working toward connecting the pieces.
Your originals deserve care. Your decisions deserve respect. Your tools should give you room to do your best work.
THE PERSON BEHIND THE TOOLS
Meet Rudy Salgado.
Rudy is a Los Angeles–based photographer and videographer whose work spans concerts, fashion, events, artists, and brands. His approach puts emotion, timing, and storytelling at the heart of an image.
Kreative Tools grows out of that same practice: the hours spent reviewing frames, organizing a shoot, refining an edit, and getting the work ready to share. Rudy is building the tools he wants beside him through that process—and shaping them for fellow creatives.
Explore Rudy’s workA LITTLE MORE TO KNOW
We’re developing and testing the first releases. There is no announced launch date yet. Release news and availability will be shared here as each tool is ready.
Select and Grids are being developed for Mac. Booth pairs a Mac control app with an iPad viewer. Relay is an early local transfer prototype; integration between the apps is still being developed. Final system requirements and supported workflows will be published with each release.
No. Our approach is to support review, organization, and creative work while keeping you in control. Assisted suggestions should be reviewable, and your own decisions should remain authoritative.
Pricing and licensing have not been announced. We’ll publish clear details before any product becomes available to purchase.
Absolutely. Tell Rudy about your workflow, the repetitive tasks that slow you down, or the tool you’d like to try. Use the contact link below; any future testing opportunities will be announced separately.
BUILT FROM THE WORK. SHAPED BY YOU.
We’d love to hear what slows you down,
what inspires you, and what you wish your tools could do.
