Team Brunel Volvo Ocean Race Photography in Lisbon

If you are into boats and sailing the Volvo Ocean Race is as good as it gets, described as the formula one of sailing! I was lucky enough to be asked by Magenta Films to join them in Lisbon, Portugal to shoot a series of portraits of the Team Brunel crew and supporting shots of the boat preparation. Magenta Filmsasked us to shoot everything on black and white analogue film as they wanted to create something a little bit more special than the norm. After the selections were made our local lab The Photo Parlour produced 60 beautiful dark room hand prints that are now exhibited in the Team Brunel visitors centre which is currently in Cape-town and will be travelling to Melbourne, Hong Kong, Auckland, Newport America, Brazil and many more legs of the race.

Red Bull Snowboard Shoot in Holland

Here's a few shots from my recent shoot for Red Bull in the Netherlands. The shoot was through the night at Snowworld in Landgraaf working alongside our friends at Magenta Films who were shooting the film for Red Bull. The guys at Red Bull wanted to go for something a little different so we shot on medium format black and white film. Although this is how we used to shoot everything, busting out the Mamiya RZ for the first time in a while was challenging and reminds you how comparatively easier digital photography is now. The positives of shooting on film - the results were amazing and you definitely feel like you have crafted something great.

Trefecta Shoot In Monaco

I was recently asked by our friends at Magenta Films  and design agency Conspiracysinc to take a trip over to Monaco to shoot stills for the prototype of an amazing bike designed by Trefecta whom claim a new category of vehicle, an electric superbike.  Trefecta have achieved military recognition for being highly suited for peace and stability operations.  To top it off the shoot was also during the time of the Grand Prix, so this was bound to be a little different.  What a location and a fabulous bit of kit to photograph too!

Once the location shoot in Monaco was complete, Trefecta came over to the UK for a shoot in our studio too.  Again working alongside our friends at Magenta Films who created some amazing footage of this bad ass bike.  Here are some shots for you to enjoy!
