Our first Monograph for David Ragg has just been published by Stichting Kunstboek. The stunning book features 40 new images created and produced in our photographic studio.
At a gala event, held in the Ramada Jarvis Hotel, Manchester, we won gold in the best use of Typography category for Skillset’s ‘Build Your Own MA’ campaign. For the campaign we used a series of adjectives that were created into a variety of objects.
Our second gold was awarded in the best use of Photography category for our national campaign to promote Skillset Academies. For the campaign we had a tick fabricated in various sizes and then dropped into different locations.
This campaign has already won gold at the Cream Awards 2010 for best use of photography.
The images will be lifesize and we wanted to make them feel strong and imposing. We shot the images outdoor and, unusually for a location shoot, hoped for rain, which thankfully we got. We used location lighting to highlight the models and to create a heavy contrast between them and the background.
David Ragg spent four days in the studio creating a range of beautiful displays that we’re photographing for inclusion in the latest Monograph publication by publisher Stichting Kunstboek.
David has also been commissioned to design the Interflora stand at this years RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
We were commissioned to design the new identity for Samson Print, a print consultancy company.
We designed a simple grid-based motif based around an abstract of S and P. We then selected a sapphire foil block for the motif and a clear foil blocking for the text.
We have just completed the re-design of Ed Balls’ website. The site is designed around Ed being able to continually comment on current issues and also utlises the images that we took when we spent a day with him earlier in the year.
Blame the System is a new clothing company who wanted images to use for general promotional activities.
The initial range of pre-production clothes was fairly limited so in order to create as much variety as possible, we decided to hang the clothes in a range of settings.
We’re delighted to announce that we’ve been shortlisted in two categories of the 2011 Roses Design Awards.
Our work for Skillset’s Build your own MA has been shortlisted for best use of Typography. For the campaign we developed a set of adjectives that were then created by using a variety of objects that were then shot on film, animated and photographed.
We were also commissioned to produce a national campaign to promote Skillset Academies. For the campaign we had a tick fabricated in various sizes and then dropped them into various locations.
This campaign has already won Gold at the Cream Awards 2010 for best use of photography.
We went to the Cream Awards 2010 on Wednesday night at the Jam House in Birmingham and after meeting some likeminded individuals, having some interesting conversations and a few too many beers walked away with a GOLD in ‘best use of photography’ for the Skillset ‘Pick the Tick’ campaign.
We are in the middle of a six week location shoot in the North East and the North West. Phil had a day off at the weekend and went to visit Antony Gormley’s ‘Another Place’. Another Place consists of 100 cast-iron, life-size figures spread out along three kilometers of the foreshore, stretching almost one kilometre out to sea. The Another Place figures – each one weighing 650 kilos – are made from casts of the artist’s own body and are shown at different stages of rising out of the sand, all of them looking out to sea.
I spent a couple of hours photographing Ed Balls in London yesterday for his Labour Party Leadership Contest website (launching tomorrow). It was quite hectic! A quick handshake and a ‘Hello’ then straight into shooting.
Mr SIlk and Mr Rowley are both on location this week. Mr Silk has been caught on camera and we think he’s got something of the ageing indie rock star about him.
The Royal College of Nursing have been in town for their annual Congress. Phil was on location with them for the day and photographed the Prime Minister. Today’s the day of the election and we’re wondering for how much longer Mr Brown will be PM.
All very exciting and we’re all trying to work out how long we can stay awake tonight and be able to function tomorrow.
We’re in the process of shooting a cover for a 10th anniversary brochure for the Malaysian Campus of the University of Nottingham.
We’ve built a small pond-like structure in the studio and using some elementary O-level (showing our age) physics, we‘ve managed to position the candles without them floating out of position, but still allowing us to capture the reflections in the water
We have just completed the design of Bournemouth Universities new Annual Review. We developed an online version, based around a media player, that told the story of the years achievements through 10 short films. Visit the site
