On the catwalk…
September 1st, 2010
We're seeing more and more bookings of late for catwalk photography and video, and our clients tell us that integrating such content into their e-commerce sites has done wonders for their conversion rates.
These behind-the-scenes shots are from just one of our recent catwalk fashion shoots; we're able to install a customised, branded catwalk module in any of our five studio spaces providing a dedicated space in which to capture your products looking their best.
So far we've resisted striding down the catwalk ourselves to the beat of Right Said Fred - we're saving that for the Christmas party...
Charlotte’s Leaving Speech: Live from Mumbai!
August 20th, 2010
Our CEO David Walter and MD Jayne Riley didn't let the small matter of them being 4566 miles away in our Mumbai office stop them from giving Charlotte a leaving speech this morning... complete with Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher masks no less (don't ask).
It’s a dog’s life…
August 13th, 2010
Working with children and animals is a bit of an occupational hazard when you run some of the largest photographic studios outside of London, and today was no exception...
Paul, Jen, Gareth and the team have spent the morning shooting for Oscar Pet Foods with some pretty well behaved pets.
We braced ourselves (what with it being Friday the 13th and all) but aside from two cats disappearing behind the scoop all went according to plan! Here are some behind-the-scenes shots for your viewing pleasure...
PS - You'll be glad to know that both cats were later safely recovered!
Homebase Treasure Hunt
August 12th, 2010
The Publications team from our client Homebase visited us up in Manchester recently for a quarterly review with a difference....
After getting the important stuff over with we took the team on a Manchester treasure hunt, starting at The Modern for Mojitos where we split into three teams - Superstars, Cops & Robbers and Pirates.
We were then sent around the streets of Manchester looking for clues - and of course stopping off at the occasional bar for refreshments.
We ended the day at the Great John Street Hotel where it was revealed that the Superstars had won, though all agreed that the Cops & Robbers won in the style stakes.
