We were thrilled to see both Yuki Sugiura and Rowan Fee nominated as finalists in this year’s AOP Awards. All of the outstanding work and well-deserved winners can be found by clicking the link here.

One of our favourite industry events, this year’s awards were hosted online, but we’re looking forward to seeing the finalist’s exhibition back once again at the main foyer of One Canada Square from January 11th 2021.

We worked on a great project with David Boni and GateLondon before lockdown –  to promote the launch of ‘London Power’ with the Mayor of London – a way of giving Londoners access to cheaper energy, using 100% renewable electricity, profits reinvested into community projects and making London a zero-carbon city. Add to this a shoot brief including pigeons AND parrots  – well what’s not to like?

To work on a project for a product you believe in, with great creative and a fantastic team is the unicorn of shoots, so we were delighted to shoot this – the only caveats were a tight budget and an even tighter shooting schedule – shooting both stills and moving image in a day, with some backplates shot in advance.

We even ended up working with bird royalty – the macaw that appeared in Paddington 2 – and had a lot of fun on set with stunt doubles, cheeky pigeons and some very noisy birds in the green room. Thanks, Street Studios for taking it all in your stride, to the creatives and producers at Gate London and of course, to all of our amazing bird wranglers/set builders/stylists/DOP/assistants and everyone else who helped to bring this all together.

When David Boni sent us his photo for the #stayhomeheroes campaign organised by the brilliant Lu Howlett, Dawn Moretti and Ross Taylor  we couldn’t stop laughing.  Which frankly, was just what we needed under the circumstances and we were delighted to see it on billboards across the country. 

We hope that the other people who saw it on the billboards and the papers felt the same  – that David’s haircut made them laugh and also raised money for this brilliant charity. If you want to donate too, here’s the link: https://www.helpthemhelpus.co.uk/donate/

David wrote a few words about how his haircut came about – take them as a warning…

When lockdown started in earnest and the whole world found itself wondering what was going on, it became instantly apparent that I and millions of others had another ( albeit trivial ) crisis to deal with: Hair.

I’d been too busy for a haircut for a couple of months, and by the time lockdown kicked it was out of control.  I’d pondered letting it grow out and maybe going for middle aged man bun or perhaps trying out the buzz cut I’d always fancied but both ( quite rightly ) were met with “no chance” by my amazing other half. Home haircut it was – Mel, my partner had time on her hands and was super keen to have a go.  Obviously I was reluctant, but now I was beginning to resemble Ken Dodd, so I caved in. Armed with a pair of really dodgy blunt scissors and my beard trimmer we sat in the garden and off she went. Focused and determined it all seemed to be going well until I decided to dish out some advice “you want to set the beard trimmer to 1.5mm” …

By the time she reached for the mirror and the customary big reveal, tears were running down her cheeks, this didn’t bode well. Why was she laughing? The mirror told me she’d done a good job, the front and sides looked professional in fact. I was an extremely happy customer but then I saw the back…

We ended up in fits of laughter for the first time since lockdown, a welcome relief just when we needed it and I love my haircut almost as much as I love my Mel.

Like everything else, the actual evening event was cancelled, but with the awards running live online,  we still dressed up with a glass of fizz to cheer on our photographers in style – even if we were at home in front of the computer! It was great to watch Steven Joyce’s painterly portrait of Sian Henley get highly commended in the “On the Phone” category and Rowan Fee’s exploding pomegranate being awarded 2nd place in the “Fujifilm award for Innovation”.  You can see all the winners here – hope it doesn’t make you too hungry:  https://www.pinkladyfoodphotographeroftheyear.com/finalists-gallery-2020/in a virtual gallery style view on their website: https://www.pinkladyfoodphotographeroftheyear.com/virtual-exhibition-2020/

This campaign promotes the National Library of Scotland’s free exhibition ‘Northern Lights: The Scottish Enlightenment.’From David Hume to Adam Smith, figures of the Scottish Enlightenment created, discussed and refined ideas that challenged established views and had a profound effect on the society we live in. Their ideas of science, philosophy, language and economics shook the world.
