IMAGING<br />
SHOOTER<br />
“Speedo has been a loyal client for me over the years. They tend to<br />
run similar kinds of stylized advertisements each year, and I get a<br />
lot of repeat business from them. This model is Charlie Turner, who<br />
at the time was one of the fastest swimmers in the UK and made<br />
a great model for the image. All the retouching was completed by<br />
the advertising agency in London that took over that side of things<br />
after I had completed the shoot in the swimming pool. Sometimes<br />
I do my own retouching and postproduction work in Photoshop,<br />
but often the clients prefer to execute their own vision. That’s one<br />
of the big differences between my personal work and commercial<br />
assignments.”<br />
“This image for Greenpeace was an exciting commission from the<br />
famous Saatchi & Saatchi advertising agency in London. They were<br />
pitching to Greenpeace for a marine conservation campaign, and<br />
I was lucky enough to land the job. Sadly, the image was never<br />
used, but we had great fun being in the water with the freedivers<br />
and making the shot. The shark was added in postproduction, but<br />
the cage and divers were all as shot. The cage was a specially<br />
commissioned aluminum construction that was very much full size.<br />
We used a crane to swing it into the sea from the deck of a large<br />
vessel. Last I heard the cage was being used in a Cyprus nightclub<br />
for a go-go girl to dance in.”<br />
