George Productions recently embraced an interesting set of castings that made for a break from its usual fashion and lifestyle campaigns.

"What I like about this kind of casting is you have to stretch outside of your normal comfort zone and explore more," explains Kim Handley. "This ends up taking you to places and people you'd never normally go to. For instance, the wrestling environment: casting these guys was hilarious, they take their appearance very seriously and give a performance in the first degree - and this was only for a casting! Asking them to go into wrestler mode for the camera was ear-shattering, with all the muscle pumping, sweating and growling that is involved. My whole crew had a blast!"

"From the wrestler character we then had to switch gears for the Shiman character, a totally different entity; quiet, serene, slow and purposeful. We were looking for someone who could hold a proper high-kick leg stance and also look good, which is a lot easier than it sounds."

"The hunters were another fun group to cast. All year long you see great looking people that you'd love to cast in something, and this was my chance to ask these guys to get into the white trash, gun-toting hunter mode. They certainly didn't disappoint! Some of them were so good we just let them keep rolling with their characters, as every facial expression, look and bon mot out of their mouths was hilarious. One of my favorite jobs by far!"

Emir Haveric and Jung von Matt Berlin teamed up with [zerone] to create the launch campaign for the new Mercedes S-Class. Emir shot the cars in-studio on seamless white, while [zerone] created the sets using solely 3D techniques. Cars and backgrounds were later combined in 2D.

The same approach was repeated for the new Audi Q7 campaign with Emir and agency Draft FCB. In this instance, additional car details had to be generated digitally and were later added to the photographic footage of the car in post.

For the Citroen C3 Picasso campaign Markus Wendler and [zerone] created seven individual car renderings to serve as a kit for the creatives at Euro RSCG to customise a series of individual ads.

The company is pleased to announce the opening in August of its new Duesseldorf branch. This is the third location added to the [Zerone] network offering the same quality services as the renowned Hamburg and New York studios.

"A breath of fresh air" is the comment most often heard when working with photographer Jeff Olson. His ability to capture beautiful images and his personable nature have greatly contributed to his success.

Jeff has been busy shooting advertising, celebrities, editorial and commercial projects, and the following images and commercials are a brief glimpse of his recent work.

New York and London-based photographer Timothy Hogan thrives on challenge. Whether in photography, film, or on his surfboard, nothing motivates him more than the thrill of a physical and personal challenge.

This motivation comes across in the diverse range of subjects he covers, whether jewellery, beauty, liquids, or a recent project exploring the way fire consumes luxury clothing. Regardless, each image displays precision and purity, where the subject is hero and relies on light and composition to draw out its inner beauty.

Tim recently shot projects for Visa, Glenmorangie, Tommy Hilfiger and Garrard, and will soon be launching a new motion section on his website.

Tim is represented in New York by Vaughan Hannigan and in London by Morgan Lockyer.
