In an exciting collaboration with Genesis USA and MotorTrend, Lisa and her work were featured in a documentary series released in the fall. Her location of choice was the Glamis Sand Dunes, where she captured images of the new GV80 in action.

You can take a look at the full video here.

Lisa also travelled from California to Oregon, where she was able to capture the new Land Rover Discovery alongside the beautiful coast - a very different look that you get in Southern California. 

Another project Lisa worked on was a shoot for Kia, Innocean USA and Porch House. Lisa was able to work with talent and capture the car static as well as in motion.

Los Angeles-based photographer, director and content creator Anton Watts has been extremely busy during the past months. 

In May Anton directed a CGI campaign for the Lexus ISF with Team One, shot the new Acura MDX in Lake Tahoe with Mullen, followed by a couple of CGI shoots for Toyota with Saatchi in San Fransico and downtown LA. 

That pretty much took Anton through to October where he shot the stills campaign and directed the launch film for the All New 2021 Hyundai Tucson. 

In December Anton had a couple more Code Red projects that involved shooting stills and directing four films which will be out of embargo for the next issue of Production Paradise.

"I’m Rebecca, a food, beverage and product photographer based in Los Angeles with more than a decade of experience behind the camera. 

I’ve worked in an array of specialties over the years including: beauty, portraiture, cosmetic product and now focused on food and beverage. This unusual path has honed my skills, on set problem solving, food and product styling, set creation, and on the fly posing, resulting in a pretty well rounded versatility and kept me quick on my toes! It also helped me manage the drama of 2020, during which I was able to transition into remote shooting, independently style shoots and created an on hand prop archive to help accommodate shoots when prop sourcing was challenging. 

Since food is supremely important, to respect it properly I strive to avoid harmful food styling tricks that will render the food inedible and whenever possible donate leftovers from set as I know firsthand how prevalent food scarcity is in all of our communities. 

I’m also reasonably fun."

Nathan is a photographer specialising in automotive and transportation photography, capturing and presenting the motion and emotion they process. His home base of Denver, Colorado provides close proximity to mountains and outdoor adventure, which translates to the natural feel of his work. 

A highlight of 2020 included chronicling the rollout and build process of the Boom Supersonic XB-1 Supersonic Demonstrator. Nathan captured photography and video of the build of the plane during actual testing and assembly, working with the highly skilled team to create content while not interfering with the production timeline. 2020 marked the fourth year working with Team Acura for the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, a favourite event where motorsport and nature merge.
