cars & landscape photography Feb 2009

With a global reputation as one of the leading car photographers, Carl Lyttle has made the transition to 3D imagery and has naturally become a leading proponent of CGI. He has recently worked on a number of CGI projects, including campaigns for Nissan and Toyota.

Carl loves what can be achieved creatively with correct vision, clever use of good landscape photography and photo realistic CGI production. For him there is real excitement in the way the industry has adapted and integrated with the world of CGI.

Photographer Daniel Infanger recently returned from two location shoots for Volkswagen. The images will be published later this spring. He also shot for Toyota Auris at his Swiss studio, and the images have just been released.

His recent work for the cover of Tissot t:trend with the Swiss motorcycle racer Tom Lüthi has also just been published. Included in this Spotlight are a selection of new landscape images and the latest three covers for Mercedes Magazine International.

Daniel's client list includes Mercedes, Toyota, Lexus and Volkswagen.

Be sure to check out his website to see more examples of work, along with a full client list.

Daniel is represented in Germany by Markus Breuer Photographenagentur.

Frank Kayser has spent a lot of time on the road over recent months, travelling around the world directing shoots for Audi, Red Bull, Lamborghini, Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz in locations as diverse as Kazakhstan, Iceland, Japan, China and Australia. He also had front-row seats to document the launch of a space rocket in Baikonur, his team being the first to be granted permission to record the event.

Frank earned his reputation through the unique style and intonation of his work. Familiar subjects are seldom found in his images, and his shooting method leads to pictures that exude a powerful strength and clearly defined sense of improvisation. Shooting for Lamborghini on an aircraft carrier was one of the break-through images of his career.

Featured in this Spotlight are scenes from his production for the new Audi R8 V10, along with a selection of photos for Volkswagen and Lamborghini, shot in Portugal and Japan respectively.

Recent campaigns by George Logan include:

Diageo for BMB London, Aviva for SFW London, Motorola for TBWA New York, Ford for Ogilvy London, HSBC for JWT London, Corona for Cramer Kraselt Chicago, Bennetts for VCCP London, Ribena for M&C Saatchi London, Yazoo for WFCA UK, AT&T for BBDO Atlanta.

Current personal projects have taken George to Cameroon, Namibia, Churchill in Canada, and the Red Road Flats in Glasgow.

2009 will see the launch of his first published book accompanied by an exhibition in London.

The photographer is now represented in the UK by Alyson Jones.
