LISBON ISSUE 53 Jun 2006

Simon Frederick is an English photographer based in Lisbon, working in the areas of advertising, fashion, music, landscapes as well as personal commissions.

In 2005, he set up Seven Visual, a photography production company specialising in creative real photography, art direction, pre-production and post-production together in a new, modern 2,000 square metre studio in Lisbon's Graça district.

Simon says that he is particularly interested in working with clients "who have the vision to commission original imagery that creates an affinity with and touches the people that it is ultimately aimed at."

Recent work includes projects for EMI Portugal, creating the cover images for five CDs called “Five Stars”, a compilation of the favourite music selected by five members of the Portuguese World Cup squad. The campaign includes press ads and website. A film crew followed the shooting sessions in Lisbon, London and Milan. The images are currently airing on Portuguese TV and the CDs are available throughout Portugal.
