spotlight magazine Apr 2019 food & drink photography & motion
London: Phil Sills
"Hi, I’m Phil Sills. I shoot stills and video for drinks and technology. I love it, and have given my all in the last 25 years to crafting and understanding how images work best - how best to communicate your message.
Recently, I have been shooting for KEF, dCS, Electrolux, Bowers and Wilkins, Red Bull, Highland Park Whisky, Tenzing and not to forget Guinness! This series of images takes the viewer step by step through the process of the famous three-part pour. Pouring at 45 degrees onto the Harp, letting it settle and topping off the drink to create the beautiful creamy head we all know and love.
Watch the behind the scenes video of how we did it - great fun and guaranteed to make you thirsty!
Cheers for now!"

spotlight magazine Sep 2018 food & drink photography & motion
London: Phil Sills
"Hi, I’m Phil Sills. I shoot photography and video for moving pictures in the areas of drinks and technology. I love it, and I have given the last 25 years to crafting and understanding how images work best.
The great thing now is that shooting both stills and moving pictures I have the luxury of combining the two areas into my work flow. Cinemagraphs are great examples of how stills and moving footage can be physically combined to capture fun, exciting and dynamic looping motion within a hi resolution still. The following antique styled drinks cinemagraphs are such an example.
I hope you love these, and if you want to see more definitely check out my website for more great examples of stills and moving pictures."

"I am a video and photographic drinks specialist. In the age of social media marketing and digital media, I have to be flexible and use varied shooting techniques to convert the art director’s ideas into something real and meaningful.
Recently there has been a huge shift in how clients use images and so in turn I can proudly say that I provide video or stills, be it in the studio or on location. Engaging digital content for moving pictures is a very exciting area whether creating a short film, shooting looping video clips or animating stills for stop frame applications.

London: Phil Sills
"As a specialist London-based advertising photographer, my passion is in creating professional, inspired and luxurious photography. From a close-up shot of amber whisky as it swirls in the glass, or the graphic lines of a speaker, to the sumptuous delights of a metallic tweeter grille in a car interior. Whatever the subject, I look for that different angle to capture creative images. Eye-catching, energized images that sell the product for you.
Based from my London studio, I am equally at home creating my work under the studio lights or going on location. My advertising specialism focuses on liquid and drink photography, as well as high end luxury audio technology photography. I have a lively hyper-real photographic style that brings your products to life, whether the image is conceptual or a perfect product pack shot.
Recent clients are Bacardi, Bowers and Wilkins and BMW.
