London - Los Angeles: Anton Watts

Since our last Cars and Landscape Spotlight in September, photographer, director and content creator Anton Watts has delivered multiple projects, with an obvious emphasis on CGI during the lockdown months we all found ourselves in.

First up was a CGI campaign with Team One for the Lexus ISF, followed by two CGI shoots with Saatchi for Toyota in San Francisco and Downtown LA. Anton also shot the new Acura MDX with Mullen in Lake Tahoe, and the Genesis GV80 with Innocean. Additionally with Innocean, Anton shot the stills campaign and directed the launch film for the all new 2021 Hyundai Tucson.

Anton finished the year with two more Code Red projects, again shooting stills and directing four films. These are currently embargoed, but will be shown in the next Spotlight.

London: Harniman

"The current climate and restrictions have created situations that inspired a new form of creativity, and ironically, elevated our work. The smaller the box you are put in, the more inventive you have to be to think outside of it, seeing and capturing things in new ways and from different perspectives. 

With that, as a new and potentially more optimistic year dawns on us, we’re eager to share latest projects with you: a fun, dynamic mixture of work with great teams from various agencies and production companies, always for exciting brands and always with forward motion in mind. 

Highlights from Ford, Maserati and Rolls-Royce.

Los Angeles: David Masemore

David closed out 2020 highlighting the Subaru Legacy 3.6R in Raleigh, NC. The goal of the campaign was to naturally showcase the vehicle in an urban setting. Faced with a tight deadline and Covid related logistical challenges, David was able to effectively coordinate a small team to produce both images and motion in record time.

Additional images presented in this Spotlight issue include automotive-lifestyle work of the Honda Civic in Long Beach, CA, Tesla Model X in San Diego, CA, IMSA Motorsports highlights from Road Atlanta, BMW M5 in Downtown LA, and a collection of Porsche images utilising different lighting attributes. 

A true lover of cars and the humanistic interaction between people and the automobile, David strives to push boundaries and is always thinking ahead. No matter the challenges, David and his team are here to deliver going into 2021! You can view more of David’s work on his website.

Los Angeles: Jeff Ludes

Under new safety protocols, Jeff and his team shot successfully throughout the remainder of 2020. One of the first big shoots to put new safety measures in place was Jeff’s project for the Hyundai Elantra, shot over eight days in the LA area. With a mix of agency and clients both on-set and viewing remotely, the team shot a wide variety of images, with real-life couples as talent.  

Below the California desert skies and into the night, Jeff shot with the Acura team, for a special edition of their NSX supercar.  Once the shot list was all checked off, Jeff pushed a bit further, coming home with some dramatic bonus shots that weren’t expected at the outset, but turned out to be the highlights of the project.

But the most remote project lately was Jeff’s personal shoot of a classic 911 Turbo, speeding across a snow-covered Jackson Hole. With the vehicle being produced in CGI by Mainworks in Germany, it was a great way to welcome the winter, and now to kick off 2021!
