Amy Currell
London
Photographer and director Amy Currell was born in East London, where she lives and works. Her still life photography and moving image is shot through a distinctively female lens, and each frame is composed with thoughtfulness and grace – artfully juxtaposing colour and texture, shape and shadow.
Amy’s 13 years of experience mean she has acquired a highly technical and creative team – from set designers to retouchers. Together, they have composed striking images for Vogue, Selfridges and Liberty London, and award-winning campaigns for the likes of IKEA, each brimming with creativity and a sense of playfulness.

Fabric
London
Fabric Studios is a boutique retouching and CGI studio based in London.
"We are a small team of creatives with very big ambitions, and have had the pleasure of working with some amazing clients both UK-based and internationally.
Some of the clients and brands we have created work for include Jaguar, Nutribullet, Samsung, Chivas Regal, Hydralyte, Delta Airlines and Sony.
We, at Fabric, craft our visuals using a combination of both traditional photography and CGI and have many years' experience in both these areas. Fabric was founded by award winning still life photographer and retoucher Mark Zawila, who made the difficult decision in 2015 to put the Hasselblad aside to focus solely on the post-production side and delve even further into the possibilities of CGI, including animation."

Boom CGI
London
The BOOM team specialise in CGI illustration and animation, including character design, CGI modelling, texturing, animation and retouching for some of the largest global brands, including Apple, Coca-Cola, Gillette and Nike. In this Spotlight you will find two new projects: The Creative Healthcare Awards 2022 and Assos.
For the official opening title sequence for this year's Creative Healthcare Awards, words like elegance, beauty and awe would describe the style that BOOM wanted to identify with the Brick Award. Despite being notoriously known for being the toughest healthcare competition, the majestic prowess the Brick trophy itself encompasses cannot be denied. Visual effects, dynamics and cinematic camera transitions were perfectly balanced to create this masterpiece.
The Assos of Switzerland project was a collaborative piece that combines both CGI and live action shots. BOOM worked closely with the Identity Agency in order to create an electromagnetic aesthetic carried throughout the film, to emphasise the magnetism and innovation of the women’s bib shorts - designed with a magnetic closure system to provide more freedom and comfort whilst cycling.
BOOM have developed a thorough understanding of how to craft an image to communicate the right message and captivate the consumer. It’s no surprise that the team have been working together for almost ten years. Their keen eye on innovation and trends has earned them a place among the top commercial digital artists in the world.Boom CGI is represented by JSR.
