Superstudio and Patrik Johall were assigned by Volvo to deliver print elements media in relation to “The Future is Electric” global campaign.

Adhering to the framework of a strong creative film concept, Superstudio produced still images that supported and expanded the settings and expressions in the campaign.

The stills were to be perceived as part of the film and were also to be used as stand-alone campaign images, so Superstudio’s expertise in the field of automotive photography was beneficial in expressing the product and locations in a broader delivery that could be used independently.

The field of scope included props and location casting. The social media campaign deliverables included conceptual development in cooperation with the client.

James Holm has been working as a professional photographer since the mid-'90s. His photography area has always been influenced by his interests in life. It started with skateboarding and then moved on to snowboarding and the search for the endless winter. After hundreds of travel days in winter landscapes, his interest in cars started to grow bigger and bigger which brought him to where he is today.

To describe his photography he often uses the words 'action related lifestyle photography'. All the years working as a professional photographer has given him high creativity and a fast workflow with high quality.

James is based in Stockholm, Sweden, where he has his office, but most of the time he's travelling abroad using the natural environment as his workspace.

He went on to work as a photographer's assistant in Copenhagen and started up his own business in Gothenburg 1996.
