CircleMedia
Creative post production
It’s clear from the work shown here that CircleMedia are automotive CGI / retouch specialists, with a client base including the likes of Porsche, Bentley, Ford and Seat.
But that’s only part of the story. What’s not immediately obvious from the imagery is that CircleMedia are just a two man team – one on CGI, one on retouch. Small enough to care, but experienced enough to cope with the most demanding of projects.
Being based just outside London allows them to keep costs down. Their level of involvement in campaigns has grown from simply being excellent practitioners of CG and retouch to being full-scale environmental architects - creating unique and original spaces that fit a brief.
Now represented by CRXSS Agency, get in touch to discuss what CircleMedia can design and build for you.

Dean Northcott Photography
Sport and Lifestyle Photographers
Dean Northcott has had a very busy and successful year with both his personal and commissioned work. His fresh, vibrant new personal style saw him as a finalist at the 2019 AOP awards and a winner at the 2019 Colour Awards. This led to exciting commissions in his commercial work with advertising shoots for O2 Arena, HM Government and Hendrick’s Gin, amongst others.
Born in New Zealand, Dean was raised on a diet of sport, barbeques and beach. After several years of world travel in his early 20s during which he developed his sense of aesthetics, he arrived camera-in-hand in London in the early 90s and went on to study photography at LCP.
A former semi-pro rugby player, a third dan black-belt in karate and marathon runner, sport is at the epicentre of Dean's entire life and this is exemplified in the mood and texture of his work.

Patrick Clarke
Interiors & exteriors photographers
“Looking at and capturing details can be therapeutic, as I experience a strong sense of the macrocosm and microcosm, reminding me of my place in the universe.
The artist/designer or architect pours their energy into each part of a project and each part when looked at independently may be as beautiful as the whole. It is a reminder of the journey and of how many infinite variables there may be to reach the same goal.
I compose my photographs by looking through the lens and assessing factors related to symmetry/asymmetry, lighting contrast, complimentary colour grouping, repetition of form, inferred meaning, human interaction. There is a silent understanding, a sense of connection, in that moment my world feels uncomplicated.”
