London: Ross Woodhall
"My name is Ross Woodhall. I shoot stills and produce and manage moving images globally, creating content that captures genuine moments for lifestyle and sports brands, agencies and clients."
This Spotlight features a collection of images produced for bohemian hat brand Bask & Groove.
"They were all shot in Northern Ibiza. The shoot brief was: keep it natural, loose and fluid, which is exactly what we did.
It was a two part shoot, we did recce days before the shoot days, the client hired an utterly amazing rustic finca to use as a base and a location and arranged to use a boutique and very hip boho hotel in Portinatx as another location.
Once again we shot tethered wirelessly and had one happy client.
I collaborate with producers, location managers and production teams worldwide. We cater to all briefs and budgets. Please contact me to discuss your next project."

Mitchel Gray New York sports photographers
Mitchel has done over hundred covers, a thousand editorial pages, ads, and web pages, created two best-selling coffee table books, had several NYC (and elsewhere) art gallery shows, and a bunch of videos – all with spectacular athletes, actors, and models.
But for this edition he is doing something different. Throughout his career, whenever he has been on location he has enjoyed shooting images of the places he has been – landscapes- and now he has decided to share a few. All the Bodies - 'In Action', 'At Rest', and 'Intertwined' are still his main focus, as are the portraits of celebrities, athletes, models, performers, and real people. And they are always viewable at the links below.
The 'Bodies in Action' photos feature pro athletes, film and TV stunt people, and spectacular dancers from great companies. Note that in each photo that appears to have more than one person in it, it is actually the same person in tandem with themselves.
Follow Mitchel on Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook to see his latest work, and check his previous Production Paradise features to see a selection of images.
Mitchel’s video partner is Sam Schmitz. -
