Australia: Darren Capp Photography
A busy 12 months for Darren Capp and his team saw them flying east from Australia on a number of occasions.
Early days saw them shooting a large production of about 25 images for GM Chevrolet India, complete with a cast straight out of the United Nations comprising CD and agency personnel from Thailand, the client from Singapore and the local production people in India, not to mention Darren and crew from Australia. India being the heaving metropolis it is, finding locations that met the brief, relatively free of people as the car was yet to be launched, proved quite a task. In the end, private malls and a gated city provided the seclusion needed.
On top of travelling to China a number of times for Honda there was also a six-shot brief completed for Porsche Cayenne in southern Australia.
Here’s hoping 2018 continues on the same course!

Los Angeles: Jeff Ludes Photos
Finally released to the public is the new roadster version of BMW’s futuristic hybrid, the i8. Jeff Ludes spent part of his summer shooting it in Spain, taking the chance to really explore light and shadow, and to push the naturalistic look that he’s known for. Production Paradise member Sonda Productions ensured the whole thing went smoothly.
Shortly after returning home to LA, Jeff went into another large production, this time for Lincoln, to reveal the new Navigator. Working with talent was a key part of this shoot, and provided plenty of unexpected opportunities beyond the client’s shot list.
Jeff then headed to Portland to shoot a personal series with a beautifully blacked-out Harley-Davidson. After personally scouting and planning, Jeff’s team spent one day and into the evening shooting a huge range of locations all over town. Moving fast and light meant more variety, and more shots - too much to choose from can be a good problem to have!
