Chris Myhill has been busy over the spring completing eight images that were used as both campaign and dealer support for Ssangyong in the UK. This was a location project shot between the south-east of England and a very damp North Wales. The car was the hero of the shoot, but the environment and people involved were also designed to play an important part in the overall image.

Chris's most recent work has been for VW, shooting the new Passat CC in a London studio.

He is currently working on a studio project for Lexus to be shot in Belgium.

Peter is a pioneer in digital imaging. Since 1994 he has gained a great variety of digital experience, and in 1999 he published his first car projects for Toyota Europe.

For his current car projects Peter takes advantage of his vast experience producing web-specials, car configurations and product animation. Current clients include BMW, Bugatti, Honda, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz and Suzuki.

The outstanding feature of Peter's professional work is the excellent combination of his personal skills with those of his team, working in photography, CGI, postproduction and animation, and using individual workflows for higher efficiency and greater accuracy.
