There’s a new kid on the block for off road adventure – the brand new Ford Bronco Outer Banks…man what a good looking vehicle and great spec. The only down side – from what I can see, Ford have no plans to bring it to the UK – nooooooo! We could have soooooooo much fun shooting this! Anyhow…back to Jeep. Glencoe, Brian, Matt & Bri, a few whiskies, one major hangover, well perhaps two, epic locations and analogue film.

Today, in a world where we all talk about 1 minute, 30 second edits and 10 second cut downs, talking about press ads seems a bit like talking about scribing on a slate board. Back in the ‘90’s…and those iconic Jeep press & billboard campaigns were everywhere you looked – magazines, newspapers, 48 sheet, 96 sheet billboards… Shot for purpose – 96 sheet, this is also how it appeared in the press. My photography ad campaign journey moved to the wilds of Scotland with fresh-faced young creatives Matt & Bri and senior creative Brian Connolly at DFB London. Mad times – just before lockdown, Matt, Bri and I are collaborating once again – shooting cars together 22 years on! When it works, it just works. This time with Ford – fresh-faced new images dropping soon!

BC – Before Carbon Fibre and where sheep are scared… When Billboards were king – part 11 Analogue Archive #Photography – the nineties! Location – deepest Wales Client – Subaru UK Agency – Wallis Tomlinson UK The team – Geoff Tomlinson, George Wallis, Jon Harrison, Rich Elwell, Martin Parkes, Steve Price, Tracey Wheeler Usage – print ad & billboard campaign Back in the dim distant early ’90’s, there was a new fangled photographic technique…rig. The only way forward was Trilite – my what a pain in the arse to set the shot and make it sharp. The first is always special 🙂 and this was no exception! My first rig shot for press ads – even the sheep were intrigued by the slightly Heath Robinson Trilite rig – forerunner to the slicker carbon fibre number developed a few years later. Can’t beat location shooting in Wales – windy roads for dynamic rig shots and stunning locations. It was location of choice for the team – Geoff, proper old school agency boss – I’d often get a call for a new model launch shoot from the pub across the square from the agency offices. What a dude. I’d ask what the brief was, he’d just say ‘bring enough Polaroid & film for two weeks’… This one turned into six… Camera Sinar Norma 5×4 Lens Schneider 120mm Fuji Velvia Quickload film Polaroid Trilite Rig #subaru #legacy #4×4 #analogue #archive #analoguearchive #filmphotography #automotivephotography #rigphotography #locationphotography #sinar #5×4 #5x4camera #fujifilm #fuji #polaroid #thinkdifferently #harniman #photographyisart #drivetastefully #wales

To cone or not to cone, that is the question! Analogue Archive #Photography 2001 Location – Toulon Client – Renault UK Agency – Publicis London Creative Director – Stephen Glenn (aka Glenny) Country lane, 10km up a dead end going nowhere in the hills above Toulon. Permits arranged, arrive on set 4am, would you believe it – a 3 door hatchback parked in a lay-by right in frame. We wait, we call out, we scout around to try & find the driver, no joy. Only one thing to do, come on lads, we need to move it. Time to pick up a car. Car moved around the corner, hero car in position, rig & cameras set. All good, sunrise, shoot, close to wrapping when a couple of jovial Gendarmes arrive on set with wry smiles on their faces. The officers of the law are intrigued by the piece of carbon fibre with a large camera strapped to the end and attached to the latest Scenic We chat about car photography. Then we ask why they have dropped up to see us… Turns out the 3-door hatch owner was a Bird Spotter – heard noise near his car, crept back through the trees to investigate, saw a group of guys ‘stealing’ his car & decided to make it on his toes, 10 km trek down to the local gendarmerie to report it. In typical French style, the Gendarmes hadn’t given the poor guy a lift – with a Gallic shrug they said, ‘he walked down, he can walk back up’! After a couple of coffees with us on set, they were on their way. The moral of this story – always cone off your location on the tech recce!

The Frogs Bollocks pt 2 – Size Matters 2000 Analogue Archive #Photography Location – nr. Charles De Gaulle Airport, Paris, France Client – Renault France Agency – Publicis Paris Reps – Cosmos Paris – Francoise, Pierre-Henri & Christian Creative Director – yours truly As the ad says ‘As broad and squat as a bull terrier, aggression oozes from every vent and intake’. Few other small cars of this era were packing a 24 valve, 3 litre engine, so in this case yep for sure ‘Size Matters’. Bizarre to think that in 2000 it was still early days of the internet in advertising – in the days of the dinosaurs when print magazines, books & brochures were pretty much as small scale as imagery was viewed. Images seemed a bit more meaningful, as they were viewed for longer rather than being scrolled past after a few seconds. It was ironic that we were shooting images to be seen in a limited edition art book format, but was ultimately run as 96 sheet and 48 sheet billboards – part of the Renault Clio ‘Size Matters’ press campaign in 2000. …And you don’t get much bigger than that folks 😉 Camera Sinar Norma 5×4 Lens Schneider 120mm Fuji Velvia Quickload film Polaroid Carbon Fibre Rig #renault #sport #clioV6 #publicis #paris #analogue #archive #analoguearchive #filmphotography #automotivephotography #rigphotography #35mmfilm #MamiyaRZ #6×7 #sinar #5×4 #5x4camera #35mmcamera #fujifilm #polaroid #thinkdifferently #harniman #photographyisart #drivetastefully #presscampaign #billboards #behindthebillboard #sizematters #vavavoom

‘Get out your mat and pray to the west’ Analogue Archive #Photography Location – LA Client – Volvo S80 2004 Part 4 Agency – SCP Göteborg Sweden Creative Director – Johan Svantesson Paul Weller said in the 1979 Jam classic Eton Rifles… ‘Get out your mat and pray to the west’ The big man in the sky came across with the big light, we couldn’t pray for rain as well that would be too much to ask, but instead we had Eddie & his water truck on set. Praying is not an option when you are crafting a style, a look, a feel over a suite of images. As in fashion, things go around, in the very early 2000’s the combination of rig and graphic structures was ‘on trend.’ Crafting images with graphic shape and form. Shiny sheet metal was the current style, just as wrapping cars to matt black was for a ‘gangsta’ look a few years back – everything moves on… just like HDR effects, heavy use of the clarity slider… Next up, a car in a lounge… Camera Sinar Norma 5×4 Lens Schneider 120mm Fuji Velvia Quickload film Polaroid Carbon Fibre Rig #volvo #analogue #archive #analoguearchive #filmphotography #automotivephotography #rigphotography #35mmfilm #MamiyaRZ #6×7 #sinar #5×4 #5x4camera #35mmcamera #fujifilm #polaroid #thinkdifferently #harniman #photographyisart #drivetastefully #losangeles #SCPGrey

Light it up Hollywood Stylee Chrysler 300C December 2003 Part 3 Analogue Archive #Photography Location 1 – an airfield in Mojave Location 2 – under a tree in LA Liquid light – the quality of light in Mojave in December is amazing. And yes, we can make it rain in the desert. But, if the big man in the sky doesn’t come across with the goods, sometimes you need to get the big guns out, and light it up Hollywood Stylee. Order in the most mahoosive cherry picker you can get you hands on, get the sparks to attach an 18k light to it then poke it through the trees. Tie up some camo netting, add some atmos & ‘Bob’s your uncle, Fanny’s your aunt and Robert’s your fathers brother’ – you’ve created a great drop of light! Simples.

A ‘Saving Private Ryan’ style production Chrysler 300C December 2003 part 2 Analogue Archive #Photography Locations – LA & the Mohave Desert, CA, USA A cast of thousands – OK, I exaggerate slightly – a hundred or so extras. Talk about movie style production. Police, watertrucks, cherry pickers, ‘comfort facilities’ and catering, extras, chaperones for the kids, stylists, props, car rig – all for a stills shoot. Ricardo was set the task of finding a downtown location with a side street and corner cafe. That wasn’t the end of the production, everyone in shot needed to be model-released. The only way to do that was to close the street, close the block and populate the scene with talent. Everyone you see in frame is positioned & orchestrated, down to the cyclist, second 300C car, customers in the cafe – all in the planning, great job Ricardo & team!

American Bentley Looky-likey? Part 1 Chrysler 300C December 2003 Analogue Archive #Photography Locations – LA & the Mohave Desert, CA, USA Talk about a co-incidence – we were asked to shoot the 300C very shortly after the launch images of the Bentley Continental GT broke in 2003! Maybe it WAS true that Chrysler had the desire to be the US Bentley, and thought using the same UK photographer would be a good move…any thoughts out there?? I will of course remain completely impartial 😉 To quote Drake from ‘Keep the family Close’…. "Always saw you for what you could've been / Ever since you met me / Like when Chrysler made that one car that looked just like the Bentley" The first shot in the series here from LA was used as the movie poster for Harrison Ford’s ‘Firewall’ – anyone seen it?

Lost and Found Jaguar E-Type 9600 HP – shot early ‘90’s…exact date lost in the mists of time. No metadata on Analogue film! Analogue Archive #Photography Location – a barn that shall remain nameless A pal phones up, tells me a friend of his Philip Porter, would like a few shots of a rather special car languishing in a barn. So I turned up in the middle of Shropshire and there was 9600HP. THE actual car that launched the E-type at Geneva in ’61. I wont wax too lyrical about the detail – when you know, you know 😂… Jaguar built just a handful of E-types prior to launch. All apparently scrapped except one…registration 9600 HP. Move on 30 years, another call – I love these sort of calls – Victoria Finn was taking delivery of one of the ‘Missing Six’ Lightweight E-Types – needed a film and stills. A few more phone calls later and we had folks on board – drivers Martin Stretton and Katrina Kyvalova and the world famous Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb.

Bridge over the M42 Beirut to Birmingham part 3 Jaguar X-Type 2004 Analogue Archive #Photography Location – Birmingham Birmingham used to be a bit of a dump – I am allowed to say that, as my wife is a local, frequenter of music venues, went to Uni there and still loves ‘Brum’ 🙂 2004 and the city was still at the beginning of a major ongoing facelift, which made for great location potential, some ace new buildings and a city location permitting department happy for us to show it all off. So we headed for the rooftop car park of Selfridges, Brindleyplace, Centenary Square, a bridge near the M42… and filled our boots with spangly new backgrounds for X-Type press ads all a stones throw from Jaguar and the ad agency.

Instagram stylee before Instagram Jaguar RD-6 Concept 2003 Beirut to Birmingham part 2 Analogue Archive #Photography Location – The Forge, Kidderminster, UK The phone rings & its Simon R from Jaguar saying he has a brand new Concept car for me to shoot, I’m all in! He introduced me to Ken McConomy and PM Richard Agnew & we got the lowdown. This one was a cracker – the Jaguar RD-6 concept, brainchild of young fresh faced designers Mr Julian Thomson, Mr Alister Whelan & Mr Matthew Beaven no less. Ken arranged the Mailbox location in Birmingham city centre for day 2. For shoot day 1 Julian, Alister, Matt & I chatted through the brief, they envisaged a ‘Sin City’ type location, derelict, dirty & downright grungy. I found the most amazing place, empty for years – a disused foundry in Kidderminster used to forge cranks for destroyers & Cosworth pistons. What a find! Press pack done. All in a few weeks, briefed, shot, processed, printed. Simples. Next stop, Birmingham and a bridge.

Beirut to Birmingham part 1 Jaguar Generation X-Type 2001 Analogue Archive #Photography Location – Beirut, Lebanon Shoot date September 11, 2001, a day forever etched in the history books. How things have changed since then including photographic styles, but more on that in a moment! Final day of a six day shoot – fantastic production by Joyce & team at City Films, everything ran to plan – superb set builds & lighting for the souk shot, great model (Rita) casting, wardrobe from Armani & Prada. Our final shot location was outside the TV station – suddenly everything went bonkers – we could hear raised voices and a crowd gathered. Someone said, you must see what’s going on, so we dashed inside & were transfixed to the screens which were full of live images from the Twin Towers… We returned to set, now a massive crowd, flags being burnt and a very, very uneasy atmosphere. Time to head back to the hotel sharpish. End of shoot. As you know, all flights ceased for a while, we were stuck in Beirut – but I must say, what a stunning city. Somewhere I would very much like to return when post CV19 normality (whatever that is) returns. So yes, the lifestyle imagery is 2001, and as I said at the beginning, how things have changed. Let’s bring it up to date 2020 and new Ford Backbone of Britain portraits which we shot pre-lockdown. The first few dropped on social yesterday, so watch this space.

Long rig, dirt tracks – a photographers worst nightmare! Ford Expedition 2001 part 1 Florida keys, Everglades, Moab, Bonneville Salt Flats Analogue Archive #Photography Location – Canyonlands National Park Utah USA Micheal Purcilly our producer had been out & recced this location & shot one of these new-fangled pano things back in 2001 on his just purchased digital camera 🙂 The client loved the creative of huge landscape, small car lost in the environment, so we set about making that work. Pull out a massively long rig – 60 feet to be precise, to get this amazing vista – Shafer Canyon in all it’s glory! Imagine, a huge section of trilite and carbon fibre, 5×4 camera strapped to one end, and not the usual billiard table smooth tarmac we all love for rig shots to produce a pin sharp transparency. Rocks, gulleys and generally undulating terrain, add to the mix that it was an early morning shot, so road surface prep by the guys was started before dawn! Nailed it team, back for breakfast – Bingo!

Inside the Eye of Wisdom Bentley Flying Spur Prototype part 8 Analogue Archive #Photography Location – Valencia, Spain 2004 Client – Bentley Motors UK Agency – Connect UK Creative – Ian Boulter Inside the Eye of Wisdom… Hemisfèric is a remarkable and spectacular building designed by Santiago Calatrava that represents a huge human eye, the eye of wisdom, symbolising the observation of the world. In our pre shoot conversations with Raul Pires head of Design at Bentley, the recurring theme was organic shape and form. Synergy of two man made objects – the Hemisfèric and Flying Spur travelling at speed, a natural fit.

Half an inch can make all the difference Bentley Flying Spur part 5 Analogue Archive #Photography Location – Valencia, Spain 2004 Client – Bentley Motors UK Agency – Connect UK Creative – Ian Boulter You know how it is when something just isn’t quite right , its a bit like alcohol-free lager… Photography is no different – the shot just isnt quite working, move the camera half an inch to one side & bingo, it just clicks into place – the devils in the detail. There are so many things that inspire me from the everyday, to the not so every day. I just love graphic compositions, whether its a building, a flyover, It has to have a strong dynamic narrative.

Analogue Archive #Photography Bentley Flying Spur #nofilter… Bentley… part 4 Location – Valencia, Spain 2004 Client – Bentley Motors UK Agency – Connect UK Creative – Ian Boulter #nofilter are we now moving back to less ‘fakery’ in images? @craiggmca commented on yesterdays IG post…’Loving this stuff! I think a lot of the older stuff just looks so much more natural, it looks like the real thing rather than some digital stuff looking like a screenshot from Forza!’ The question is – are we heading towards a ‘Twiggy moment’ in image production?k (What I mean by that is M&S over-retouching Twiggy shots to look 30 years younger than her real age and the debacle that followed) Obviously, there are many ways to look like Forza – wether it be over Photoshopped/ CGI etc… but how do you feel about the product if you don’t believe the image is real? Do you feel conned? Are ‘authenticity & story telling’ key? Or is it OK to look like a Forza screenshot? Take one of my Mitsubishi Shogun shoots from a couple of years ago – all shot in one for real – real car, real crashing waves… Take a similar scenario – waves, rocks & sea and CGI vehicle, would this be another Twiggy moment? Would it make you question the real capability of the vehicle & would that degrade the authenticity of the brand? Thoughts? ••• https://blog.harniman.com/finding-epic-49-10-49-30-n-2-14-45-06-w/ Shot on Sinar 5×4, Schneider lenses, Fuji Velvia Quickload film, Polaroid & carbon fibre rig. #Bentley #FlyingSpur #analogue #archive #analoguearchive #filmphotography #automotivephotography #rigphotography #35mmfilm #MamiyaRZ #6×7 #sinar #5×4 #5x4camera #35mmcamera #fujifilm #polaroid #thinkdifferently #lookingback #lookingforward #harniman #analog #analogphotography #analogarchive

Analogue Archive #Photography Bentley Flying Spur Still under construction… Bentley…part 3 Location – Valencia, Spain 2004 Client – Bentley Motors UK Agency – Connect UK Creative – Ian Boulter On our previous shoot with Conti GT at the Arts Center, I had spotted this potential shot underneath the road bridge where we shot GT, at the time there was no hard surface to run a car on. Now move on 18 months to 2004 & we return. As you can see concrete surface down and bingo we are away, the shot is on! However, the security fencing is still in place – the original plan was to get the construction company to remove it for the shot, but following the tech recce we decided to keep it in, to add to the graphic and give the front of the car definition in the scene. And besides… what lay behind it was a full on building site! You don’t want a building site reflected in the sheet metal. Seen in a million cars ads since – bit like Lower Grand in LA, its gone on the photographic location roster, just without the security fencing!

It’s all just photons… Well, I say that – it’s what you do with them that matters! The brief for this shot was ‘luxury at speed’, whilst highlighting the A-Class surfaces, the character lines that define Flying Spur design. Accentuating the roofline, accent-line, waistline – bringing passion and soul to the imagery.

Analogue Archive #Photography Bentley Flying Spur You can never get too much of a good thing…Bentley…part 1 Location – Valencia, Spain 2004 Client – Bentley Motors UK Agency – Connect UK Creative – Ian Boulter The Continental GT global launch images kicked off our Analogue Archive lockdown series. You can never get too much of a good thing…Bentley… So the phone rings & Ian the CD says, we have another prototype to shoot for the worldwide launch. A couple of weeks later we were back up at Bentley HQ in the Styling Garden, a rather posh name for a concrete bunker with no roof 😉 Design Head Raul unveiled the new Flying Spur fleshing out his vision for what the new 4-door was all about. They wanted creative synergy between the Continental GT and Flying Spur, so we headed back to Valencia. The interplay of light, location & time of year always brings new options – you see things differently – fresh eyes, different light, exciting times. An example of this is the opening shot of the series, light coming down the tunnel at sunset will only do that for a couple of weeks a year. In a world before ‘spray & pray’ – if you have seen others in the Analogue Archive series, images shared here are real full frame transparency scans, shot on the trusty Sinar 5×4 – some show the film edge border – no fake film rebates transposed to digital captures here 😉 Shot on Sinar 5×4, Schneider lenses, Fuji Velvia Quickload film, Polaroid & carbon fibre rig. #Bentley #FlyingSpur #analogue #archive #analoguearchive #filmphotography #automotivephotography #rigphotography #35mmfilm #MamiyaRZ #6×7 #sinar #5×4 #5x4camera #35mmcamera #fujifilm #polaroid #thinkdifferently #lookingback #lookingforward #harniman #analog #analogphotography #analogarchive

Analogue Archive #Photography Honda Civic Si / SiR / Type R / 2.0 i-VTEC From Civic to South Park Location – Los Angeles 2001 Client – Honda USA Agency – RPA LA Creative – Joel Hanlin Art buyer – Ginnie Assenza As you can imagine, it was a no-brainier when I was invited by ad agency RPA to travel to LA to shoot the cool new 2001 7th Gen Honda Civic Si 2.0 i-VTEC. For you petrol heads out there – you know the one with the legendary K20 engine. A tuners dream. So, a few weeks later after the three way bidding process, location scouting and pre-production, myself, assistant/rigger Jon & 5×4 kit cases landed in LA. All round cool guy Joel Hanlin was the creative on this project – no surprise he later moved along from ad agency RPA to work on cult 2000’s TV comedy cartoon series South Park. Funky dynamic rig shots were the order of the day. Preferred heights & angles were nowhere to be seen, so Joel and I filled our boots. When I look back… I’m sure you will know if you have seen others in the Analogue Archive series, images shared here are real full frame transparency scans, obviously shot on the trusty Sinar 5×4 showing the film edge border – no fake film rebates transposed to digital captures here 😉 Shot on Sinar 5×4, Schneider lenses, Fuji Velvia Quickload film, Polaroid & carbon fibre rig. #honda #hondacivic #analogue #archive #analoguearchive #filmphotography #automotivephotography #rigphotography #35mmfilm #MamiyaRZ #6×7 #sinar #5×4 #5x4camera #35mmcamera #fujifilm #polaroid #thinkdifferently #lookingback #lookingforward #harniman #analog #analogphotography #analogarchive

Analogue Archive #Photography 50 years of Range Rover Adventures in Africa without GPS part 3 Location – South Africa 2001 Client – Land Rover Agency – Oakwood Creatives – Chris Jones & Neil Sims Production – Bee’s Pictures Spain A year later we found ourselves at the bottom end of Africa for another adventure with Land Rover. And boy, as always, what an experience – epic locations and helicopter tracking shots. However, despite meticulous planning, sometimes things just don’t pan out as expected… Hmmm, helicopters – not my favourite mode of transport, but a necessary ‘tool in the box’. Donning a harness and sitting on the side of a helicopter with the door removed, sounds exciting. Picture the scene – Noordhoek Beach, four cars driving in formation through the surf. Helicopter tracking sidewards up the beach with cars centre frame. Slight problem – strong winds, getting gustier by the minute and only a single engined heli. It was soon apparent we didn’t have enough power to fly side wards, jettisoned the CD, park ranger and superfluous kit to try again. Still not enough power. Plan B – call in a twin engine Bell Ranger & have another go. Apparently an ex Leics Police heli that had found its way down to SA! 3rd time lucky? Up again, this time flying straight down the beach & trying to negotiate a 90 degree turn as the four vehicles passed beneath us. Still no joy, dead calm one minute, strong gusts the next – tricky flying conditions for the pilot 200 feet off the deck, that’s what did for us – sometimes you just have to call it a day! Back to the campfire!

Analogue Archive #Photography 50 years of Range Rover Adventures in Africa without GPS part 1 Location – Morocco 2000 Client – Land Rover Agency – Oakwood Creatives – Chris Brown & Neil Sims Production – Bee’s Pictures Spain This adventure with Land Rover & the Oakwood/ Bee’s team took us to the dunes of Morocco. Imagine yourself 30 miles from the nearest tarmac road and all the eye can see is sand dunes. 50 degree heat on a pre-shoot tech recce, when you see what looks like a billowing wall of dust approaching hundreds of feet high. Local production informed us it was a sandstorm fast approaching so time to down tools but not quick enough. We were enveloped in a choking dust and boy does it get everywhere. Retreating to the safety of the production vehicles, Land Rovers of course, we started to head back to the tarmac road, but it was very slow going and soon we decided it was not sensible to try & return to base – Zak, the local fixer managed to navigate us to some huts in the middle of nowhere. It was a rough overnight refuge, with a camp of Bedouins also taking shelter – dancing round the fire, like something out of an Indiana Jones movie! During the frantic pack-up, sand had got everywhere including the camera kit, so much of the night was spent stripping the Sinar to all basic components – re calibrating everything by lamplight after the gennies cut out at midnight! The 50 degree overnight heat was incredible – a few crew opted to sleep on the roof while friend/assistant Jon tried to sleep in the shower! Happy Days!

Bonneville Salt Flats ✅ Alps ✅ next stop Rajasthan. Same routine, Sam & Dave called me up again & the ad layout appeared out of the fax machine – this time the concept was the car gliding serenely across water. Now this one was a ‘T4 brief’ as they were known, back when all BA long haul flew out of Heathrow T4 🙂 If you haven’t shot in India, then go – it is a unique and amazing experience. Our press ad location was Jal Mahal (Lake Palace) Jaipur and the ad narrative was First Class Travel… There was a certain irony, when we experienced train travel Indian style, sitting atop the train roof travelling across the stunning landscapes of Rajasthan. What I mean is a First Class Experience, meeting some incredible characters. Happy Days. One car, three continents…done.

Analogue Archive #Photography One car three continents… part two Location – The Alps – Switzerland & France 1995 Client – Ford of Britain Agency – Y&R London Creatives – Sam Hurford & Dave Henderson Account Director – Paul Venn Ford Galaxy – Enjoy the Rarified Atmosphere of First Class In part one, I mentioned one of my early goals was to have an image on a 96 sheet billboard. Mission accomplished with the shot on the Salt Flats. The second in this series is the Galaxy Winter Campaign image. Creatives Sam & Dave called me up & then faxed yes, FAXED the ad layout over. As was the norm back then, minimal Picasso-esque line drawing, Galaxy looking like a wedge of cheese, spiky mountains with low clouds below, appeared out of the fax machine… So, we set to work. Location options – Hawaii, Canaries or Alps. Optimistically, we opted for Hawaii, but this was not to be a ‘T4 brief’ (more on that some other time!) Dave Johnson, location scout headed for the Alps. Two weeks later, bingo – Dave sent all his scouting images to agency for our PPM meeting. Can you believe, shot on film, dashed into a 1 hr processing shop and then mounted on presentation boards & couriered to London! Location selected & permitted, fantastic – we are off to the Alps. Tech recce complete, but no snow & no cloud inversions on the horizon. Solution…we bring hundreds of tons of snow from higher up in the mountains, then put a helicopter on standby to fly to another valley if we get the nod on a cloud inversion, just in case there is no inversion at our primary location. Then we wait…and wait…for a week… At last, we get the call. We shoot the car & foreground, then five valleys away (at least 8 hrs drive) the long awaited temperature inversion, so the helicopter is the only way to travel. We fly across the mountain ranges above the cloud for 30 minutes or so to find a suitable landing spot, jump out with 5×4 camera kit and start pulling sheets of film. All wrapped & in the can, back in the helicopter – Happy Days. One car, three continents…one more to follow, last stop India.

One of my milestones was to have an image on a 96 sheet billboard. I achieved that goal in 1995 with Y&R and the Ford Galaxy – Travel First Class campaign. So. There we are on the Bonneville Salt Flats. Imagine the scene, tech recce day, 3 inches of water for 15 miles in every direction. Sudden thunderstorm – standing in water, hair up on end, electro static everywhere. But what amazing light! CD Sam and I looked at each other, said ‘better grab a camera’ – no time for the 5×4 so grabbed the 35mm instead. Paul Maloney, precision driver, walkie-talkie in hand shot off across the salt flats in the closest available Galaxy and positioned the vehicle for the shot. The rest is history…happy days. …two more continents with Galaxy to follow, next stop The Alps.

Analogue Archive #Photography How to make an Astra look dynamic… • Location The French Alps Client Vauxhall/Opel VXR/OPC 2005 Agency – McCann UK & Germany Creative Director – Nick Cooper Producer – Caspar Davies How do you make an Astra look dynamic? I read a post recently that inferred shooting super cars is difficult…REALLY…DOH… nothing could be further from the truth. Just think about this for a second – their graphic angular A-Class surfaces, single planes and relatively small curved radiuses, mean they are amongst the easiest sheet metal to shoot! If you think lighting a super car is difficult (which it seriously isn’t!) – try lighting a spoon to accentuate its shape & form, working the grads with no black holes. Concave or convex side, no matter, you’ll learn more about the techniques of lighting sheet metal from this exercise than anything else. Go on, give it a go! A very experienced Automotive CD (Stephen Glenn – Publicis London) once said to me that he didn’t want to see super cars in a folio, anyone can shoot a super car & make it look good – he said ‘the real photographic skill lies in making the average look exceptional.’ We went on to work on multiple Renault press ad campaigns together…more about that in future posts 🙂 • As with the others in Analogue Archive, the images shared here are real full frame transparency scans, showing the film edge border – no fake film rebates transposed to digital captures here 😉 • Shot on Sinar 5X4, using Fuji Velvia Quickload film, Polaroid of course, some beautiful Schneider lenses and a 40ft carbon fibre rig.

So on lands my desk a raft of fantastic layouts! Straight on the phone to a good friend of mine, Caspar, who I first met while assisting on a Vauxhall studio shoot many years earlier when he was Art Directing and had since made the jump into Production. The layouts were extremely tight as you can see & had to fit certain print ratios and crop templates, as they were commissioned for a specific use, e.g. press ad, single page, DPS, etc… you get the idea.

Analogue Archive #Photography Location LA Client Volvo S60 2004 Agency – SCP Göteborg Sweden Creative Director – Johan Svantesson When the client comes to you & says that we don’t have to show the whole car…happy days! As a creative you are always striving to create something visually new and unexpected, so in the black S60 shot we decided on a very low and acute angle with the red S60 reflected in the rear door panel. More recently with my Rolls-Royce work, we have created intriguing imagery not showing the whole car – you might have seen the Phantom VIII series, just picking out body lines and details like the grille image shown in Creative Review – this showed key lines of the Pantheon grille & Spirit of Ecstasy, to convey the brand message without even needing the RR badge. Our location brief to production on the Volvo shoot was an open rooftop in LA with graphic urban architecture to give structure but to enhance and not dominate the shots. No mean feat when you also factor in needing access to get hero cars and support vehicles up on the roof. Production on this shot – all the usual that you would need on the ground…permits for the rooftop location, grip & support vehicles to the roof, catering etc…available light so no lighting trucks or wet down. The BTS images show the set up with Sinar 5×4 camera, Fuji Quickload film, Polaroids etc., etc… Camera Sinar 5×4 Lens Schneider 75mm #volvo #analogue #archive #analoguearchive #filmphotography #automotivephotography #rigphotography #35mmfilm #MamiyaRZ #6×7 #sinar #5×4 #5x4camera #35mmcamera #fujifilm #polaroid #thinkdifferently #lookingback #lookingforward #harniman #photographyisart #drivetastefully

Analogue Archive #Photography Location LA 710 Freeway Client Volvo S60 2004 Agency – SCP Göteborg Sweden Creative Director – Johan Svantesson As you know, I’m always up for a challenge, so when the CD comes to you & asks – ‘Can you shoot a rig shot on a freeway, with rain, in one with no comping’, well you scratch your head for a bit, chat to your producer and get to work. It soon became apparent that just a shot on a freeway would have a very linear composition, and what was really needed was some height to the shot, to add movement & speed in the sky, in the form of flyovers, on ramps etc… Creatively, one more thing to add in to the mix for the location finding brief. The location finder came up with the suggestion of the 710 freeway out of LA, which after a preliminary tech scout, bingo, nailed it – gave us the graphic composition we were looking for. So the logistical conversations started – we needed total closure, not ITC or rolling road blocks as it was a rig shot – total control was key to achieve the specific composition we had in mind. So, the layout & brief for this shot was…Volvo S60, on a freeway, in heavy rain, followed by other cars, trucks etc…all shot in one for real, on 5×4 film, shot with a Sinar. Shoot producer & friend Ricardo Capdepont made it all happen for us as always – permits to close the 710 freeway put in place, 4 water trucks, rig, riggers, police…and 20 ‘prop’ cars & trucks. We probably weren’t very popular with the local drivers, having the freeway closed for 10 hours for this shot! All in all, about 30 people on set and 20 vehicles. A massive production undertaking, like falling off a log for Mr C!

Analogue Archive Subaru Impreza WRX STi Shoot location – Sapporo, Japan 2003 Agency – Hakuhodo, Tokyo Capturing the character of any vehicle is always a challenge, but when you look at of this image which we shot for Subaru in Japan, for me it pretty much nailed it. When you think of the Impreza, it’s about the flared arches, the big rear wing, the scoop of the bonnet. The burble of the Scooby Boxer engine at full chat – is there anything better? So you can imagine, when offered a WRX with 460bhp, I didn’t have to be asked twice… 2.35 stroker kit, coilovers, race harness, short shift – we are all looking forward to getting back on track to do the things we love and give our cars the beans!

Analogue Archive Subaru Impreza WRX STi Shoot location – Sapporo, Japan As you might know if you read my blog, I do have a thing for Japanese performance cars. It all started in the early '90's with a Nissan 180SX, and within five years I had imported a Nissan R33 GTR VSpec, which was totally amazing! Roll on to 2003 ad agency Hakuhodo Tokyo invited me to shoot the launch imagery on Japan's North Island in secret. We packed the rig, freighted 500 kilos of camera equipment and headed to Sapporo for a three week shoot. As it turned out, the car in shot was to be freighted straight from the shoot to the Paris Motor Show, so if you went to the show in 2004, this was the car you saw… If you look closely, you can see the Fuji film 5×4 transparency rebate, and part of the rig which wasn't retouched out as it was out of the ad crop.
