I do like Mondays Unseen Archive #Photography Location – Brooklands, Surrey Client – Jaguar Project – C-XF Concept Last Monday, new headers fitted on the Impreza at RM Performance, decided to head up the A442 on the way home to @caffeineandmachine Looking for a parking space & my rear view mirrors were filled with a bright red Aston Martin pulling in behind me. Walked over to check out the rather stunning @callum_designs Aston Martin 25 – had only been watching the launch film earlier that day – and who should jump out but Mr Callum himself? Hadn’t spoken to Ian since the last time we met in a car studio while I was shooting his new concept Jaguar C-XF, so as always it’s never a quick conversation when you are as passionate about cars and photography. Ian asked if I’d spotted one of the innovative design features of the new Aston in the way in which the rear silencer is designed as part of the aero package – the devils in the detail. Simply quite stunning. An hour of car & photography chat later with Ian, Phil with caffeine. I do like Mondays.

Round The World with CGI – Miami Unseen Archive #Photography Location – Miami, FL, USA Client – Volvo Agency – SCP Göteborg Sweden Creative Director – Johan Svantesson Project – ‘Spirit of Free Will’ C30 Production – Caspar & Co Assistant – Jon Mason The road trip to beat all road trips.

Round The World with CGI – Copacabana Beach Unseen Archive #Photography Location – Rio De Janeiro Client – Volvo Agency – SCP Göteborg Sweden Creative Director – Johan Svantesson Project – ‘Spirit of Free Will’ C30 Rio – the location that just kept giving! Niemeyer’s ‘flying saucer’, the helipad overlooking the statue of Christ the Redeemer, now we moved down to the beach for a day shot. Copacabana conjures up images of bronzed Adonis playing volleyball on the beach but this is the main road around the iconic bay. So over to Caspar to negotiate ITC (intermittent traffic control) with the authorities & police for a window just long enough to shoot our HDRi & backplate captures. Fun fact – if you Google Copacabana, the second thing that appears is THAT Barry Manilow song… no wonder it keeps going through my head now like an ear worm!

People, cars, and a flying saucer in Rio Unseen Archive #Photography Location – Niteroi Contemporary Arts Museum, Rio De Janeiro Client – Volvo Agency – SCP Göteborg Sweden Creative Director – Johan Svantesson Project – ‘Spirit of Free Will’ C30 When I started my photographic career, rendering cars from data seemed about as likely as a flying saucer landing in Rio… Now commonplace, in 2009 that’s exactly what we did – went to Rio, rendered some cars and shot some lifestyle.

Seeking Solitude in Rajasthan India in black and white part 1 Analogue Archive As you’ll know if you’ve been on trips to India, it can be…well…a bit manic to say the least! Insane traffic, crammed trains and friendly people. Move out of the metropolis and everything slows down – time for a bit of solitude, just me, cameras and a landscape. This chap was heading out of the village, don’t know where to, but he had the dustiest leather shoes I’ve ever seen… Oh, and the shot was nominated in the AOP Awards – nice.

Shooting things that matter Woman and Machine Part 9 Shot with Midlands Air Ambulance 2013 Location – Strensham Helicopter Base #Unseen #Photography To be honest, I can’t think of anything better to shoot. I’m not really interested in displaying my new shoes, what I’m drinking at Soho Farmhouse or the length of my beard! When the opportunity arises, a bit of charity work is quite cathartic & I like to use photography to raise awareness of the important stuff. Anyone else a bit tired of so called ‘influencers’ posting snaps of their ‘aspirational luxury lifestyle’ which we all know are just set up for click bait? Supercars, my beautiful narcissistic life etc.,etc…yawn. Anyway, short rant over folks, have a good one 😉 #MAA #MidlandsAirAmbulance #charity #helicopters #keyworkers #doctors #paramedics #pandemic #unseen #aviation #advertising #thinkdifferently #lookingforward #harniman #photographyisart #AOP #AssociationOfPhotographers

Saving Lives by Saving Time Man and Machine Part 8 Shot with Midlands Air Ambulance 2013 Location – Strensham Helicopter Base #Unseen #Photography As they say charity starts at home – second in my series of Pro Bono work for MAA. If you’ve seen previous posts, you know generally I try to tell a bit of a story behind the shot, but in this case, just one quick quote…as Sir Bob said, back in 1985 on Live Aid (cleaned up for those of a nervous disposition) – ‘Don’t go to the f-ing pub, stay home, give your money now!’ Believe it or not, it costs a mega £9 million a year to operate 3 MAA helis, 100% funded by donations, no government funding. Hopefully, I’ll be heading out again soon with Midlands Air Ambulance, when we get the OK… #MAA #MidlandsAirAmbulance #charity #probono #helicopters #keyworkers #doctors #paramedics #pandemic #unseen #aviation #advertising #thinkdifferently #lookingforward #harniman #photographyisart #AOP #AssociationOfPhotographers

Should it take a pandemic to make the nation realise how vital key workers are? Man and Machine Part 7 Shot with Midlands Air Ambulance 2013 Location – Strensham Helicopter Base #Unseen #Photography I generally don’t publicise the charity work I do, that’s not why I do it. There are many charities out there us photographers do support, just by donating time and effort, and as we know time is the most precious commodity we all have. This has been brought even more sharply into focus following events of the last few months. Back in 2013 I approached MAA (Midlands Air Ambulance) to offer my services Pro Bono – MAA are a great bunch of dedicated people including the lovely Helen and Michelle at fundraising HQ. The amazing crews work in difficult circumstances on scene, performing procedures like anaesthesia, and even amputation, giving accident victims the best possible chance of survival. MAA along with so many charities are having a tough time raising funds, so if you can help in these uncertain financial times, I’m sure they would really appreciate your support. So when you are back down the pub this evening, give it some thought 🙂 #MAA #MidlandsAirAmbulance #charity #helicopters #keyworkers #doctors #paramedics #pandemic #unseen #aviation #advertising #thinkdifferently #lookingforward #harniman #photographyisart #AOP #AssociationOfPhotographers #Sony #SonyAlpha

Grafting in Godalming Backbone of Britain Campaign – Ford 2020 Man and Machine Part 6 Location – Surrey #2020 #Unseen #Photography We left the mud and rain of Hertfordshire for leafy Godalming and a spot of gardening with a Ranger Wildtrak. From one extreme to the other – a building site in Hemel to bush trimming in the ‘burbs. The jury was out on which was more manicured – the topiary or the beard of the gardener. My his shears had seen some action! 3rd in our Ford ‘Backbone of Britain’ campaign image series just released. The essence of people at work – strong personalities against sheet metal, in real working environments.

Mud, Rain, Wind and Hemel Hempstead. Backbone of Britain Campaign – Ford 2020 Man and Machine Part 5 Location – Hemel Hempstead #2020 #Unseen #Photography Hemel, as it is referred to by locals, is one of those ‘new towns’ that popped up in the ’50s a mixture of old town and new, not the obvious place for a shoot but…Alex and Angus had been out scouting several sites in and around the Home Counties to find one at the right stage of building for the creative. Tech recce day arrives and Oh my days, what a mad, busy, muddy and compact building site. Location is perfect, light is great but there is building paraphernalia stacked everywhere, all in the wrong places for a shoot, however the site manager assures us that he is more than happy to ‘sort the site out’ for the shoot on the following Saturday.  Morning of the shoot – it just rained and rained, stopped for two minutes and then poured it down again. I spent most of the morning pinned up against a fence, sitting on an apple box behind camera, waiting for a weather window. Ankle deep in mud under umbrellas, resembling a Garden Gnome, all I needed was a fishing rod – water dripping off my nose. Oh the glamour of location photography… Wind, rain and mud – not a great combo for cameras, lighting and computers, but the team all mucked in and stuck at it to get the shot. Done! Thanks team!

Backbone of Britain Campaign – Ford 2020 Woman and Machine Part 4 Locations across London & the South East, UK #2020 #Unseen #Photography A combination of people, vehicles and landscapes – what a brief. The latest Ford ‘Backbone of Britain’ campaign, just released. The creative – strong, heroic people, against liquid sheet metal, all framed by real working environments, capturing the essence of Britain at work. First in the series is our landscaper with her Transit. The added bonus of this campaign was being re-united with creative team, Matt & Brian, who I first worked with many, many moons ago on Jeep UK press ads with Delaney Fletcher Bozell London. What a buzz! More on that in later posts… A few BTS images also shared here give a flavour of how we shot the campaign (before anyone decides to dob us in to Boris, it was pre Covid social distancing measures!)

Farmers, Navaras, and Awards for a shed Man and Machine Part 3 Worcestershire, UK 2013 Lenses are for telling stories not photocopying #Archive #Unseen #Photography I’d cycled past this farm many times while getting some miles in my legs prepping for our JOGLE (John O’Groats to Lands End) charity cycle ride. I was intrigued by one of the old ramshackle barns for a shot that I had in mind, when the right ‘weather window’ came around. I approached the farmer to ask if I could shoot his barn. After chatting for an hour, it became apparent that this guy needed his picture taken – not that he knew it, but I did! I like to use the lens to tell a story and bring out the humanity in a subject, and in this image, I wanted to portray his life and experience. It’s all in the eyes – take a look at my Mads Mikkelsen portraits for Ford Edge Le Fantome Campaign from 2016 – man, he can act without saying a word. Next up in this Man & Machine series, a soulful series of portraits shot for Ford UK, just released. Oh yes…by the way, the black and white barn image made it into the Association of Photographers Awards – always gratifying to receive peer group and industry recognition for personal work. Happy days!

Everyone Needs A Hero Man and Machine Part 2 Glasgow 2015 #Archive #Unseen #Photography Heroic, dependable, always there in your hour of need whatever the conditions to come to the rescue. That was the brief from RAC – to portray the ‘Super hero’ RAC patrolmen coming to the aid of stricken motorists. An unambiguous and clear brief – you may have seen yesterday’s portrait of Billy Burrows & his Harley, on the Bonneville Salt Flats which was the key image on the creative moodboard. A man exuding a Zeus-like aura and strength. So…onto a flight to Glasgow… The Scottish weather was challenging – ‘Four seasons in one day’ to quote Crowded House – kind of handy, as we wanted to create both summer and winter executions in one shoot. ‘Interesting’ experiences – finding out that one early morning shot location was actually the favourite local dogging spot – amazing how at 4am, a car park can so rapidly empty when some lighting goes up and you pull a camera out! ‘nuff said about that! You may have seen the images in print campaigns in 2015…and supersize on the RAC HQ buildings on M6/M5. If you found yourself stuck in a traffic jam over the last five years behind a RAC patrol van, you’ve probably seen one of these images staring back at you.

Billy Burrows, Bonneville Speed Week Man and Machine Part 1 Salt Flats 2005 #Archive #Unseen #Photography I had been out in LA again shooting a Ford Fusion campaign with CD Jack Crifasi & JWT Detroit. After wrapping, decided to head out on a road trip with my right-hand-man of many years Jon. Destination, Speed Week Bonneville Salt Flats. This larger than life guy turns up on the salt flats, Panhead Billy. So called because of his Harley, with a face like Zeus and hands like shovels. His Panhead features a 1960 engine and transmission, ‘93 Springer front end with a disc brake and ‘48-‘53 wishbone frame. Originally from Milwaukee, ex USAF, he was riding to a friend’s party in LA. So we got talking and he spent an hour sharing his on-the-road stories with me. A real life High Plain’s Drifter, living on the road since 1976. Harley dealership to Harley dealership – visiting every single one of the 800 or so across the US. A true road warrior and nomad! All his possessions packed in around him, Billy exuded tough indomitable impermanence. As we chatted, Billy wanted to get back on the road – places to go, people to meet. Time to grab a camera. I angled Billy 45 degrees so the light was across his face to give it shape and form. The image speaks for itself. https://blog.harniman.com/pan-head-billy/ Shot on Canon EOS 1D #Bonneville #saltflats #harleydavidson #motorcycles #panhead #billyburrows #panheadbilly #unseen #archive #automotivephotography #35mm #thinkdifferently #lookingback #lookingforward #harniman #nofilter #photographyisart #artofphotography #roadtrip #ontheroad
