Douglas Fisher shot five different locations in three different European countries for Nike T90.

The concept was simple - capture the goalies eye view of the accuracy and speed the players can strike the ball with. Preparation was key to success. The set up consisted of half a dozen 18k HMI lamps, and a 10m square area of Astro Turf, giving the opportunity to shoot continuously through 2 cameras simultaneously, capturing as much material as possible in the limited time frame available for each player.

Before the shoot began, Doug did some visualisation of the shoot set up to establish the working area and the distance the camera would need to be to give a convincing result from the goalies perspective.
In order to put Doug directly in the line of fire, a cage was constructed that allowed the players to shoot directly at Doug - in fact the players took great delight in trying to "take him out", rocketing the balls directly at him. The prize went to Sergio Ramos from Real Madrid, who managed to hit the ball so hard that the it squeezed through the bars and stuck the end of the camera, which subsequently hit Doug just above the eye, splitting his eyebrow open! Like a trooper, Doug kept on shooting, everyone unaware of the extent of the injury until the session with Sergio was over and Doug emerged from the cage, his face dripping in blood! A shoot to remember, for many reasons, not least the great dynamic images captured!

Perpetual Garry Owens

Garry Owens was commissioned to photograph several of Perpetual Financial's hot-shot wealth management department heads. Due to scheduling conflicts, Garry had to recreate the exact same lighting on three separate occasions in a make-shift studio alongside a video production crew. Garry has been working "locally" in Australia, Europe and the USA.

Bear, Beach & Band - HUBER

William Huber recently shot three new ads for North Carolina Tourism. Two stunning landscapes and one image of Raleigh's lively nightlife.  Each shot had it's serendipitous moments. Whiteside Mountain casts a shadow resembling a bear for only a few weeks each year.  On the very last shoot day, after several previous attempts, the clouds opened up to reveal the bear on a glorious autumn afternoon.  William hoped to get very close to the wild horses on Corolla Isalnd by sneaking up on them but in fact the horses followed him around  - almost posing in the most breathtaking scenes.  The band helped William keep on cue while he orchestrated people around the plaza like human chess pieces.  Once the chaos was over and the cameras were put away it rained cats and dogs for the rest of the night.  

All luck - I don't think so!
