I took a flying visit to Frankfurt last week to meet with the german photography representative - Gunda Patzke. We spent all day going through my images and talking about photography, art and life, and I'm delighted to announce that Gunda will now be repping me in Germany.
We are busy working on new portfolios for her now, and in early September we will be showing the portfolios. For those in Germany looking to see a portfolio please go to Gundas site www.gundapatzke.com or call her directly on 0049 69 726797.

Dragons den
I spent a lot of time working on this shot for my lurzers Archive ad, and it seems to have gone down very well. I originally did the car in silver, but after a friendly nudge from some art directors I took their advice and changed it to black.
The background was shot in London and the team at This Little Fish did a great job bringing it all to life, by contributing from the early creative stages right through to the final delivery - so thanks to all the team that helped make the shot look so good.

Web update, blogs, tweets and shoots.
Yet again, I've been pretty slack at updating my website, let alone this blog, so at long last there are lots of new images on the site. There are a few minor sections to change, but mostly its looking pretty nice, and I've made the images bigger for easier viewing - I hope everyone likes it.
Then there is the blog - I will update it more frequently and keep everyone posted on what I'm up to and what shoots I'm on. Its been a quietish year so far, but i know that's been the case for everyone as we ride out this economic period, but I'll add more updates about shoots as time moves on.
Finally, after much resistance I am registered on Twitter, and I'll keep that fed with little notes as much as possible. The link for my tweets is http://twitter.com/carllyttle .

BPCAD REUNION 6/3/09
20 Years after leaving the hallowed halls of Bournemouth and Poole College of Art and Design (now the Arts Institute of Bournemouth ), I tentatively made my way to the college, for the retrospective of 50 years of photography from the students who had passed through BPCAD. I was delighted to have been asked to be part of the exhibition, and honoured to be among the likes of Nick Knight, Wolfgang Tilmans and all my old college friends who were exhibiting. The show is called from here to there and it does honour all of us past graduates, but for me personally it applauds the dedicated career of Geoff Drury ( along with Maestri, Eldridge and Fassnidge ) who inspired and taught us all those years ago, and it was amazing to get everyone together again so many years later ( I'm sure even Chris Fassnidge was looking down on us ).
There is a site to mark the exhibition - check it out here.

I had a fantastic evening at the private view, and it has enthused me greatly to do what i enjoy best - taking pictures.

Blurb Book
I've been spending the past week or two sorting through endless hard drives trying to get my back catalogue sorted and I decided to publish a book of some of my recent landscapes on Blurb at the same time. I haven't seen the printed result yet, but have a look here for a preview.

Hope you all like it.

2009 - Here we go
Yet again I've been really slack at doing regular blogs, and I do hope to make monthly blogs through the year. The end of the year brought some projects along in October and November and we produced some new pieces for the Nissan Xtrail, working with their new agency, which is a breath of fresh air compared to the previous agency.
Christmas has come and gone, I had a nice vacation with my family in the Caribbean and took some quite interesting night shots that I'm working on right now, and I hope to have those upline in the next month or two.
January has been slowish, I've been busy as hell with This Little Fish stuff, and We're all working on a launch of a new Nissan compact that I'm shooting end of February and there is some ads to be done for Ogilvy's during February also, so I'm going to see this month fly past also.
I also was delighted to receive the news that I've got a picture in this years AOP rewards - I'm sure it'll come to nothing, but its still nice to get pictures in the awards.
So onwards with it all, and I'm trying to stay positive despite the eternal gloom that seems to be all around the advertising industry, I'm sure there won't be quite the number of trips this year, but for sure I think it'll be busy busy busy regardless.
More News soon.

The Summer report
I know, i know - I've been really crap at keeping the blog up to date and the promised regular updates, so hopefully this will bring me right back up to date and I can keep on top of regular blogs.
Since the last entry in April its been a crazy crazy summer May June and July was car season time when everybody wants to shoot. i started doing a lot of studio work in paris on the Nissan Pathfinder and navara updates before shooting the outdoor sections in June. ( unusually with real cars for a change and not CAD data ). Most of July was was spent working on the new brochure and ad launches of the Qashqui +2, which we shot half in Paris and the rest in London - working closeley of course with the talented 3d artists at "this little fish" cgi house, who produced some fine imagery and superb renders, and of course art direction from Lou Setchao of TBWA paris.
August was equally as crazy, i shot a couple of CGI brochures for Toyota with art director Paul valentine from publicis blueprint. We completed facelift brochures for the Aygo and Yaris models which we shot in Paris and The South of France. We had a great production with continental productions ( nico and his team ) , even if they let it rain too much and covered us in hilltop fog, the results look great and i'll have a few on the site soon ( i promise ).
I took a long vacation after the Toyota shoot with the family and returned to go straight into an O2 campaign which was shot at the O2 Arena doing super wide 360 degree interiors of the VIP rooms at the arena in a quirky way.
And here we are now mid October with the world falling apart, lets hope it doesn't slow down too much for us and we can continue making images.
