God, I was so excited about blogging this job, but now I am a bit disappointed. Julian shot this for Rhodes Wingrove for the IPA accountants professional body. He did an amazing job of tailoring this to an impossible format and it is COMPLETELY lost on my blog. It was a complicated job and Julian did the post himself. The shot is, you would think, a classic stock shot, but with the media it would have been totally unaffordable. It also didn’t exist in the format. So Julian used his personal image library from the Tignes/French glacier job for Beechams, and a stock shot of the peak, and shot the climber in studio. It really works well as a massive mural. I saw it at the airport yesterday and it looked really grand. I am sorry you can’t really see it in all its glory here. There are two more similarly amazing shots in this series including Julian’s recent trip to Dover to document the cliffs that represent to challenge of swimming the channel.
