TANK Christmas Special

I shot a number of branding images for my friends at Tank late last year and what a christmas treat to receive an interactive seasons greetings in my inbox featuring one of them! It’s a lovely idea and helps to give you a little insight into the fave objects collected by the creative and clever guys and girls at the agency. Here is a screen grab of one of the linked descriptions and here is a link to the interactive version. Have a look and get into the head of your favourite Tank-er. It’s easy to see straight from the offset that Tank are about the people, its an admirable trait they posess and to me is so important and creates a more tactile and personable first impression. Also here is a link to their intro vid on the website.

  • ‘Dark Side of the Lens’ featuring Irish surf photographer Mickey Smith

    January 27th, 2011

    ‘Dark Side of the Lens’ featuring Irish surf photographer Mickey Smith

    Dark Side of the Lens presents the art and inner voice of Irish surf photographer Mickey Smith. The six minute film lets you experience Smith’s aesthetics translated into beautiful practice. (“I wanna see waveriding documented the way I see it in my head, and the way I feel it in the sea.”) But then it rather poetically cracks open the personal philosophy of the artist:

    I never set out to become anything in particular, only to live creatively and push the scope of my experience for adventure and for passion… The raw brutal cold coastlands for the right waveriders to challenge – this is where my heart beats hardest… Read more
