I love this luxury product shot of the Omega Seamaster, it just oozes quality. It’s a nice watch too… do you think I could hang on to it….? Here’s more of my still life and product photography.

With a launch at the Bristol Sound and Vision HiFi show imminent I was asked to shoot the new LX range of speakers from Mission. The first two models, the LX2 and LX3, made their début at the show supported by a range of photography including a selection of cut-outs and the more creative images you see above. Looking pretty good I think you’ll agree and after a quick listen at the show I can confirm they sound pretty good too, as you would expect from Mission of course!

One of the great things about being a photographer today is the flexibility we have in producing a wide range of material out of one project. Below is a behind the scenes video from a shoot for a Pharma client we’ve put together from the materials we shot for the ads, videos and time-lapse movies, which is a great example.
As you can see the brief was to shoot a mountain bike broken down into it’s component parts and then arranged into a graphic layout. The agency needed to produce ads in addition to printed support material with a video piece for the product launch. So from the one shoot, using our specialist overhead camera rig, we produced two time-lapse movies of the bike and it’s components building up plus behind the scenes footage with a time-lapse of the shoot progressing, not forgetting, the hi res stills images for the main ad and lots of detail shots of the components for the support material. Phew!
It was a great shoot (ads to follow) and great to be able to produce so much material for the agency and clients in combining the stills and video into one shoot. All images and video ©Adrian Lyon. All rights reserved. Video music courtesy of Bonobo
I’m really pleased to announce the start of a new partnership with Gallery Stock who are a premier stock agency based in New York and London. Gallery Stock offers creative content from some of the most internationally distinguished photographers in the industry. From the Gallery Stock website “…The concept is simple: to license only the highest-quality photography to premium customers. Gallery Stock connects art buyers, photo editors, art directors, and designers with the photographers they know by name from the fine art world and the commercial assignment industry…”.
You can follow a link on the screen shot above to my images represented by Gallery Stock (which will be growing in number as the year progresses) and from there to the rest of their website. All images ©Adrian Lyon/Gallery Stock.
So do you remember the humble audio cassette and the majesty of the mix tape and recording your favourite tracks from the Top 40 on a Sunday afternoon? It’s hard to believe it’s fifty years old yet at the same time it seems like an age since it was a useful way of storing and reproducing music such has been the progress of technology in recent years.
It was never the most reliable of media with great arm-fulls regularly needing to be fished out of the deck before being feed gently back into the cassette plus it never really sounded good, especially after a spell in the car. But it did (eventually) allow music to become properly portable and accessible almost anywhere (assuming you had enough batteries) which is reason for celebration in it’s self.
Wonder how long it will be before we’re saying similar things about CDs and DVDs?

These are a two of my favorite shots of the Magico Q1 speakers and Jadis JA120 amp from a couple of recent shoots for HiFi+ magazine. Both are gorgeous products and phenomenally expensive too, but worth every penny, I’m told… (guys, may be next time I could borrow them for while?). Here’s more of my still life and product photography. All images ©Adrian Lyon.
To welcome in the New Year I’ve just added three new shots to my still life and product photography folio. I’m excited by this new work which is in a graphic style and I will be continuing to explore this direction in the coming weeks. Hope you like them! All images ©Adrian Lyon.
Here’s another cover shoot for HiFi Plus, this time of the exquisitely crafted Sonus Faber Amati. More images from the shoot were used to open and illustrate the review. I really enjoy getting to grips with curves and highly polished finishes of these products which is always an exciting challenge to light, I just wish they weren’t so heavy! Here’s more of product photography. All images ©Adrian Lyon
Following on from my last post about shooting interiors this is an example on a similar theme from a recent life style interior shoot for Leema Acoustics. These shots were all on location and for them to use for their advertising and HiFi show promotion. There’s more exciting work for Leema to follow soon. All images ©Adrian Lyon.
