The second in a series of a short films by PHIL FISK entitled INSIDE OUT, showing the perspective of people’s inner lives on one side of the window and that of the outside world on the other. The films are deliberately shot in portrait format to fully frame the window.
ANNIAH is a young aspiring actor, who Phil found through a local theatre group - this was her first time acting on camera.
Thanks also to Martin at The Lemonade Factory and Vic Twyman for props and set dressing 🏏!
Introducing a series of a short films by PHIL FISK entitled INSIDE OUT, showing the perspective of people’s inner lives on one side of the window and that of the outside world on the other. The films are deliberately shot in portrait format to fully frame the window.
The first features TINA, Phil’s friend and a podcaster who talks a lot about mental health, so this vignette is in harmony with how she lives her life.
Thanks also to Martin at The Lemonade Factory, Vic Twyman for props and set dressing and the amazing make skills of Corrine Robinson for Tina’s extra sparkle ✨!
First glimpse of a stunning new commission captured by PHIL FISK for SALT THINKING for a worldwide campaign for a blood cancer treatment. Shot over 2 days with 3 models, we created a contemporary, positive visual language for the product launch. Colour and gradations all caught in camera to ensure perfect synch with the moving image sequences.
We are really proud of this beautiful body of work 🙌.
Huge thanks to ALL our wonderful team including stylist Vic Twyman, DOP / editor Adrian Wolfson and Ela Calin for her awesome retouching.
And also to Perma Collective for another fabulous, low impact production. (They also helped us to visualise the emissions generated by the shoot, which worked out at just 6% of the industry average.)
JOSEPH FORD shoots a trio of live action recruitment spots for the MARINE NATIONALE (French Navy), commissioned by INSIGN, France, and collaborating with the amazing team at WERLEN MEYER who created the animations.
RES (Renewable Energy Systems) commissioned Chris Floyd to capture this wonderful film on location in Sweden.
It focusses on a groundbreaking project in the Ånge region to produce hydrogen energy using wind power as the source, and features local people and members of the RES team, highlighting the role of green hydrogen in the fight against climate change.
Chris has worked regularly with RES for over a decade, creating a wealth of compelling photography and over 20 films!
They are one of many clients with whom he has nurtured a close creative relationship, and who trust him to deliver beautifully crafted imagery to communicate their brand ethos 🌱.
PUBLICIS WORLDWIDE commissioned JOSEPH FORD to shoot the worldwide launch campaign (motion and photography) for NESCAFE’s Barista style, ready-to-drink coffees - Cappucino, Americano and Latte Caramel.
Joseph captured film and stills featuring some super talented dancers flipping and somersaulting through the studio as well as slo-mo coffee closeups.
Huge thanks to our massive and amazing team for helping to create these fab visuals 🙌
CHRIS FLOYD was commissioned by Sewing Bee judge / Head “Boyo” at COMMUNITY CLOTHING, PATRICK GRANT, to produce this lush film for their new range of 🏴🩲 WELSH PANTS 🩲🏴✨.
Chris and his team filmed in the Welsh valleys and villages - capturing pants along with designers, makers and wearers for the new range of undies!
There’s a really interesting story behind it all…
“Not many people know this, but until not that long ago the best pants in the world were made in Wales - in towns like Aberbargoed, Ystalyfera, Rhymney and New Tredegar.
They made the Wonderbra in Pontllanfraith.
But then one by one the factories closed and a proud manufacturing tradition was lost. But the people and their wonderful skills remain.
Community Clothing makes clothes in 42 factories across the UK. But in the past they have always worked with existing factories, filling spare capacity. Now they’re trying to restart major manufacturing from scratch.
To get production off the ground Community Clothing needs orders. Customers are asked to pre-order through the campaign website and the ambitious brand is hoping to secure orders for 10,000 pieces of underwear.
If the target is reached then Community Clothing will use that to kickstart regular production and it is hoped that this will lead to as many as 50 skilled staff being brought back to the sewing room in the short term. “
Fabulous film 🙌 ! Impeccable pants! (We’ve got ours on pre-order - get yours here!)
Delicious new work for a spring campaign captured for STARBUCKS by FRANKIE TURNER for WE ARE SOCIAL.
Huge thanks to our amazing all female crew, taking care of everything from production through to retouching 💘

More work from a new project by Joseph Ford - IMPOSSIBLE STREET ART - created in collaboration with renowned street artists to showcase the work they would create if there were NO LIMITS...
4/8 JOSEPH FORD X MORLEY. Subway, Los Angeles.
Morley is a street artist and author whose iconic typographic posters feel like feel like "love notes, private jokes, public secrets or a last testament"... he wheatpastes them at locations throughout the city of Los Angeles.
CHRIS FLOYD has been creating beautiful work for clients BERRY BROTHERS RUDD for several years now. He was recently commissioned to travel to the rolling terroire of the CHATEAU LAFITE vineyard in Bordeaux where he met executive chairwoman Saskia Rothschild and her wonderful team, who together produce the much heralded wines from the estate (which has been in Saskia’s family for 160 years).
Chris felt it was a real privilege to have such extensive access to the estate whilst creating this body of work, and was delighted to be able to capture some beautiful perspectives on the people and the place. We have pleasure in sharing a selection below.

Flock are delighted to introduce a new project by JOSEPH FORD created in collaboration with a global roster of renowned street artists.
IMPOSSIBLE STREET ART is an ongoing project showcasing “the work street artists would create if there were no limits”... in terms of scale, accessibility, safety, regulations etc, throwing open a world of potential to create work on landscape-scale vistas and inaccessible or protected sites of architectural heritage - ranging from England's Seven Sisters chalk cliffs to the Pantheon in Paris and the centre strip of a Los Angeles freeway.
Over the coming weeks we will be featuring the first 8 artworks, starting here with an image created in collaboration with Belgian typographer / 'urban artist' DENIS MEYERS, whose previous work ranges from live painting performances, skateboard and beer glass designs to painting an astonishing 25,000 m² of an abandoned building which was scheduled for demolition…
Please scroll down for a peek behind the scenes on location at the National Theatre (a grade 2 listed building designed by Brutalist architect Denys Lasdun in 1963) on London’s South Bank - plus an insight into the amazing creation process!
Please watch this space for more of Joseph’s collaborative artworks coming soon ⚡️
Proof that good things come to those who wait…!
In early 2020, Nina Dodds started knitting this sweater, based on a design street artist Denis Meyers created to match his installation at MAUSA Vauban (Museum of Urban and Street Art).
Joseph was supposed to travel to Alsace to photograph Denis wearing the jumper at the end of March 2020, but Covid had other ideas. The shoot was rescheduled for March 2021 but the pandemic put a halt to that plan too.
Finally, in March 2022 Denis and Joseph got to shoot this stunning portrait for Joseph’s INVISIBLE JUMPERS project.

After seeing his Invisible Jumpers project, ARNOLD WORLDWIDE commissioned Joseph to work on a multifaceted campaign for a pharmaceutical skin care product including stills, cinemagraphs and films, using the wardrobe and location design techniques he’d developed for his personal project. Shot on location over a two month period in Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and California, using real patients in both camouflaged and lifestyle scenarios, Joseph produced over 80 final assets including stills and cinemagraphs.
The overall look of the camouflage areas were developed by Joseph to ensure the patients would melt into their backgrounds and created the wardrobe brief for both stills and TVC.
The shooting process included several remote shoots completed from the UK with a live stream from the camera on set, directing models and lighting whilst his assistant in the USA physically triggered the camera. Stills and cinemagraph post-production was managed by Joseph and Flock for the US agency.
Here’s one of the concepts in full, where the twin swimmers are camouflaged and hidden in their environment to their full reveal post-treatment, living their best lives.
We are delighted to announce that Joseph Ford’s moooo-ving image portrayal of farmer Chris and his cows is a finalist in the 2022 AOP Awards Lifestyle category. 🐮 👏
During the lockdowns of 2020 (when official skateparks were closed), a group of enterprising skaters found an abandoned car park near the South Circular and established the beginnings of “The Grove”…
Phil Fisk captured the story of the space in this wonderful film, which we are delighted to announce is a finalist in the Documentary Category at this year’s AOP Awards
In an abandoned pub carpark on the A205 in South London, local kids were creating ramps and an assortment of skate park structures, splicing old gas canisters, wooden planks, pallets, bags of cement, rubble, drinks cans, abandoned sofas - anything and everything, to create their own home-grown skatepark - and likewise establish a safe place for themselves, away from the traffic, the pandemic and authority.
Safe… if you discount the odd broken wrist and elbow graze.
Safe… as an outdoor space where anyone with or without a board could hang out.
Initially they were chased away by security guards but soon found support for their endeavours from local residents, councillors and even Dulwich College Estate who own the land.
Phil filmed the steady transformation of the abandoned space, during the days and nights as winter drew in - “trying to capture the atmosphere, tricks (and constructions) as they happened without interfering with the natural flow of the space.”
The film opens with a shot of the sun coming up over a large tree… set against a soundscape of distant traffic, scrapes and clatters, skateboard wheels rolling over concrete and snippets of caught conversation, the resulting film is beautiful, contemplative and ultimately hopeful…
Phil hopes it, “feels something like a compressed day in the life of The Grove in which 6 months feels like 24 hours.”
Although the future is uncertain, it looks as if, for now, The Grove is here to stay…
