Joseph Ford - Impossible Street Art

Beautiful new work created for JOSEPH FORD’s IMPOSSIBLE STREET ART series in collaboration with Spanish artist Antonyo Marest, whose works often reflect the influence of Art Deco and the Memphis design movement.

Antonyo’s vibrant, graphic use of colour is applied across the monochromatic canvas of a 225m brutalist dam - the Diga di Luzzone in Ticino, Switzerland, then rephotographed on location by Joseph Ford to beautiful illusory effect✨.

Chris Floyd - RES (Renewable Energy Systems)

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 🌱. 

Chris Floyd - Zapata Ranch

CHRIS FLOYD recently spent several days shooting at the wildly beautiful ZAPATA RANCH near Alamosa, Colorado. A glorious world of “cowgirls, cowboys, horses, cattle, trucks, denim, stetsons, leather goods, steaks, mountain ranges and bison”.

There he met with Kate Matheson, who he used to work with in the early 2000s when she was a picture editor at Conde Nast magazines in London. About 15 years ago she gave it all up, and in her own words, “arrived at the ranch with a suitcase of clothes and a Le Creuset pot, I got my best friend Pepe and my dream truck not long after. I’ll be leaving with a husband, 7 horses, 3 dogs, two babies and a chicken if we can catch her and at least 2 novels worth of stories.”

Next month she is leaving Colorado to move to Montana with her family, where they are taking over the running of her husband’s family’s ranch. Kate is pictured in the last 3 images and you can hear her story on the Ranchlands podcast here.

Fabulous photos Chris! Such a beautiful insight into ranch life in the American midwest.

 

Joseph Ford - Network Rail

EVOKE MIND + MATTER commission JOSEPH FORD to shoot a new public safety campaign for NETWORK RAIL. We cast, produced and created the CGI bubbles in post-production for our client.

Huge thanks to all those involved in the creation of these beautifully crafted ads 🙌.

 

Chris Floyd - Berry Brothers Rudd / Chateau Lafite

CHRIS FLOYD has been creating beautiful work for clients BERRY BROTHERS RUDD for several years now.

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.

Joseph Ford X Denis Meyers - Impossible Street Art #1

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 ⚡️
