Perry Curties London advertising photographers

"For this edition of Showcase UK I’ve chosen to focus on a new set of motion portraits of Charlize Theron, Matthias Schoenaerts, Kiki Layne and the rest of the cast of Netflix's new film - The Old Guard. 

It was shot this time last year using motion control robotics alongside conventional cameras and a meticulous setup process which allowed us to perfectly capture some very complicated shots of each character in only one or two takes. Which makes for happy talent and happy producers.

2019 was a busy year for my team and I, so when cinemas start showing big movies again you will see a lot more of my photographic and moving image work on a billboard (or instagram feed) near you soon.

Get in touch if you'd like to find out how motion control could add a new dimension to your project while removing the element of risk that often accompanies moving image productions.
