Montevideo: Paralelo 60
Paralelo 60° is a new photo production company in South America. Based in Montevideo, the team has eight years of production experience across commercials, TV shows and films and has been working together as freelancers since 2009.
"Paralelo 60° is the parallel that marks the northern limit of the Atlantic Ocean and the Antarctic Treaty System. The latitudes south of this parallel are often referred to as the "Screaming 60s" due to the prevailing high-speed, westerly winds which can generate large waves in excess of 15m and peak wind speeds over 145 km/h. This is the parallel you have to cross if you are going by boat to the Antarctica as we did in January 2014.
For our last project we decided to go a bit more extreme than usual, travelling by boat to the Uruguayan base in Antartica. It was a long sea journey but the beauty of the silence and all that white was definitely worth it."

Love Montevideo advertising photographers
Love's photographs are the result of a combination of thought and talent from a multidisciplinary team that offers its own distinct approach. The company is the fusion of four complementary minds: an art director/post producer who has worked at notable advertising agencies; a photographer/director of photography who became immersed in the profession; a copywriter/creative advertising director; and a producer who distanced himself from engineering and sound to focus on image.
Love makes use of a diverse range of locations and the broad range of human talents found in Uruguay, a country enriched by a varied population of European, African American and Oriental descent. Love Photographic Productions has grown by handling projects for the most important brands in the Uruguayan, Mexican and Central American markets.
Featured in this Showcase are some recent examples of work "that required nothing more than getting together, thinking and doing things right."
