Adrian Lander was born and educated in England where he trained in photography. He followed his passion for travel and photography around the world, finally settling in Australia where he has spent the last 20 years. He is one of Australia's leading advertising photographers and his work is known for its unique style and diversity.

Adrian's images have been part of many successful (and award-winning) advertising campaigns, books and personal exhibitions. His clients include PepsiCo, Schweppes, Lion, Carlton United Brewery, many Australian wineries, NAB and AGL and Origin to name a few.

Adrian has his own fully equipped studio in Melbourne with an in-house producer.

Featured in this Spotlight is recent work by Christoph Siegert, including the Dräger X-plore 8000. To test the brand-new breathing apparatus its product manager wore it in a carwash. Christoph headed the production alongside the creative team from agency Pixelpark. So far, the video has gained over 380,000 likes on his Facebook page!

For fruit agents Global Fruit Point, Christoph shot life in the vineyards where grapes are harvested before being shipped around the world. In his images, we get an insight into working under the vines as well as the music and musings that accompany daily life.

Together with the agency husare, a coherent concept for photo and film shoots was developed featuring the modern lifestyle of e-scooters. Christoph shot both photos and videos for emco's new electro-scooter campaign, and with eight film clips in a modern Instagram look created the emco reel.

Christoph also shot at authorised Rolex distributor and service point jeweller Mahlberg & Meyer, capturing the atmosphere behind the scenes. The concepts for four films were created and filmed on location in northern Germany.

Being on the road this summer for Orlen, Christoph photographed petrol stations all over Germany. Finally, he filmed the star team at Vattenfall Cyclassics featuring both the company's national and international CEOs.

Dan Escobar is a versatile photographer who is inspired by the execution of strong concepts.

He spends his spare time in San Francisco trying to figure out his kids and waiting for the Giants to win another World Series.

'In Your Mind' by Derrick Santini, June 11th-22nd 2015.

Pertwee, Anderson & Gold gallery presents Derrick’s third series of Lenticular photo-works. A natural evolution in form and technique from his previous two London shows 'I Love You, I want To Fuck You’ at MEN Gallery and ‘Metamorphosis’ at SCREAM gallery. The new show is a figurative and abstract exploration of the beauty of the colour of love, suspended and fluid.

An intimate exploration of the intensity and weightlessness of desire and feelings that can be caught in a brief moment - a turn and look to hold your gaze, another turn and gone, one wonders where the brief moment leaves us - is it a hold of love, of just beauty, is it to be held and cherished or a transitory brief encounter, and away, exposing the vulnerability and delicateness of the attainable and the unattainable. Love.

PRIVATE VIEW: Invitation only reception on Thursday 11 June 2015 from 6pm – 10pm. For further information or to attend the Private View please contact Heather Finlay at Sainted PR by email or on +44(0)20 3642 3479.

The year has started with some inspiring photo and film assignments that have enabled Johannes Knuth to travel to some breath-taking locations.

"My vibrant, natural photo and film imagery shows pure life - authentic moments captured from a range of different and sometimes unexpected perspectives. This is why some clients call me 'the angle man'."

Johannes' images are distinctly emotional, honest and loaded with life and fun. His lively and dynamic photographs live long after the pose. "It’s all about the lust, experience and feelings of life!"

He is an American Photography winner and has been mentioned as one of the industry’s most talented artists and creatives. Clients include Procter & Gamble, Siemens, Sony Music, TCM, Columbia Records, Sunrise, E.ON Energy and many more.

With his still images Karsten Koch tells stories. When the moving image is added, the story is deeper. Having worked in film for many years, Karsten now takes the medium for granted.

"I like to expand the story with the necessary film takes. It remains the same staging, broken down and just a little more complex. And then I have great fun selecting the emotional music to use. All of this completes the feeling while watching. It is a great medium to tell stories."

Recent projects include Joy Sportswear in Cape Town where Karsten produced a short in-store movie parallel to the current image. He also completed two personal projects.

Lukas Tielke is a director and D.O.P. based in Dusseldorf and Hamburg.

Clients include Ante Holz, Arsenal London, Fiat, G-Shock, Intersport, Falk, Jacobs, Nine Queens, Pantherwerke, O'Neill, Red Bull, Suzuki, Vaude, and Ytong.

Frankfurt/Main-based photographer and director Maik Scharfscheer has implemented several films and shoots for a range of companies and agencies. He develops scripts in conjunction with agencies and often takes on the role of producer.

In the last year Maik has been nominated for over 10 awards. He won a Bronze Lion at Cannes for design project 'The Paper Skin' for Fedrigoni in cooperation with agency Geometry Global. He was also responsible for the Leica campaign with Danny MacAskill in Cape Town which won Gold at the annual Multimedia Film Awards.

Maik also shot the latest TV spot for DHU-Schüssler Salze, Leica T Polishing ('the most Boring Ad') that attracted widespread media attention, the new Leica T image film, and a trailer on the strip in Kitzbühl for Huck Netze.

Maik loves to combine photography and film in one project and enjoys working with manageable creative teams - which explains why he is so often accompanied by cameraman Thomas Stoll, with whom he has developed and implemented numerous projects.
