Shot on location in London and Hertfordshire for JWT London the pictures were art directed by Rob Spicer & writer Adam Griffin. A big thanks to creative director Russell Ramsey for his support, suggestions and commitment to this very worthy charity.
Many thanks to Rob and Adam for their fabulous styling and model making, to Becca at Locate Productions for producing, in record time, the two urban locations and crashed cars.
Thanks also to Stuart Heyburn, all at Hogarth and last but not least Bronwen Foster–Butler
For more details about CADD:

The Association of Photographers Awards took place last Thursday in West London. A great night was had by all with an excellent exhibition of finalists showing in a large new space that was much needed.
I have “Stark Raving Mad” in this years “Non Commissioned Moving Image“ category. Moving image is a first for the AOP awards in 2011 and it is great to see film now included.

I have just shot six new landscapes in Britain featuring a sporting moment – five are up on my site, (in the “Life” section), with more to follow in the coming weeks. Here is an example of one the pictures – “Katie McDonnell, Hadrians Wall”.
This is an ongoing personal project and not commissioned.

Foto8 Summershow 2011
9 July – 12 August
I have two pictures in this years Photo8 show at the Host gallery.
The Foto8 Summershow is London’s greatest photographic spectacle, a veritable ‘salon de photographie’ – an inspiring array of framed and mounted images of all shapes and sizes, installed from floor to ceiling. London’s prestigious HOST Gallery in EC1 is the setting for the Summershow where 150 images will be exhibited: to be seen and judged by respected industry professionals from the photography, arts and media worlds. This year, the print exhibition will open on 8 July with our now famous launch party, with the exhibition continuing until the 12 August.

I am One Eyeland's "photographer of the month":
Personal work I shot for the Motor Neurone Disease Society has got into this year AP-AI Awards. The shots show various classical string players practicing without their instruments at everyday locations.
The shots were taken to raise awareness for a one off concert in July to raise money for this hard working charity.
Here is one shot from the series of "The Endellion Quartet".
