Otis Paris

Otis is a huge international company well renowned for it's part to play within some of the most iconic buildings around the world.  Our job was to capture the interaction of people using Otis elevators in an everyday lifestyle way that illustrated this creatively and attractively.   

The backdrop was Le Defense in Paris with several allocated buildings for us to exploit, the team comprised of:

• Producer - Tess Dewing
• Creative director - Roj Whitlock- Jacob Bailey Advertising
• Video - Rudi Kennard  
• Stills Photographer / Director - Chris Reeve
• Photographers Assistant - Nikki Hazelton
• Stylist - Emma Lightbown
• Hair and Make-up - Christa Ellis
• Charles Towning - Model
• Christopher Pym - Model
• Nikki Donohoe - Model
• Oreke Mosheshe - Model
• Van Pham - Model
• Steven Cole - Model

There were plenty of logistical challenges to overcome, not least was how to control the lifts to open on command! Lift technicians were added to the entourage, all in all the whole team smoothed out the snags seamlessly and kept the buoyancy of the working atmosphere fun and fluid yet professional.

The resulting photographic stills and video work give an elegant, contemporary impression that are prove timeless with an international flavour.

The icing on the cake was us winning an International photography award for cityscape architecture
