BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE MERCEDES-BENZ PHOTOSHOOT

This week I art directed a two and a half day photoshoot for a Mercedes-Benz calendar down in Calvert Studio, in Leighton Buzzard. I've worked at the same studio nearly a year ago for another Mercedes Benz job. This time it was for a 2012 calendar for there brand new 'Actros' truck. 

Here are some photos taken from behind the scenes. Shots will follow up this post in a couple of weeks after the calendar is posted out. The truck is huge (the logo on the grill is bigger than most peoples heads), and it's got loads of new features added to it, which you're soon see.

GOOGLE READER

I'd like to share something that I found through someones blog called 'Google Reader'. You probably already know about it or already use it. 

But here's a list of creative blogs/websites I follow and like to look at in my evenings after work. I find it really useful as it holds each website's post in one place rather ran re visiting each website every day. I hope you find it as helpful as I do.
