I was very excited to recently be contacted by a virtual reality agency in Georgia, USA about a big VR campaign promoting America's wonderful National Parks with my 360 imagery. The campaign was run in association with USA Coca-Cola, Regal Cinemas and Xanterra Travel Collection, and was on the official Coca-Cola (US) website for three months. They selected three of my Death Valley 360 images that i shot for my "Redneck Road Trip" virtual tour, featuring the incredible Devil's Golf Course, Mesquite Dunes and The Racetrack. You can see screen grabs of the campaign below or you can experience my Redneck...

For those of you who may be interested in my mission about shooting in Moscow with my Lomography Lubitel 166+ Universal camera ... “From Russia With Lomo Love” ❤️ By Rod Edwards Winston Churchill once said - ‘Russia is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma’ … It hasn’t changed. It’s still a land of espionage and intrigue that’s never quite been fully deciphered by The West. As a photographer, I’m always looking for new and exciting places to explore, and Moscow with all its romance and mystique seemed the ideal destination for my first Russian mission… Minin...

Just finished a spring beach shoot for Getty Images stock ... I decided to go for a rather high key look, with burnt out pale shades, warm colours and dominant whites - producing a fresh feel that is very cutting edge and contemporary. I also opted for a dreamy look with beautiful 'bokeh' (out of focus areas) and flare. All the shots were backlit as it gives softer tones on the skin and adds vitality and energy to the imagery. The shoot was styled and art directed by myself, and shot on a lovely (almost) deserted beach in Norfolk with the naturally beautiful model Erika.

I was excited to be commissioned again by Visit Britain for their #OMGB campaign, this time up in Scotland and Northern England. The first shoot was at Dunnottar Castle near Aberdeen and then we travelled west to Glencoe and down to Wastwater in the Lake District. These shoots are always great fun but hard work - long days and early starts ... but the final images are worth the effort. VB then teamed up with Expedia to promote the locations which also tried in with a nationwide tv advert shoot. The partnership will run for a period of three years and is expected to generate more than $165 million...
