ATLD Latest News



2009

October - December:
• The last quarter of this year turned out to be an incredibly busy spell for us. As well as fitting in jobs from as far afield as Aberdeen, Belfast and Wolverhampton and local jobs in Glasgow, we also spent a lot of time giving our website a much needed face lift. Hopefully it has a much cleaner look now as well as presenting the relevant information more clearly and perhaps most importantly showing off our photographic work in a much better and more accessible way. We still have more work to do, particularly on the lighting design section, but hopefully we are getting there.

September:
• Another busy month with work out in Barcelona on the EPT Poker Tournament and also in Portugal for the GP2 motor racing

August:
• Glamour shoot for Scottish based Promotional Company.

July:
• Commercial Interiors and Food Shoot for Scottish Care Homes Company.

June:
Adrian used the FPS Wholehog 3 lighting desk on a live show this month. This is the first time the desk has been used in anger and in a live environment since he helped with the beta testing back in 2002. The Hog 3 behaved fairly well albeit with a few problems. Overall the desk impressed and delivered.
Back with Formula 1 for the Turkish Grand Prix, Sunday June 7th.


April & May:
• On the road again, this time travelling around Scotland for a commercial stills shoot.

New album from Kuffdam entitled 'Network' is now in the shops. From production sensation to an in demand DJ, Kuffdam has well and truly stepped up into the trance elite with performances at some of the worlds leading events and a continual production presence in the cd wallets and Ableton folders of the worlds leading jocks. A favourite with the trance establishment world wide and especially Paul van Dyk and his Vandit imprint, 2008 saw Kuffdam come of age coupling a groundbreaking album on Vandit with a world tour taking in the biggest and best clubs and events worldwide. Kuffdam’s monthly radio show Club Damage on DI.fm and its accompanying podcast has reached out to clubbers worldwide. See more images that we shot for the album.

• Promotional shoot for the motion picture 'Three And Out' for Rovinge Motion Picture Company. This involved actor Gary Lewis who played the part of Callaghan in the film. Gary is also well known as Billy Elliot's dad from the film of the same name. He was directed by Martin Scorsese alongside Daniel Day Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz in 'Gangs of New York', he was in 'Ae Fond Kiss', 'Carla's Song', 'My Name Is Joe', 'Shallow Grave', and on TV - 'Prime Suspect', 'Rebus' and 'Taggart' to name but a few. He has also received a BAFTA nomination and British Actor of the Year nomination. This was a challenging shoot for us as we were asked at very short notice to provide costume and props as well as do the shoot. The costume by way of a set of pyjamas wasn't too difficult but a shotgun was a little more challenging. Yes, a shotgun. We did however come up with the goods and the shoot went ahead on time. This shoot was done at John Cooper's hire studio in the West End of Glasgow. Thanks to John for accommodating us at such short notice.
