A warm welcome to master of photography Albert Watson (www.albertwatson.net) in Spain. His new photo campaign for Macallan Whisky led him to the beautiful landscape of Andalusian town Jerez and to the northern region Santander. Due to our extensive network of branch offices, it has not been a big deal to deliver required light material to any shooting spot on the Iberian Peninsula. In cooperation with our ProductionPool partner we could fulfil all his needs. In the end of the day Mr. Watson had found the art of photography that he was looking for. “The light conditions have been terrific” he said. Cheers Mr. Watson.

In collaboration with Institut d’Estudis Fotográfics de Catalunya IEFC (www.iefc.es) and ModelsOn by Francina Agency (www.modelsonagency.com) SPOT STUDIO BARCELONA presented a unique opportunity for ambitioned photo students to get involved into professional workflow. “It was a perfect opportunity to apply 5 years worth of intense knowledge that was passed down to them like a torch through various university classes. It will be interesting to know what my grades will turn out to look like after spending that valuable time at SPOT STUDIO BARCELONA”, a student said after the class. SPOT is very proud to have hosted this event and will always be here to give a landing hand to new and ambitioned photographers. We want to create future. BE PART OF IT!
