Project: Automotive Photography
Client: Hillside Leisure
Vehicle: 6m MAN TGE campervan
Location: North Wales
This project featured a 6m MAN TGE campervan, captured in one of Wales’ most striking coastal locations — Black Rock Sands, where vehicles can be driven directly onto the beach. The goal was to produce photography and video content that resonated with the spirit of freedom, exploration, and everyday adventure. The material was used across social campaigns, promotional platforms, and even the cover of the NEC Camping & Caravan Show magazine.
The creative direction leaned toward summer, focused on paddle boarding and beach life, but the shoot took place in the depths of winter, making things far from simple.
While the forecast promised sunshine, the vehicle wasn’t available until the following day, by which point the weather had shifted dramatically. Heavy rain meant working flat-out during brief breaks in the weather, coordinating crew and models under intense pressure to capture the shots needed.
The real test came in post-production. Replacing skies, balancing footage, and managing the consistency of visuals became a major part of the workflow, a level of editing that adds both time and cost.
Despite the setbacks, the end result delivers exactly what was intended: an authentic, aspirational story of adventure, lifestyle, and campervan living.
