Horton-Stephens, London's leading photographers' agents for over 25 years, have been busy as usual shooting stills and moving image, from online content to TVC. Featured in this Spotlight is a selection of new work, but be sure to visit the site for a full run-down, including amazing motion CG work by Revenant and their latest signing Samuel McElwee. 

Horton-Stephens is well-known for representing a world-class group of photographers, but moving image has become a bigger and bigger part of what the team do. Great production remains key to the success of all their shoots. They are friendly and approachable, with an encyclopaedic knowledge of lighting, casting, locations (in the UK and worldwide), set building, timings, post-production, cgi and moving image - whether shooting TVCs or on the back of TVCs (a very particular challenge that they deal with often, where they only have moments to get the shot), they have done it all.

"Characterised by heart-stopping stunts and adrenaline-charged tricks, the art of BikeLife has become a dynamic sport with an uninhibited spirit. Creating an extensive project of stunning stills and moving image, award-winning photographer and director Matthew Joseph hit the streets of Baltimore and New York to capture the BikeLife community in action.

More standout work for Matt includes the recent moving image project ‘Cameron’ which tells an epic story of captivating athletics shot in the fast-paced world of a young South African making a splash on the Cape Town parkour scene.

We’re delighted to announce that Matt is a finalist in this year’s upcoming AOP awards, where both the Cameron and BikeLife projects have been selected to appear in the finalist’s exhibition, and we’re looking forward to celebrating his work at the 38th annual awards where the competition winners will be revealed at the end of the summer! Best of luck to all the finalists."
