At the start of the COVID-19 outbreak in the Netherlands, Nieuw Creatief Peil from Rotterdam reached out to us to shoot an outdoor campaign for Mantelfoon. Concept was a yellow oldschool phone held in several positions by hand models. We arranged all safety regulations in our studio so we could work at a 2 meters distance.

After post production and delivery the campaign was postponed by NCP because nobody was traveling by metro or bus, and that's were the campaign was shown. Fortunately a month later public transport was started up again. Quick thinking by NCP made this campaign a great succes! Click here for all images.

What a simple short phone call can lead to... "Camiel, this is Niek van den Broek of Hotel Mercure Tilburg. We are about to remodel the hotel and we thought it was a fun idea to use images of various places in Tilburg for each separate room.. Do you have any in your archive by any chance?"

As we work commissioned for our clients we don't use images twice. So Camiel started with a list of 15 landmarks in Tilburg. The first one he shot was of the Town Hall "Paleis Raadhuis". He choose the twilight as setting. The dark indigo color of the sky provides calmness and tranquility which suits the idea of a nice rest at your hotel room after exploring the beautiful city.

Camiel ended up shooting 86 unique images during twilight. A project that lasted for 3 years: https://mercure-tilburg.nl/tilburg-twilight

In 2018 KETER asked us to produce visual content for new products in outdoor furniture. Because of cost efficiency KETER desired to shoot film and photography in one sequence. Together with DSPH we made a 'military' plan. Combining photo and film sets with an eye for continuity such as clothing, position of the sun, etc. During 4 days we shot several videos and numerous photos.
