En Garde for Greatness

Photographer: Sam Chick

Creative Director: Dialogue

Agency: Bentley Motors Ltd

Dialogue agency chose photographer Sam Chick and post-production experts Mustard Post to create a set of images that portrayed the static poise, explosive power,  and performance of two comparable and highly dynamic subjects: 18-year-old world champion fencer @david.sosnov and the new Bentley Flying Spur Speed.

The images necessitated the application of multiple lighting techniques, including rapid frozen captures and long exposure light trails which traced the tip of David’s foil and directly illuminated the car.  Retouching alongside Sam in the studio allowed us to experiment with various techniques and compose the shots during the shoot to ensure we had all the elements needed for the retouching.
