It’s certainly been a strange and at times uneventful year so when I was asked if I’d be interested in shooting an ad in Spain, my reaction was strongly positive to say the least!

This project gave me the opportunity to work with two new and excellent companies - Studio Yes, a Shoreditch based production company and Vagabond, who facilitated production alongside Studio Yes in Spain.

Our mission was to head down to Murcia in the south and shoot with farmers on a lemon farm for the launch of Bombay Sapphire’s new gin ‘Premier Cru’. With the gin highlighting its use of locally grown lemon peel as one of its ten botanicals, our part documentary part scripted film needed to hone in on all the things that make that process and execution special.

It just so happened that we were shooting over the hottest day on Spanish record with a max temperature of 48 degrees, I didn’t envy my DP Alistair!
