Lifestyle Advertising Photographer for Campervan Brands
Creating Authentic, Adventure-Driven Visuals for the Hillside Hopton on the MAN TGE. When Hillside Leisure launched the Hopton campervan, built on the 6m MAN TGE, they needed more than just product images. They wanted to tell a story. One that captures the freedom, lifestyle, and spirit of everyday adventure that their customers seek.
So they brought us in for a full-location photography and video production shoot at one of the UK’s most dramatic beach destinations: Black Rock Sands in North Wales, where vehicles can be driven directly onto the sand.

Shooting Summer in Winter: Behind the Scenes on Location
While the brief was all about sunny paddleboarding and beach life, the reality was harsh. The shoot took place in the depths of winter under high winds, unpredictable rain, and tight schedules.
We arrived under a clear forecast—but the campervan wasn’t available until the next day, and the weather changed dramatically. Heavy rain set in, and we had to work fast, capturing what we needed in brief breaks of light, coordinating crew and models under serious time pressure.
While drone footage was planned, the conditions were too severe to safely fly, and we made the call to focus our time on what we could control: on-the-ground visuals that still delivered the aspirational mood.

Working with Real Models, Not Stock Moments
or this shoot, we sourced authentic lifestyle models via Instagram, helping us strike the perfect balance between relatable content and premium campaign quality.
This approach creates a natural, lived-in feel that connects more deeply with campervan and travel audiences—while still being polished enough for magazine covers and high-end advertising.

- Colour balancing across all media

- Editing multiple formats for magazine, web, and social
This meticulous post workflow ensured that despite winter conditions, the final assets delivered a clear summer lifestyle message—without compromising authenticity.
