22nd October 2008: September was an incredibly busy month with two major
events in the shape of the PSP Southampton Boat Show and the Skandia Sail
for Gold Regatta in Weymouth taking the team out of London for a couple of
weeks. We have also been busy with corporate work for a range of our city
clients as well including Artemis, PWC and Palomon.

We have been very busy testing the new Online Press Office: World Wide

out to market.

4th September 2008: Another very busy summer has passed in a blur of activity with July being incredibly busy with the Clipper Race ending in Liverpool after a hugely successful 10 months. During that period, our online distribution service, World Wide Images supplied the official online image library for Race and saw over 10,000 images downloaded by media from 48 countries.

In mid-July we were in Denmark for the Volvo Youth Worlds, followed by the British International Motor Show at ExCeL in London. It was a huge success and we saw publications around the world, as many major manufacturers used the show to announce new models. World Wide Images was again chosen as the official image library for the event and we saw over 5,000 images downloaded by media all around the world in 49 countries.

We went straight from London to the south coast, to shoot Skandia Cowes Week, which after 14 fantastic years, Skandia’s sponsorship of the event came to an end. With the Olympics starting half-way through the event, we were worried that this year we might have seen a drop in media coverage, but are worries were unfounded as we again achieved huge levels of coverage for Skandia in their final year of title sponsorship.

During Cowes Week, we also had a team working on the iShares Cup that was taking place there. It produced stunning images as the 40 foot racing machines provided spectacular imagery for us, securing publications around the world. This event is what sailing is about, high octane, close racing and easily accessible to the crowds watching on the shore – absolutely superb.

Our team have also been very busy with consumer and corporate PR photography during the summer, working for many of our clients on a wide-ranging variety of briefs from product launches to corporate business portraits.

The other area we have been very busy with behind the scenes is the development of World Wide Images, which will be launched in the coming weeks as the most cutting edge online media facilty available today……Watch this space!

strong global coverage for the title sponsors Artemis.

We also worked on the fantastic Moonwalk for the event organisers Walk the

4th March 2008: VELUX 5 OCEANS WINS ESA INTERNATIONAL SPONSORSHIP AWARD with onEdition Photography being recognised by VELUX 5 Oceans for playing an "integral part" in the media success of the race.

The VELUX 5 OCEANS celebrated last night at the annual Hollis Sponsorship

Awards in London as it won the prestigious ESA International Sponsorship

Award. VELUX, the worldwide roof window and design company, was recognised

for its success in supporting the 5 OCEANS event, the classic solo round the world yacht race organised by Clipper Ventures PLC. Billed as 'The Ultimate Solo Challenge', The Clipper Ventures media team delivered a winning platform for VELUX, creating over €66 million of global media value for the sponsor.

Tim Kelly, Director of Communications, VELUX 5 OCEANS commented "onEdition

Photography were an integral part of the VELUX 5 OCEANS media team from day

one of the last event. Their unparalleled levels of service, professionalism and truly global distribution, combined with their full service online image gallery, brought the story of the race to people around the world, no matter when or where the drama was taking place. The iconic photos of the Bay of Biscay storm went around the world to national newspapers and took our race to a huge audience beyond sailing. Overall, the photographic imagery was one of the most significant factors in delivering the unprecedented media exposure created for VELUX and strengthening the brand of 'The Ultimate Solo Challenge."

The VELUX 5 OCEANS was up against respected and high profile sponsorships,

such as the Eon FA Cup and the Guinness Rugby Premiership. The race was the

only yachting event to even be shortlisted this year and illustrates the global commercial success of the event, and in turn providing a massive boost for the sport of sailing and its sponsorship profile.

onEdition Photography Director, Matthew Dickens said "We are very proud to

have been involved in the huge media success of this event. Working strategically with the VELUX 5 Oceans media team, we were able to place a vast range of imagery into titles around the globe, bringing the race to an unprecedented audience.

"The event also attracted a huge number of global media titles to our image library, World Wide Images- http://www.w-w-i.com/. During the race we had in excess of 26,000 images downloaded by media in over 80 countries around the world.

"onEdition Photography were also recognised for their photography of this event, winning both the Sven Simon Preis 2007: Sports photograph of the year (DIE WELT/WELT am SONNTAG, Germany) and the British Press Photographers Association: Sports Feature of the year 2007, during last year.”

 

1st January 2008: It has been a very busy year with lots of changes at onEdition. Susie Roberts joined us to look after the office and post production and we said goodbye to Tim Stonton who spent three years looking after World Wide Images and all of our distribution -his role as Operations Manager was taken over by Martin Silnevs. Another change was in the form of partner Anthony Upton, who has moved on to pursue new directions, having resigned as a director in the Autumn. The good news is that Anthony will still continue to work with onEdition, as a freelance photographer which is great.

It has been a very successful year for the company and we have continued to work on major events as the official photographers and our regional photographer service, with over 50 photographers around the country has gone from strength to strength working on many varied campaigns for our clients.

World Wide Images, has seen a huge growth in the number of registered media downloading free to use editorial images around the world and we have thousands of media from over 100 countries actively using the site on a daily basis.

5th June 2007: It has been an incredibly busy period for the onEdition team over the last 3 months. We now have a team of over 40 photographers working for us and have been very busy both internationally and around the UK with various events. 

We finished the VELUX 5 Oceans event in early May in Bilbao and saw Sir Robin Knox-Johnston coming back home to a tremendous welcome in Portsmouth after his magnificent performance in the race – a huge well done to Sir Robin - we all have enormous admiration for him. The VELUX 5 Oceans race has been an incredible result in terms of media coverage. onEdition secured fantastic levels of international coverage for the event via our comprehensive targeted international distribution of images around the world. The world’s media from our V5O gallery on our online image library, World Wide Images, has downloaded over 25,000 images.  So far two major international awards for the team have been won for the outstanding photography shot during this event.

Our team of photographers around the country worked on a brand new competition, the Tesco U13's cup - a football tournament held around the country to increase the number of boys playing community football. Broken up into 4 regions; England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - each region, following a national final put forward a team to the finals. The final, played at the City of Manchester Stadium saw the English team Harpfield FC from Stoke win the final. We achieved fantastic regional coverage around the country for the duration of the event, working along with our media partners Sportsbeat, we provided free copy and images from the event to all of the teams regional newspapers - leading to huge media coverage being generated for the event.

We were also the official photographers again for Flora, for the Flora London Marathon, Playtex Moonwalk and the Tesco Race for Life. Again we achieved very strong levels of coverage for these amazing events - a great privilege to work on these incredible events with thousands of participants raising many millions for charity.

We have also been very busy with our wide range of PR clients, working with a large number of diverse consumer clients including Heineken, Yellow Pages, Sugar Puffs, BP, Cobra Beer, Norwich Union and many more high profile clients.

We have a large number of major projects coming up and the onEdition team is looking forward to a busy summer.

11th April 2007: onEdition Photography has picked up another prestigious photographic award -this time at the British Press Photographers Association Awards, with a photograph of Bernard Stamm's Cheminees Poujoulat, fighting for survival in hurricane force winds in the Bay of Biscay, the day after the start of the VELUX 5 Oceans round the world yacht race.

The image has already won the Sven Simon Preis in Germany and now takes
first place in the BPPA's Sports Feature category which was one of 12
categories, with entries from over 300 photographers from over 25 countries.
The 6,000 images were judged by a panel of distinguished photographers,
including the double Pulitzer prize-winner Horst Faas, and twice Chair of
World Press Photo, Roger Hutchings, the BPPA Chairman Jeff Moore and John
Downing MBE. The jurors met in a closed two-day session to view and discuss
every submitted entry using both slide shows and hard copy prints.

Dan Towers who shot the image said 'It is a great honour to win the award,
especially as it was judged by your peers in the industry and another
fantastic recognition for the agency'

23rd March 2007: onEdition have been selected as the official photographers
again for two more prestigious events. They will be working on the JP Morgan
Asset Management Round the Island Race on the 23rd of June and also on the
Volvo ISAF Youth Worlds in Canada in July. They were appointed last year by
Into the Blue and the re-appointment on both of these exciting events is a
reflection of the success achieved by the onEdition team.

27th February 2007: onEdition have again been chosen as the official photographers for the Dinghy Sailing Show, held annually at Alexandra Palace in North London. The
show, held on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of March is the premier event for dinghy sailors and the team are again very much looking forward to working on the event.

22nd February 2007: onEdition Photography has won first prize in an international photographic competition-winning the prestigious German Sven-Simon-Preis award.

The judges, led by the German tennis star Boris Becker, described the shot as 'Amazing' -'it looked more like a painting than a photograph' commented Christian Putsch, Picture Editor of DIE WELT/WELT am SONNTAG the leading German National newspapers who run the award.

The image was shot in the Bay of Biscay, shortly after the start of the VELUX 5 Oceans, solo round the world yacht race, which the onEdition team are the official photographers for. Within hours of the start the fleet were hit by a huge storm, gusting at over 70 knots (77mph). Photographer Dan Towers set off in a helicopter, for what could only be described as a roller coaster ride, to try and catch up the the besieged fleet. One of the resulting images was of Swiss solo sailor Bernard Stamm and his yacht, Cheminees Poujoulat, fighting for survival in huge seas and wind, which was
awarded as the winning shot of the annual competition.

Clare MacNaughton, Communications Director for the VELUX 5 Oceans said 'Sometimes planning plus circumstance equals unprecedented results, but even with the all the right ingredients it takes an exceptional chef to produce a Michelin star meal. Dan Towers VELUX 5 Oceans storm image is a Carpe Diem moment, brilliantly shot and capturing exquisitely the essence of our race and the endeavour of the soloskipper. Hanging out of a single engine helicopter, with the doors removed, in 70 knots of breeze to get the shot is no small undertaking either. We are delighted that this image is getting the recognition that it deserves'.

Dan is the first non-German photographer ever to win the award and receives both the accolade and a cash prize of €12,500. Dan commented; 'It is a great honour and very much a team award. The guys that work with me are a close and very dedicated team -without them this award would not have happened and they will all be getting a share of the prize money. It is great to have your work recognised in this way, especially after all the hard work that we have put into ensuring that the VELUX 5 Oceans reached the news and features pages of the worlds press'.
