Seasonal Imagery

 

We know it's only August, and that we're ahead of even the supermarkets and department stores in mentioning this. But we're going to mention it anyway. The early bird and all that..

Christmas. The holidays. The winter vacation.

Whichever way you say it and whether or not you celebrate it, the Bridgeman Studio team know that Christmas and The Holidays are the hottest tickets for the chilliest of events. Every single year, starting at the height of summer, our Account Managers are asked by our clients for exciting new contemporary imagery which depicts Christmas.

We are looking for illustration, painting, drawing and photography for this season.
