The production division and creatives at Artists & Legends have certainly had their adventurous experiences over the years, but none as exciting and challenging as Annie Leibovitz's latest shoot for Moncler. We would like to honour this brilliant photographer who not only continues to shoot exquisite images, but goes the distance for the ultimate shot. Having to hike across an icy world and threatening weather conditions, Annie handles the elements like the pro she is. We know how grueling production can be and we admire her professionalism.

Awareness Campaigns
We at Artists & Legends do not only work with hot models, rock stars and famous actors, we have an altruistic side that looks to produce meaningful work for good people and brands around the world.
Producing awareness campaigns is one of Debbie Bacher's, passions. Her most recent work has been for Siemens and Skype.
SIEMENS GLOBAL AWARENESS CAMPAIGN:
Siemen's Global Urban Generation Project - 2012. Johannesburg, Bombay and Istanbul.
1.9 billion children wake up every day in developing countries all over the world, these children are the future generations of cities. The Siemens - Urban Generation Project gives children in developing countries a voice by asking them what they would like to see in their city of the future. We ran a pilot of this project in three developing countries...where each of the cities we visited, Johannesburg, Mumbai and Istanbul all face many very different unique challenges which affect the every day life of the people who live there. Working with Siemens partner schools in each city, we spent time with children in each city and documented through photography and film what they wanted to see in their city of the future.
SKYPE- Teaching children about important issues around the world: South Africa 2014.
The Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB) gave students from six classrooms, including Egglescliffe Primary UK, the chance to meet penguins, learn of their plight and what they can do to help through Skype in the classroom.
We are looking to partner with agencies that work on awareness campaigns and conscientious advertising around the world.
