Dean Freeman - The Movement for Movement

Rushes are proud to present "The Movement for Movement", a spectacular exhibition of photographs taken from Dean Freeman's project by the same name, graded by Rushes Senior Colourist Denny Cooper.

About the man

Freeman is an internationally exhibited Photographer and Director who counts some of the world’s biggest stars as his subjects. He has drawn much acclaim for his portfolio of work that spans both advertising (worldwide campaigns for the likes of Levis, Coca Cola and American Express) as well as his iconic portraits of the world’s most famous celebrities.

His Work

The photographs on display are taken from Freeman’s project ‘The Movement for Movement’ Directed by Dean Freeman with Rhys Ifans. He draws us into the world of his subjects, revealing it in all its weird and wonderful glory, celebrating human life in all its diversity, its frailty and grit, its starkness and splendour.

The Project

Freeman headed to the rich and vibrant tapestry that is Havana, Cuba to capture the much untouched world of his subjects. With only 10% of the Cuban population connected to the online world, Freeman seeks to document and remind us of the splendour of life and movement.

Dean Freeman "Life doesn't happen online. It happens outside, in the streets. Under the sky. Amongst other bodies."

The Look

Denny Cooper ‘’I have worked closely with Dean for a number of years on various spots, from Bradley Cooper s Haagen-Dazs to Daks, many bespoke fashion and short films. I knew that the Cuba films Dean directed and shot by Joshua C Fry would be superb and something I wanted to be involved in. In the grade, we pushed the rich colours and enhanced the natural light, feel and atmosphere that is so unique to this beautiful place and passionate people that make Cuba, Cuba. Creating just the right amount of contrast without losing any of the detail in the textures within the iconic buildings was key. Hopefully we achieved this and created stunning and memorable images.”
