Coldhouse Collective for Best Made

Best Made autumn/winter 2021 catalogue and accompanying films captured June 2021

“There are fixers and then there are fixers. Our shoot on Shetland was complicated, short notice and high pressure. Claire went above and beyond before we even arrived on the island, and we felt in safe hands within minutes of meeting her. She made our time on Shetland infinitely easier, and contributed an unquantifiable amount to the quality of the end result. Just as importantly, Claire made our shoot a hugely enjoyable and genuinely memorable experience. We couldn’t have done it without her, and wouldn’t have wanted to.”

Matt Pycroft, Founder and Creative Director, Coldhouse Collective

“Claire supported Coldhouse Collective on a two-week brand photography and film shoot in Shetland. The remit was extensive and complex: Claire coordinated talent, locations, accommodation, sustenance, and schedules across pre-production and production, liaising with our head of production and our producers on the ground. Claire's extensive and rich knowledge of the Shetland community and culture allowed for the smooth running of the entire production, and her calm and efficient way of working was impressive and reassuring considering the fluid and ever-changing nature of the shoot. Claire was an invaluable member of the team. Her many years' experience in producing really showed and I am certain that without her input we would have struggled to achieve our ambitious aims. We and our client are over the moon with the results! Thank you, Claire, you were so much fun to work with, and thank you for the homegrown rhubarb, it made for a delicious crumble!”
