MARS – COMING SOON
National Geographic Channel shoots into space as the series MARS premieres internationally on November 13th.
Set in 2033 the series follows Earth’s first crewed mission to Mars.
In the miniseries, from Oscar winning Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, upon landing, the crew will immediately begin to secure a limited base camp and with the first human settlement established, the crew must sustain itself until future landings in 2035 and 2037. The carefully selected international crew of six are uniquely suited to take on this monumental step for humans, and are supported by the best team on the ground.
Fast Management’s latest artist, Jihae, plays Hana Seung a mission pilot and software engineer. Hana is a NASA-trained pilot. Hana and her twin sister, Joon, have dreamed of traveling into space since childhood, and Hana’s position as second in command on the mission to Mars is the result of a focused career.
INTRODUCING JONATHAN GLYNN-SMITH
We are delighted to welcome Jonathan Glynn-Smith, our latest artist, to Fast Management.
Jonathan Glynn-Smith’s photography has spearheaded advertising campaigns, books and exhibitions for some of the worlds leading blue chip clients. His evocative and timeless images have inspired magazine editors, luxury brands and his viewers for nearly two decades.
Uninhibited, but with a unique clarity of vision, he brings a wealth of personal experience and reference to his pictures.
“My lens is a two way tool – the superficial image on one side and my own instinctive need for authenticity on the other”.
Behind the sheer beauty of his images, there is a cerebral layer of personal experience which informs all he does. As one onlooker commented after seeing his Paris “Winds and Sails” exhibition for Louis Vuitton – “You know that this man has sailed the worlds toughest seas – no one else could produce pictures of this calibre.”
From Vogue covers to Bentley adverts – it’s more than just the photograph.
Jonathan Glynn-Smith infuses his work with his own lust for life.
