Started to see the fruits of our TV Stills shoot with the CBBC Blue Peter presenters appearing across the web in 2017. We shot a whole array of images of Barney, Lindsey and Radzi for the long-running BBC series in 2016, covering everything from their seasonal activities through to Red Nose Day and Children in Need.
