In Photography, you are welcomed to a wide range of a variety of tools to somehow increase your workflow or simply change the game. We’ve seen things from aerial to drones but how about street photography using a car? Volvo Cars has teamed up with Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer and artist Barbara Davidson for a World’s First Photo Exhibition using the on-board safety cameras of the new Volvo XC60 to create a special collection of photographs. Connecting art and safety for people to see the benefits of technology such as cameras and on-board sensors in cars. The photographs were first exhibited at Canvas Studios gallery in London\u2019s Shoreditch this week and the exhibition will travel to other countries during 2017.<\/p>\n

Copenhagen, Denmark. I had an amazing experience collaborating with Volvo Cars to create the worlds first ever photo exhibition using the #XC60’s car safety camera. The project played out like a film production and all scenes were created for this commercial endeavor. Was really nice to work on a conceptual body of work which is vastly different from my life as a photojournalist thanks to all the crew for this amazing experience!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Over 1.2 million people die each year in road accidents around the globe. Volvo\u2019s approach to road safety is focused on real-life traffic situations which the company has studied in detail since 1970 through its Traffic Accident Research Team. With this matchless set of real-world data Volvo\u2019s safety engineers have set about systematically working to mitigate or eliminate potential life-threatening accidents.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe take a realistic and practical approach to safety at Volvo Cars. Our vision is to reach a point in time where no one should be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo car. We call it Vision 2020,\u201d said Malin Ekholm, Vice President of Volvo Cars Safety Centre.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
