Chris and Pete started their careers at Manchester’s premier news agency Cavendish Press which their late father, Brian Whittle, founded in 1979. They then moved to Los Angeles to work for Splash News & Pictures and Corbis Images before becoming successful freelancers.

Following in his father’s footsteps, Chris created Atlantic Images having returned to London from Los Angeles where he had lived and worked since 2004.

Atlantic Images now acts as the umbrella company for several online brands, with Fat Squirrel Studios becoming the full time focus for Chris.

The brothers run the agency from London and Vancouver, respectively, with a team based in Los Angeles.
