Pure Electric Performance – the Detroit Electric SP:01

You may remember a few months ago I had a shoot in the city creating backplates & HDRs for a top secret car, yet to be released. To jog your memory, we worked into the night on cranes, while a cute kid played with the cube on the cobbled street? Now I can finally unveil it, as the […]

The Renault Sandero Stepway – to Russia with gloves

Readers of these pages know by now that my philosophy is to shoot anything that moves – and most things that don’t. Have camera will travel is the motto of all good photographers. Surely!

How to park a Nissan Qashqai amid the glass towers of Canary Wharf

Parking in London – what a nightmare! With the stress of it I often muse how I’d like to demolish the cityscape around me and park my car where I like and however I like. If only… So that’s how I felt recently when driving at a snail’s pace around Canary Wharf, where I planned […]
