Coming to a billboard near you! Just released is our new Pan-European press campaign for Ford of Europe featuring the ST-Line S-Max, so look out for it in the press & outdoor.

Is it a Mirage?

Is it a Mirage?

‘It’s Easy to See the Attraction’ is the latest press campaign for the new Mirage from Mitsubishi. We shot this a few weeks back in a city centre location, as evening fell & the lights came on to give that fun ‘buzzing round the city’ feel to the car. The brief was to find a smart looking […]

If a Classic Car Could Take a Selfie – It Would Look Like…

For a few weeks now I’ve been putting the Nokia Lumia 1020 through its paces. I’ve taken some great shots (it’s too late in the year for modesty) of copters, cars and landscapes. In a couple of weeks it’ll be coming on the North Sea with me as I choose it as my portable camera […]

The Long and the Short of Automotive Rig Photography

With the backdrop of the Teme Valley behind me, I paired with Car Camera Rig’s Justin to show how I produce the images you see advertising the fastest cars.
