Back on the Road, Further North I Go

Back on the Road, Further North I Go

I must have got a taste for the wet and the cold on the North Sea as no sooner had my sea legs got used to dry land, was I off again a few days before Christmas. This time I decided to treat myself, by staying firmly on the ground. It didn’t stop me getting […]

It’s Wet Up North (and cold, and freezing and life threatening!)

It’s Wet Up North (and cold, and freezing and life threatening!)

You’ll remember quite some months ago I had a few days on a BOSIET course where I was thrown into a range of real life situations, each one involving water. That course was to prepare me for a spot of photography on the high seas, an event that took place in December, and probably the […]

Lights, Camera, Time-lapse – Hello Yellow MG3

Lights, Camera, Time-lapse – Hello Yellow MG3

I’ve just finished a pretty intensive gig with an MG with multiple personalities. Just to give you a scope of the project from design data to end imagery: – Shoot 5 backplates and light domes then composite CGI cars into them. – Configurator combinations comprising: 10 colours, 10 graphic packs, 4 trim levels, 3 angles, […]

The Environmental Impact of Snow in this Summer Weather

The Environmental Impact of Snow in this Summer Weather

I’ve always had a bit of a love hate relationship with snow. Just like every other driver and photographer does. It can produce some great images and give an extra challenge to a drive but it can also be a pain in the neck for everyday activity. Winter sports are obviously on my Love list […]

Size Doesn’t Matter

Size Doesn’t Matter

Since the nineties I’ve been championing the rig as it’s been the perfect accessory for creating the motion shots I want. As you probably know it takes away all human error by steadying the camera, moving ever so slowly, so the full glory of the car is captured, while the scenery blurs the way it […]

Giving Cars Some Stick Since the Nineties

Giving Cars Some Stick Since the Nineties

Since the nineties I’ve had one piece of kit that has helped me capture exactly what I need for clients such as Bentley, Peugeot and Subaru. To the passer by this kit looks like an extendable thick stick, something fire-fighters might use to rescue a cat from a tree, but to me, it’s a trusty […]

Capturing a demented Kawasaki Mean Streak with Profoto Flash

Capturing a demented Kawasaki Mean Streak with Profoto Flash

This week I thought I’d return to the spray paint work of Piers Dowell by shooting one of his finest creations – a Kawasaki 1500 Mean Streak. And I wanted to do this using one of my favourite flash lighting tools – the Profoto strip light. Dennis Hopper on a chopper As with Piers’s spray […]

Ferrari: a hobbyist’s vision

Ferrari: a hobbyist’s vision

The Ferrari job is pure test piece, pure opportunist. Hobbyist. I did it in earlier in the year to coincide with the start of the Formula 1 season. It was an idea I’d had for a while: play around with a Ferrari on a backplate, shot on another job. Learn from it. Use it. Maybe […]

Mitsubishi: Terminator meets Brad the Builder

Mitsubishi: Terminator meets Brad the Builder

I like having fun with landscapes; with the natural world you can pull it, merge it and reshape it. Make it hyper-real and more beautiful or more sombre than it actually is. With idealised, fabricated landscapes you can throw in mundane objects and create your own tough, forbidding images. Very scifi. Fun to play with. […]

Mars Ice Cream – a little bit tasty

Mars Ice Cream – a little bit tasty

I think of myself as a photographer, not a writer – and I’m certainly not an active blogger. So I’ve had to ponder long and hard about my new role as a photographer/blogger. But I reckoned that with over 20 years of shoots – mainly automotive – under my belt, I wanted to pull some […]
