Want a Bit of the White Stuff?

Want a Bit of the White Stuff?

Anyone that’s complained that our winter hasn’t been white enough needs to go to the top of a hill in the middle of the country on a windy day. I’m not going to complain too much as I’ve seen what winter’s done to the homes of my friends in the South, and we’d probably prefer […]

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 […]

Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year!

It has been rather hectic the last few weeks with back-to-back shoots in the North Sea and Scotland, so no opportunity for writing the blog 🙁 ! I have worked with some great people in amazing locations, so will be posting more on those in January. In the meantime, here is one of a series […]

I’m Either Completely Mad or the World’s Coolest Dad

I’m Either Completely Mad or the World’s Coolest Dad

I don’t have to tell you that I love cars, I love speed and I love off-roading so it’s natural that my kids would share at least a bit of their Dad’s passion. To be fair, they couldn’t avoid it if they tried as motors are everywhere, from our drive, to reminders, to family days […]

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

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 […]

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, […]

Rolls-Royce, Shooting a Divine Being, a Celestial Phantom that’s a Millionaire’s Christine

Rolls-Royce, Shooting a Divine Being, a Celestial Phantom that’s a Millionaire’s Christine

Always when shooting cars I picture a personality. I see a replica of something human that allows me to visualise in a different way. For the first time ever, in secrecy this week, I shot a car that didn’t have any human qualities to display. This is because it was quite simply, out of this […]

The Frog’s Bollocks – Renault Sport Clio V6

The Frog’s Bollocks – Renault Sport Clio V6

I was asked by Renault Sport France to shoot images for a book on the Clio V6 being written by renowned French motoring writer and collector Gilles Bonnafous. We spent a great few days with the car, being let loose to ‘shoot at will’. At the time this came as a liberating change to the […]

The Long and the Short of Automotive Rig Photography

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. We couldn’t have chosen a better location we filmed at Shelsey Walsh Hill Climb, the oldest active motorsport event in the entire world. Although most rigs […]

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 […]
