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!

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 […]

We P3rsonalised It – Introducing the Very British MG3

We’ve had to keep this under wraps for a while but now it’s aired in the ad breaks of our favourite soaps (*cough) we can now reveal the magic behind the new MG3 ad. That little car spinning amongst the streets to a backing track by Elephant 12 is the result of a little photography, […]

A Honeycomb Twist for the Twizy from Renault

A Honeycomb Twist for the Twizy from Renault

Now I consider myself to be an automotive photographer. I take pictures of cars, nippy ones, sporty ones, classic ones, and of course motorbikes that catch my eye. Imagine my quandary then, when presented with this supercool bubble that even kids can drive! There’s no denying it’s a brilliant toy and if I was a […]

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 […]

It Must Be Love – Despite the Delhi Belly I Couldn’t Resist Taking Pics!

It Must Be Love – Despite the Delhi Belly I Couldn’t Resist Taking Pics!

One of the most unusual shoots I have worked on was when I traveled to India to shoot a Ford Press Ad. Initially it seemed like many other shoots, but this trip turned into a time I’ll never forget. The concept was creative genius, thanks to the team at Young and Rubicam London, particularly Sam […]

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 […]

Lamborghini Aventador gunning the hill at Shelsley Walsh

A little automotive CGI project from end of last year featured on AIR-CGI. People like fast cars! The following video demonstrates what it takes to combine a fast CG car – in this case a Lamborghini Aventador – together with a photographic backplate and HDR to create a striking image. The backplate was taken at […]
