From City to Country with a Lake In-between – Take Two

From City to Country with a Lake In-between – Take Two

Every car I shoot has its own USP. It’s either great as a nippy city car, excellent on long winding roads “Italian Job” style or capable of climbing the most hostile landscapes in the middle of the Moors. The car usually gives me an idea of where the shoot will take place. If it’s urban, […]

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 […]

Tis the Season for Self Made Scrumpy

Tis the Season for Self Made Scrumpy

It’s no secret that we live just far enough away from the city to enjoy a bit of rural living. Mostly this allows me to the space to play on quad bikes and motorbikes without upsetting anyone. Part of the land though is actually an orchard with great old apple trees that bear quite a […]

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 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 […]

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, […]
