Gadget Geeks Collide for Coffee and Conversation – with Jon Bentley
I always look forward to the Focus on Imaging event, even if my accountant goes weak at the knees. He knows I’ll return with a new wish list of must have advanced, but pricey, photographic equipment. This year, however, I already had my eye on the prize, as I made a beeline to the IQ2, […]

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 […]

Piers Dowell, Pink Floyd and the art of the motorsport helmet
All regular readers of this blog will know that first and foremost I’m an automotive photographer. That’s cars, trucks, motorbikes, in fact anything that has wheels and moves. So it should be no surprise then that I tend to socialise with like-minded image producers and artists who add an automotive colour to their work. Piers […]

The Renault Sandero Stepway – to Russia with gloves
Readers of these pages know by now that my philosophy is to shoot anything that moves – and most things that don’t. Have camera will travel is the motto of all good photographers. Surely! Nevertheless, the harsh Russian winter with its -30 degrees C temperature is probably one of those locations I tend to avoid […]

How to park a Nissan Qashqai amid the glass towers of Canary Wharf
Parking in London – what a nightmare! With the stress of it I often muse how I’d like to demolish the cityscape around me and park my car where I like and however I like. If only… So that’s how I felt recently when driving at a snail’s pace around Canary Wharf, where I planned […]

Mark Walker and the 200HP V8 Darracq at Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb
With the New Year comes another season of historic racing events. I’ve mentioned Barrie “Whizzo” Williams and Shelsley Walsh in past blogs (even featuring Whizzo gunning up the hill on video), so this week I want to focus on another wonderful old racing car I shot last summer – the incredible 200HP V8 Darracq. I […]

Tolkien country – from the Shire to Mount Doom
I’ve always loved the landscapes conjured up by Tolkien in the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. Not just the undulating,green merriness of Bilbo’s Shire, but also the bleak nastiness of Mordor and Mount Doom. Tolkien’s imagined Shire was Worcestershire (his mother came from Evesham), a green, fertile country of valleys and hills not far […]

Instagram, Flickr, Camera+ and 6 other photo apps for the snap-and-go generation
As faux pas go, Instagram’s recent insistence that it could sell users’ photos to advertisers is up there with asking a large unpregnant woman when her baby’s due. BIG MISTAKE! Instagram backtracked about picture usage afterwards, but the damage was done. I read at the weekend that it has now lost half its daily users […]

The Chevrolet Aveo; small is the new big
If you happened to glance at any of the New Year newspapers, I’m sure you’d be struck by almost universal apocalyptic forecasts for the year ahead; triple-dip recessions, global political upheaval, environmental collapse… dear oh dear. So 2013 is the year to think small. Small is the new big, if you like. To celebrate this […]

The Grand Prix Lotus 18/21, Andrew Tart and the art of the engineer
It’s nearing Christmas so I thought I’d start this week’s blog on a festive note: a visit to Santa’s grotto, or something equivalent. But while Santa’s workshop in Lapland has umpteen elves in pointy hats fussing over intricately crafted toy racing cars and wooden train sets, the one I visited has a team of engineering […]
