Before CGI A photographer at heart, Nigel’s career started in London where he looked for the biggest photographers he could find doing location photography and tried to get work experience with them. “There were loads of people I tried to get work with at the time such as Alan Brooking, who did the iconic 1970s […]

My big Interview in Professional Photographer Magazine: True Lies
Here is my ‘Big Interview’ (their words, not mine) in Professional Photographer, November 2012 issue.

Chrysler 300C, Harrison Ford and ice rinks in the Mohave Desert
If you pop Harrison Ford’s movie Firewall into Google you’ll see a YouTube clip of the Chrysler 300C driven by the actor in the film’s video promo. Chrysler spent a staggering $10 million promoting the car (and movie) on TV and online and I was hired by their ad agency to do the stills for […]

In the clearing stands a Jaguar C-Type
Make yourself a coffee, sit back, relax. This week I’m deliberately over writing my blog because it’s about something very special – a C-Type Jaguar.

Night shots of the Peugeot diesel hybrid on the road outside Paris
Fritz Henderson, one time boss of General Motors, once opined that making petrol hybrid cars is expensive squared – but making diesel hybrids is expensive cubed.

The Nissan Townpod and why the Dernbach studio is ideal for injured photographers
John Lennon once wrote: “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans”. These prophetic lines came to haunt me a couple of years ago, just as I was planning a shoot for the Nissan Townpod prototype in Germany. And I blame it all on my wife’s turnips. It was a few […]

Hyundai Grandeur in Venice, Texas
In many ways the Hyundai Grandeur shoot was different from my other work because Hyundai wanted me to attach my name to the pictures and the video of their latest car. Usually I remain invisible from the product; a hired gun who shoots and moves on to the next job. Essentially they asked me to […]

On the trail of the Campbells of Verneukpan and Glencoe
I love shooting landscapes. They’re a challenge. Landscapes are fleeting; an enigma, instant. You need to catch the drama, the light and the mood in a moment because five minutes later everything changes and you’ve lost it. Landscapes can really test your character and ability.
