Barrie “Whizzo” Williams and the Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb
Much of my life has been focussed around shooting anything that has four wheels and drinks gallons of the black stuff. So as an enthusiastic petrol head I never ignore opportunities to shoot good looking cars – especially when they’re the vintage sports variety racing on my doorstep. Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb – the oldest […]

Volvo – around the world in 30 days
The Volvo C30 shoot was a great experience – a lot of fun and a lot of hard work. It was also typical of how shoots have evolved since photography went digital. These days you often go to locations just to shoot a backplate, with the object – or vehicle in this case – added […]

Bentley, Breitling and the cloak and dagger world of the Continental GT
Bentley was one of those dream jobs that come round every so often. You do the shoot, the client likes it; you do another, their client likes it. The shoot leads to other jobs and the spin off can last several years. As I say, a dream job. With the launch of the Contintental GT […]

The wheresyourbike charity challenge – fat bottomed men with boobs on bicycles
Photography is my work and my hobby and both take up most of my waking hours. Nevertheless, I do have other interests outside of pictures – or more accurately, I have another hobby that I photograph. I cycle. To build up my quads – to help treat an old knee injury – I wake up […]

Not a lot happens in Wendover. I had been shooting a Ford Fusion campaign in LA and after wrapping that shoot I […]

Ferrari: a hobbyist’s vision
The Ferrari job is pure test piece, pure opportunist. Hobbyist. I did it in earlier in the year to coincide with the start of the Formula 1 season. It was an idea I’d had for a while: play around with a Ferrari on a backplate, shot on another job. Learn from it. Use it. Maybe […]

Isuzu D-MAX: Rough tough toys for rough tough boys
The Isuzu shoot is one of my recent jobs. A month or so ago in early summer. The brief was tough trucks for tough times. Driven by tough guys who chew gum and get their hands dirty. So I wanted to capture a scene that was mean, moody and brittle. The appalling rain and flooding […]

Mitsubishi: Terminator meets Brad the Builder
I like having fun with landscapes; with the natural world you can pull it, merge it and reshape it. Make it hyper-real and more beautiful or more sombre than it actually is. With idealised, fabricated landscapes you can throw in mundane objects and create your own tough, forbidding images. Very scifi. Fun to play with. […]

Mars Ice Cream – a little bit tasty
I think of myself as a photographer, not a writer – and I’m certainly not an active blogger. So I’ve had to ponder long and hard about my new role as a photographer/blogger. But I reckoned that with over 20 years of shoots – mainly automotive – under my belt, I wanted to pull some […]
