Hi Ho Savannah Lining – BTS on a CGI shoot

Hi Ho Savannah Lining – BTS on a CGI shoot

If you’ve ever thought that photography for CGI is done with a single shot my latest ‘adventure’ will show you otherwise. This week I’ve been shooting the backgrounds and HDRs for a top secret car that is not even off the production line yet! It may seem a little premature but those of you who […]

Real Men Need Reliable Tools that Don’t Let Them Down

You’ll remember a couple of months back I made a visit to the North Sea, a visit that was not to be taken lightly. (See here). I trained intensively to be allowed into this harsh environment where waves would crash with a double decker force and the wind chill would freeze the sweat on your […]

From Fame to Forsaken, the Car that Gets Everywhere

From Fame to Forsaken, the Car that Gets Everywhere

I’ve been working with Mitsubishi very recently, this time shooting the Mirage. You’ll see from the pics that it’s a chirpy looking car that comes in a rainbow of colours. The brief was to shoot it in action in the city to showcase how nippy it can be. The ideal car from getting from A […]

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 […]

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

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 […]

Lamborghini Aventador gunning the hill at Shelsley Walsh

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 […]

The Long and the Short of Automotive Rig Photography

The Long and the Short of Automotive Rig Photography

With the backdrop of the Teme Valley behind me, I paired with Car Camera Rig’s Justin to show how I produce the images you see advertising the fastest cars. We couldn’t have chosen a better location we filmed at Shelsey Walsh Hill Climb, the oldest active motorsport event in the entire world. Although most rigs […]

Size Doesn’t Matter

Size Doesn’t Matter

Since the nineties I’ve been championing the rig as it’s been the perfect accessory for creating the motion shots I want. As you probably know it takes away all human error by steadying the camera, moving ever so slowly, so the full glory of the car is captured, while the scenery blurs the way it […]

Nissan Qashqai – discovering the 360 Around View Monitor

Nissan Qashqai – discovering the 360 Around View Monitor

Canary Wharf is always considered the business hub of London and it’s an area we’re all proud of. With the sparkling glass reflecting the ultra-clean streets and the best of modern architecture grouped together it feels like every city should. Without traffic congestion or crowding it’s difficult to imagine that in those mirrored towers millions […]
