About Neill
Neill Watson is a professional photographer and writer. His childhood love of cars, driving, aviation and flying has never abated. This was added to in his college years by his draughtsman teacher who instilled an interest in architecture and building design. If you love the sound of the Cosworth V8 as much as the V12 Merlin, the smell of Jet A1 as much as Castrol R and admire the late Ray Hanna as much as Sir Stirling, you’ll find you’re both on the same pageAuthor Archive | Neill

Car Photography eBooks – The Top Ten Tips
Whenever I’m on location on a photo shoot, I’m conscious of time. Time ticking by as car owners, assistants and other members of the party have to stand and wait while I do my thing with the camera. For me, I hate the feeling that people are waiting around, getting bored, cold, hungry, especially at [...]
