Ground Attack Jet

by Neill

Sadly no longer in service, the Jaguar has been around a long time. This was shot on the flight line in it’s final year of service, getting ready for an airshow appearance for one last season. The pilot was superb at mugging the crowd from behind. Still, ground attack was their speciality…

Dead Metal

by Neill

The whole saga of ship dismantling on Hartlepool has been much discussed in the local and national news, with the project being delayed. These old US Navy ships are to be scrapped eventually, but meanwhile they’re a local landmark from both the ground and the air. This aerial photograph of the ships shows the fleet [...]

Snow Mobiles

by Neill

If you think this looked like a cold photo shoot, you were right. In northern Sweden on a snow mobile safari, I suddenly had the idea of replicating a car tracking shot, but on a snow mobile. This ended up with me hanging off the back of another snow mobile at around 70 kph, no [...]

The photographs can be supplied as a large format print of any size ready for framing and make a lovely gift. The example case study [...]

There’s more and more CGI out there every day. The one thing about car photography CGI is that car photographers are needed to shoot the scenes – but without the car…. If you need a landscape or similar background for CGI automotive rendering or other use, contact me for some ideas on locations that will [...]

The North Sea

by Neill

Now there’s a rare sight in the North Sea in January – flat calm and a lovely sunset. DFDS Cargo ship en route to Gothenburg.

Staithes, North Yorkshire

Thumbnail image for Staithes, North Yorkshire

A fishing village famous for it’s vertigo – inducing cliff edge view, this shot is taken down by the river inlet. The dramatic tidal range means that the tiny stream you see can support a fishing boat a few hours later. This shot was used by a variety of travel guides and continues to sell [...]

The Rock Star II

by Neill

How do you photograph a rock star at play in his Nissan Skyline drift car? I couldn’t help but think that the usual grip n grin with a crash helmet under the arm would be a bit stale…. So when Shane Lynch offered me a passenger ride, it seemed a shame to say no. I [...]
