We have an obsession with the weather in the UK. After the usual formalities, it’s the first thing British conversation moves onto. And this last twelve months or so, we’ve had a lot to talk about, much of it not good. If you’re a location car photographer, it’s a big problem as the logistics and [...]

One Man’s Porsche
I thought you might like to hear about about this interesting Porsche 964 Carrera 2 I’ve just photographed and written about for Total 911 magazine. You can read the full feature in the latest issue, so I won’t go into many details on the car’s story but if you buy a copy, I hope you’ll [...]
Englands Green and Pleasant Land
Using photography from the air, you reveal things about the makeup of the land that you cannot see from the ground. This is the first of a series of aerial images showing ‘targets of opportunity’ or pictures that drop into place as we’re flying to the assignment. This golf course in Yorkshire was shot almost [...]
New Picture Library Images – Porsche 930 Turbo Race Car
I wrote back in February about the Porsche 911 Type 930 Turbo that I tracked down and created a feature on. The car was very well known in the 1980′s but them seemed to vanish. The story covers the cars colourful life from it’s beginnings to the present owner today.
Industrial Aerial Photography
In 2008, the this large pharmaceutical plant at Seal Sands, in the North East of England was declared for sale. As part of the sales process, we were commissioned by the owners to create a series of aerial images to complement ground based photography. The advertising brochure design called for a combination of oblique images, [...]
Scandinavian Hotel / Lodge
An interesting commission in February from my friends at Ice Driver in Sweden was this restored executive hotel in the wild countryside on the border of Norway and Sweden. Bruket is situated in the small hamlet of Mitandersors. Purchased by 2003 World Rally Champion Petter Solberg, the building was restored and upgraded with modern facilities, [...]
ALMS Porsche GT3RSR – One To Watch For
It’s hard to believe that just a few months ago, we were sitting in some sunshine photographing this car. It’s a genuine ALMS series car from 2002, finding refuge in the UK as a track day car and potential fun investment by it’s owner. Watch out for it on track days in the UK this [...]
Feature – Porsche GT3RS vs Ferrari 458 Italia
Two cars that have been written about so many times within the last twelve months that you must wonder what else can be said about them. As I write this, I’m not on the Number One tier of motoring writers who are given the very first opportunity to drive the latest releases before everyone else. [...]
Feature – Rare Porsche 993RS Development Car
Everyone who’s into Porsche loves the final, iconic, aircooled 993. Values are rising ever upwards and this one is rising more quickly than others. Feature about the original Porsche 993RS factory development car that was mysteriously sold to the UK, complete with all the original factory road books documenting it’s early life “If you’re one [...]
Porsche 911 GT3RS vs Ferrari 458 Italia – Feature

Porsche 993RS Development Car Feature
Feature about the original Porsche 993RS factory development car that was mysteriously sold to the UK, complete with all the original factory road books documenting it’s early life “If you’re one of the very lucky few people in the world who has a 993RS parked in the garage, the chances are that this is the [...]
Modern Classics
In late June, I spent a full day photographing some motoring icons up on the North Yorkshire Moors for client Classic Driving Experience. Their fleet of cars for rental are probably best described as ‘modern classics’ such as the Audi Quattro, a 1980′s icon made famous once again in the UK by Gene Hunt. Their [...]
The Pain & Pleasure of Shooting Porsches
Like most of my work, there’s always an embargo for publication, so I’m often writing about things several months after the shoot. This Total 911 shoot is one such, it’s just been published in the Jan 2010 issue and you can buy a copy here. I owned a 930 Turbo a few years ago, but [...]
