I recently produced and shot a series of images for Genesis Europe of the all new GV70 electric, these images were shot in both Sheffield and the Peak District in the UK combining artistic angles and standard approach mixed in with some lifestyle to create a set of 15 images. A few of my favourites can be seen below:
Bentley Motors Set me a challenge of shooting some mountain pass images in the UK with their new Flying Spur, the photo’s are yet to be released however whilst waiting for the sun go down it seemed rude not to make the most of a beautiful evening and car, here’s a selection of additional images for Bentley’s social media.
I recently returned to one of my favourite tracks in the UK, Anglesey Race Circuit in North Wales. Not only is it a brilliant little track but with epic mountain and sea views, it makes the perfect backdrop for any automotive photographer. Over the 2 day shoot, we shot a selection of cars from the Iconic Ferrari F40 to Audi Rs4 and even your average family SUV. The Automotive images I captured during the shoot will be used as part of a social campaign to spread awareness of Wejo’s connectivity and data analysis in many modern-day cars. Below is a selection of my favourite few images from the shoot.
Just Hype Clothing came up with a last min wild idea for an April fools campaign, it was all a bit of a secret until the day I turned up to shoot, was had a lot of fun on track filming and shooting with my good friend Oli Webb in a Lamborghini SVJ and a Robinson r44 helicopter. Only a few hours from Sheffield where I’m based we shot at an old airfield now converted into a private track. As an Automotive photographer my favourite shots are those with minimal background and this location made for just that. shooting both rolling and static shots below is a selection of my favourites.
Bentley invited me along to the Supercar driver secret meet to capture their Continental GT3 car and the team doing demonstration laps around Silverstone. Here’s a selection of images from around the track and pit area which were then used on Bentley Newsroom social channels.
I reached out to AnZa about shooting some new product photography of there beautifully designed espresso machines. Finding locations that fit their mood board and creative direction was challenging in Sheffield however with a couple of recce’s I found a few places that worked perfectly. Heres the images I shot for them.
I recently had the opportunity to shoot for Porsche GB in the UK. Porsche often struggle with automotive photos shot in Germany / Europe with left hand drive cars. We shot a series of photos in the Cotswolds of two Taycan’s for the GB brochure, website and social. We also shots some images of a Porsche 356 to show the heritage of where Porsche came from and the direction it’s heading with one of its more popular electric cars.
Heres a selection of images from the shoot soon to be published on the Porsche Website, Social and Print
Before lockdown, my good friend George Millner a fellow photographer, and filmmaker also based in Sheffield and I decided to head out to some local roads in the Peak District not far from where we both live and shoot a series of images with my 981s and his 981 GT4 Clubsport. the weather was far from ideal but made things interesting, to say the least. Here are the photos.
Bentley Motors challenged me and 2 other photographers to find the best Christmas lights in our local area in 24 hours in the new Bentayga V8. With the intention of shooting the car in front of the best displays it was more of a challenge than I expected around Sheffield and the Peak District. however we persevered and came out with a few cool shots.
I was recently contact by Taiwanese company Bitplay to shoot some images here in the UK, they required shots with the snow to showcase their new waterproof bag capabilities. I decided to shoot the collection of images in the Lake District as the snow in Sheffield / the Peak District was a little hit and miss with the tight deadline. Working along side my girlfriend / Model Georgina Wake we were able to capture some life style photography that the brand were really happy with, I look forward to seeing these images posted on both their social and website soon. Below is a selection of the 10 images we shot.
2020 wasn’t the best years for a lot of us but I’m one of the lucky ones that still managed to getaway. Fortunately, my job takes me to some amazing places and despite the fact that it dosnt’t always feel like work its all perfectly legal and within the regulations for photography productions to continue, after-all online marketing is more important for a business now than ever before.
One of the highlights of my 2020 was taking the new Aston Martin DBX for a 5-day road trip to the Scottish highlands. My Dad and I haven’t been away together since our previous Scotland trip 9 years ago where we enjoyed a mountain bike trip to Fortwilliam. When the opportunity to shoot some images for Aston Martin came about in October I asked my dad if he would be interested in coming along to assist me during the shoot for both driving, lighting and rigging and it turns out he makes a great assistant.
Showing my Dad around some of my favourite locations from Skye to Torridon and Glen Etive we hit up as many epic photo locations as possible within the short trip. I used a few contacts of mine to arrange some shoot locations and places we could stay which made the trip extra special and enhanced the images. One of the highlights of that week was spending 2 nights in Harlosh Black H located on the west side of Skye overlooking the Cullins.
We ate some great seafood enjoyed the finest Scottish roads in questionable driving conditions and of course soaked up the breathtaking views and weather.
Here’s a selection of my favourite images from the trip, thanks to Aston Martin for the opportunity and thanks to Dad for all your help and commitment washing the car in Sub 0 and endless help.
REC Watches asked me to shoot a series of images of their new Watch designed and inspired by the series III Landrover, the face of the watch is actually made from the door of an old series III. As soon as REC contacted me I had a vision of the car on the edge of a cliff just how I spent many days camping in Portugal. Due to travel restrictions I set out to find a photography location in the UK. After a long time looking I found the perfect cliff down in Cornwall, next my mission was the find a car. Instagram was my friend when I came across Sam’s profile Wendy the Series III, I got in touch he was down to rent out his car for the shoot and also was happy to be in my images which was a bonus. Heres a series of images I shot which got used both commercially and for social promotion via my Instagram.
Back in December 2020, I shot some images for Mazda very close to home in the Peak District / Sheffield.
It’s not often I get to work on bigger commercial photography shoots so close to home, only a few miles up the road from my office and on roads O’m very familiar with I shot a series of images of the CX-5 and the new CX-30 whilst DMS Media produced a video commercial.
Heres a few of my favourite shots.
A good friend of mine recently added one of my childhood dream cars to his collection, with snow on the forecast it would be rude not to take a few photos in it natural habitat.
Another early morning on the same road we previously shot his 993 RS but this time it looked dramatically diffrent with icy roads , snowy hills and freezing fog rolling in it made for the perfect conditions for some minimal automotive shots just how I like it. We shot a selection of Automotive photos in the Peak District close to Sheffield where I’m based, I’m very lucky to have these kind of locations so close to home.
Autumn is in full swing here in the Sheffield - UK. Some of the most beautiful colours of the year, this short section of woodland in one of Sheffield residential area offers a beautiful piece of tarmac tunneled under an archway of magnificent orange and yellow trees. Ecclesall woods can often be overlooked but every year it blows my mind, what a perfect way to enjoy a Sunday drive. Every time I drive my 981s I love it a little more, hearing the flat 6 scream as you look back in the mirror at the autumn leaves flying around behind you is nothing short of a dream come true. It would be rude not to capture the racing yellow camouflaged with these colours so out came the camera for a few shots, after-all I am an automotive photographer.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Swiss watch manufacture Creux Automatiq over the last year and I’m excited to be working on some new content of their Ghost V3 model, shot in the studio hear in Sheffield UK its nice to be working on some product photography again. More images coming soon.
Lamborghini was kind enough to invite my friend Gee Milner and I to Sardinia to photograph and drive their current fleet of cars. As the UK based Automotive photographer the idea of escaping to a warmer climate to have freedom of shooting and driving some of the most iconic cars in the world as exciting, to say the least.
Upon arrival, we were greeted with temperatures in the high 30’s and the keys to a stunning Yellow Huracan EVO a very warm Italian welcome we got straight too it. A sunset drive along the coast soon made us realise that the suggested photo locations would be an issue with the busy roads and enthusiastic locals stopping to take selfies, shooting photos was going to be a challenge. Little did we complain, listening to that N\A V10 roar we begin to get creative with a couple of sunset shots before stopping at a local pizzeria and a little street food before cruising back to the hotel.
Over a beer that evening we began to do our own research on where best to photograph these engineering masterpieces. Where would they be more at home than a twisty mountain road covered in the finest Sardinian tarmac? Ignoring the advice from Lamborghini PR team we embarked on an early morning sunrise shoot the opposite direction, the interior of Sardinia, which soon opened up to be the best decision by far. Perfect roads no one around and the most golden light shooting photos was going to be a walk in the park with these views and conditions.
300+ Miles later a memory card full of shots I couldn’t wait to edit but unfortunately the trip had come to an end. An experience of a lifetime driving through the mountains with my best friend, a V10 and a V12 with some amazing automotive photos to add to the portfolio, some of the finest Italian cooking, lots of suns and a few top gear style moments lost in small towns, it’s not a trip I’m going to forget any time soon.
Just a few of my favourite shots below. Thanks for the opportunity, Lamborghini.
Recently Seasons Tribe invited me down to Devon to meet the team. Seasons Tribe is a creative marketing agency. that were keen to get me on board as a photographer and digital talent, the brands they represent fit well with my photography and I’m stoked to be part of the team. I really enjoyed exploring Devon and the south of the UK, in general, it was also really nice to meet the team and shoot with some other photographers and models.
It was an action-packed week with ATV Tour, boat trip, Jetski, off-road defender adventures and much more which of course made for a few cool photos. below is a very select few of my favourite adventure, automotive, asto and lifestyle photos from the trip.
I recently worked alongside Automotive brand Bentley Motors once again to capture some new photography content for their Bentley Newsroom social channel. The 2-day shoot took place in North Wales home to some of the best driving roads in the UK. I may be slightly biased as I’m very fond of Snowdonia but it’s only of my favourite Locations to shoot automotive photography. Home to both amazing tarmac and beaches accessible for cars the verity of landscapes and weather makes for a really interesting set of images in such a short time frame.
