The fine chaps at Marangoni have been on a press tour with their stunning Range Rover Evoque HFI-R of late and I was able to get some time with it (and Bianca & Cassie) as it stopped off at Autosport International. Here’s their finished video, with the Autosport chapter, featuring some of my images, beggining at around 2 minutes 30 seconds. I’m in there in person too – bonus points if you can spot me Kudos to Chris...

If you’ve spent any time on my blog, you’ll know I like shooting on location. I love all the choices I get when it comes to balancing strobes with the available light – juggling all the variables is so much more fun than shooting in a studio where you have complete control over the lighting. Shooting at night takes that to the extreme. Capturing what little ambient there is can be tricky when your flashes want to nuke...

Sunset is my favourite time to shoot, not just because of the “magic hour” light you get, but because it’s the time adding flash to an image can change it the most. You can take a photo of your subject under what looks to the naked eye to be pretty dull conditions and then flip the camera around and show them something on the rear screen that they can’t believe hasn’t spent hours in Photoshop.

Ultimate Street Car is one of the biggest weekenders on the modified car show scene and title sponsor, Marangoni Tyres had the busiest stand at the show. And on their stand they had Jen and Sarah who you may have seen on the blog before along with Torrs. I’d spoken with Sarah in the week leading up to the show and arranged to make a few pictures, but I have learnt that you can’t plan too much at shows like this. It’s a...

Happy Friday! Have a few links to get you through Friday afternoon: Photos that you can focus after taking them with the Lytro Light Field Camera Scott Bourne has published a free eBook called ‘Vision‘ – It’s no ‘Within The Frame‘ but there are some good tips and ideas to be had. You know I like to light things but nothing on this scale yet: Air-to-air flash photography! Coming soon: Strobist Bootcamp...

I’ve known Emma for a few years and while we’ve done a few things at car shows, we have never shot together properly. Last weekend we put that right. Not only did Emma make the trek up from the Portsmouth but I was lucky enough to have my long suffering assistant/producer/gopher/other-half Helen on hand to help as well as good friend and fellow photographer Darren “Skids” Skidmore to shoot some behind the scenes...

Ash Manton’s Type R Civic has been part of the UK modified car scene for several seasons and keeps coming back with a fresh look each year. It’s current stripped out, carbon clad, airbrushed look has just won it the cover feature in Max Power. As it’s had the Max photo shoot treatment, I wanted to try something different. Enter Georgia Graham, Ash’s girlfriend, showing that hell really does hath no fury like a woman...
