GQ Car Awards 2012

Back in Decemeber in the freezing cold Northamptonshire winter I spent the day at Silverstone photographing the GQ Car Awards 2012 article for the April issue. Its out now so go take a peak, here's "the making of" film.

GQ Car Awards Making of video

Johnny Marr Fender Jaguar Shoot.

As most of you who know me will know ( seeing as I've gone on about it relentlessly ), I had the pleasure of working with one of my childhood legends, the one and only Mr Johnny Marr. I spent an epic couple of days with johnny shooting, filming and editing and really enjoyed working on the project.

So here are 2 of the films I produced for Fender, some of the press pictures and a few behind the scenes pics as well. Hope you like them, I certainly enjoyed making them.

The first film was a little 3 minute teaser

And the second was a mini documentary about the design of his new signature guitar for Fender.

And then the press images.

And some behind the scenes fun.

2012 Here we Come

I think 18 months without adding to a blog is a bit lame, so I have to hold my hands up and plead guilty to wearing that badge. Its been a crazy 18 months were I have watched the photography industry change direction yet again, but it seems that most of us have adapted to the change and moved forward with the change.
2011 started quite slow but from May on it was nuts and I've crossed the globe from Barcelona to Shanghai to Barcelona, back to Shanghai , then wizzing through Detroit, up and down the UK and of course Paris and the projects that I was shooting have destracted me from my blog duties and I'm going to do my very best keep the blog updated through 2012.
I worked on some great projects last year for Nissan, a few for General motors in China and a monster project for GM in the states that is being delivered as I write and was great fun to work on, and then at the opposite end of the spectrum I did a few projects for Fender guitars culminating with a piece on Johnny Marr, which was an awesome treat working with one of my childhood heroes.
The year finished at Silverstone shooting and filming for the GQ supercar awards article to be published in April and that was great to work on also.
I plan to publish all the images and film shorts from 2011 over the next few weeks and that should hopefully bring the blog right up to date before the production craziness begins again. So a big happy new year to everyone , lets hope its busy and prosperous for us all.

What's up ( pt 3 - Isuzu Rodeo - Making of )

And finally for this series of blog updates, here's a little fun - a nice little film made by Rodger Stanier ( the art director on the shoot ).



ISUZU RODEO ( The Making of )

What's up ( pt 2 - Isuzu Rodeo )

No sooner had I put the cosworth job to bed, when PH-WT commissioned me to shoot some tasty location images for the launch of the newly facelifted Isuzu Rodeo.

Art directed by Rodger Stanier and Holly Pallister, it was a great shoot and we found ourselves in Wales around the Devils Bridge area for the first 2 shots, then down to Sharpness Docks on the River Severn for the next shot, then finally racing down to Exmoor to shoot a dam for the background of one of the shots.

I had a lot of fun on this shoot, with some great people, and I hope the shots do the brief justice.

What's up ( pt 1 - Subaru Cosworth )

I Know I know, it's been 10 weeks since my last blog, and I promised I would keep it up to date.

To make up for the silence, I have a 3 part blog going out today that brings me right back on track.


April was a quiet Month for me, but May picked up at pace and I was briefed on a nice Subaru Cosworth studio shoot, which I shot up at Junction 11 studios in Banbury ( nice studio ).

Here's the shots - hope you like the results.
