I’ve been wanting to shoot for JLR for some time now, and it seems they have also been wanting to work me for a while also. I was very excited when they reached out to work together on a 2 day social content shoot in Manchester with a range of their cars. It was great to be involved in sourcing locations for the shots. Below is a few of my favourite lifestyle and automotive photos from the shoot.
New Automotive Photography for Bentley Motors
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.
Porsche 981 Spyder
Spring has arrived which means it’s time to get the roof down and enjoy that 3.8L flat 6. My good friend George Milner made another excellent purchase which made the perfect car to try some new soft-wear and recce a potential location for an upcoming project. once again the Peak District delivers another amazing driving road so close to Sheffield where we are both based. Here’s a selection of my favourite automotive shots from the evening.
Bentley GT3 Car at SCD Meet
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.
Shelby GT500 - Oliver James Webb Peak District
My good-friend Oli Webb and I decided to team up on a few social media projects, With the sun shining in Manchester, Sheffield and the Peak District it seemed to be a great time to get the GT500 out of the garage to use for the photo series.
Heres’s a few of the shots we took for clothing brand Timbuktu global and REC Watches.
Audi E-Tron
Another set of images shot for Audi UK of the new Audi E-tron, I was lucky to have some amazing conditions in the Peak District / Sheffield where I’m based. Snow makes for a great reflector for automotive photography.
Here are a few of my favourite images from the set.
Mazda
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.
Landrover Discovery North Wales
I had the pleasure of shooting a little personal project with my friends new Discovery. What location better than Newborough forest in North Wales, where the forest meets the beach on Anglesey island.
My good friend Rachel was kind enough to get involved to create my vision of high fashion meets moody Welsh landscapes and the perfect British machine. Heres a small selection of my favourite images from this Automotive shoot.
Lamborghini Huracan EVO Sardinia
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.
Bentley Shoot North Wales
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.
