If I could’ve used an exhaust clip for the audio on this post I would’ve. Sweet sweet music 🤌🏼

Pretty epic to shoot a double cover feature for Issue 232 of , with this Torana being front and centre. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a build more meticulous in detail - you’ll have to read Todd’s write up to get the full scope of what’s gone into this thing. Think dry-sumped race motor, MoTec, AP Racing Pro 5000 series, full retrim… the list goes on. It’s all in the article.

It always makes me happy to see my work in print, so once again s/o .pix for trusting my abilities. You too can see for yourself at any good store or newsagent.

As always,

Lets play the “how many times can he rinse Oropi road” game… Kinda a meme at this point, but every time it keeps on hitting.

Good spot.

Very x listing vibes. Might be overselling myself there but that was the initial inspiration and I feel like with every shoot we’re getting a little closer to that level. Maybe some Leica M glass will help in that department.

In the meantime, however, we have a rainbow-mist/flare filter off Temu.

Can be a tad in-your-face, so we haven’t used it in every shot. That said, I reckon there’s a couple of instances where it really works. Come back later for the sunset shoot with Subido for more examples, but I think it’s got its place. Spices up the soulless Sigma, that’s for sure.

Nice Golf, btw

So it’s just over a week til cruise up to Leadfoot Ranch 👀

This has got to be up there in terms of peak NZ Summer x Car Culture action. Early start on a Sunday, some twisties with your mates, big meeting at the destination, even better hillclimb course, meet some new like-minded petrolheads, eat good food, and hopefully sunshine to put the icing on the cake.

Casual reminder that if you want to a) guarantee I photo your car or b) love your car sooooo much you want me all to yourself for a shoot, get in the DMs now while there’s availability.

See you there or be square.

Happy New Year, folks!

I gift you this set to celebrate the occasion ft. my attempt to rip off the iconic F4Media bridge rollers and a return to form with a “card at petrol station at night with fog and night sky” HJ classic. It’s a best of both worlds. Car photos for insta vibes.

Never again will I use silly hand signals to arrange cars for rollers ever again - walkie talkies are the move. Just don’t set the channel to 69 unless you want to be interrupted.

Thanks Blake and Jason for agreeing to get the R8s wet and dirty so I can update my portfolio. I hope you like the photos. Also s/o James and the split tailgate on the mighty X5M. W rollers rig.

Wrapping up the year with a lil’ NZPC feature 🫶🏼

Big s/o to Ronio, Blake and John for braving the absolute dogs breakfast that is Oropi Road, just so I could rinse one of my favourite locations for another car shoot. I reckon this has gotta be the best one so far though.

This was also the shoot that got me into doing rollers again too and man were they worth the (alleged) h/s violations. Don’t @ me.

I still have yet to fall out of a boot and the shots are very worth it imo. I’m also trying to figure out what secret sauce I managed to concoct to spice up the “soulless Sigma”. Is it just me or does this set actually have some depth and character, or am I just glazing myself? Idk. Was edited with a preset anyway (link in story highlights).

This isn’t a big end of year post either, however, it has been a good year. Achieved the goal of shooting 5 magazine features so gotta give a thanks to Deven and Isaac at NZPC/V8 respectively for making that happen. Hopefully they like my work enough to toss me some more gigs. Maybe if I tell you to go and buy both Jan/Feb issues of NZV8 and NZPC 👉🏼👈🏼🥺

Other than that, enjoy this weird bit between Christmas and New Years where days don’t exist and I may or may not post those photos with the R8s this year. We shall see.

Christmas Kiwi car cruise core (plus some Forza Horizon music)

Just out here committing questionable manoeuvres in the name of a good frame. We love rollers. Coromandel really is a an absolute W when it comes to a the ideal cocktail of driving roads, scenery and cool stop-off points. S/O for making sure we’re all able to get out and drive.

On the topic of questionable manoeuvres - more rollers and other shoots to be posted, however, out of respect to a certain print-media outlet we’ve got to hold onto them for a little while. Worth the wait though, trust.

Was talking to a fellow automotive photographer about how to pivot into appealing to more commercial clients - “cars + people” was my answer.

It’s probably the question I get asked the most.

“How does one, in New Zealand anyway, make a living from automotive photography?”

The short answer is that you don’t 😅

You can, however, combine cars and people and leverage that portfolio into more commercial work. At the end of the day you have to remember that people relate to people.

Unless of course they’re , in which case you can leverage a portfolio of car photography into starting a social media content business. But that’s a rare case of the stars aligning, and because I know that my audience here likes cars, you probably won’t see what really pays for new camera gear at rad.

So thanks .gt3 for trusting me, a car photographer and short form video guy, to take some cool personal brand photos 🫶🏼 (especially using manual focus lenses)

I’m quite proud of this set. To bookend my Ted Talk, it’s definitely being added to the portfolio.

Stay rad.

You’ll just have to wait and see who the client for this shoot was, but for a first time shoot to kick off a new working relationship I’m pretty happy.

Absolute w as well from the owner of these cars to hook me up with this shoot location. Client specified a certain look and feel for the set and I think we hit the “industrial” brief on the head.

Can you tell I’m happy with these photos?

Well I am. More to come (hopefully).

Late to posting Sakura photos, but hopefully it was worth the wait…

I guess I need to be more vocal about being available to book for car photos because all I’ve been shooting recently is my own car. But hey, at least that opens to doors to try new locations and different editing techniques?

In all seriousness though, car photography is still one of my favourite things to do and I really want to do more so pls book me 🥺👉🏼👈🏼
