At it again, shooting some kids trikes for Eurotrike.

I was lucky enough to shoot Wheels magazines COTY (Car Of The Year). A huge amount of time and energy goes into picking the car. 57 cars were tested this year and the Golf GTI was the stand out.

Retouching is one of those things that seems to always be kept under the rug. Unfortunately it has become a standard in this digital age… and to be honest, I would prefer to be outside shooting rather than being in front of the computer going square-eyed. Sometimes, though its unavoidable. Here are 2 examples.

This first image was shot for NRMA – Open Road Magazine.
I had to shoot a cover shot of 4 cars. I was only given about 1/2 an hour to shoot the cars and the only elevated position I could get had a pretty ugly background.

Here are 9 recent cover shots.

We headed out to Tugalong Recreation Park for a full day shoot with Australian Dirt Bike Magazine.
It was a long day. There was a number of bike comparisons and also their cover shot in the afternoon.
We came up with a fire concept for the cover a few weeks before. The bike on the cover was a new Chinese built machine that uses all the new technology but its price point is almost half as much as all its competitors.

Check out the behind the scenes video from the cover shoot: We managed to get the cover in 5 shots.

Here are a few recent cover shots:

Here are a couple of shots taken for an advertising campaign. The images were used to promote Nulons Octane Booster.
There is nothing like trying to set the studio on fire…
