Some more work for Top Gear magazine. This time out on the track with a R35 GT-R, Lamborghini LP552 and a V10 Audi R8.

While trying to shoot some action shots of the GT-R the Stig was having trouble getting it sideways. He drove over to me and I said ‘cant get this thing sideways huh?’ The Stig looks back at me and shakes his head. He was having no trouble in the R8 and the 2WD Lambo.

Not a bad day at the office.

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.

Here are some shots from a recent shoot for Top Gear Magazine at Holden’s Lang Lang Proving Ground in Melbourne.
Its pretty strange working with the Stig.
I explain to the him that I was worried about standing in a particular location to get an action shot. At the mention of him hitting me, he looks directly at me and shakes his head. No words, not a sound… and in true Stig style, he drifted the car past me 4 times perfectly.

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 a few shots from a recent trip to Canberra for Top Gear Magazine. We had an interesting mix of locations.

I was lucky enough to be part of this amazing trip for Wheels magazine.
I was asked to shoot the first 2 legs of the trip. This entailed 9 days of driving/shooting with about 1000km to drive per-day. Limited to one bag (For clothes and camera gear) it was a struggle for me to pack only a couple of lenses and single camera body, but man was it fun! I began the trip in Melbourne with motoring journalist Steve Nally. We spent the next….

Here are 9 recent cover shots.
