Aussie Muscle Car Auction

Recently I was lucky enough to be chosen by Slattery Auctions to photograph an 8-car collection for an upcoming auction that was going to get a lot of attention nationally. The cars were owned by a gentleman who was facing some legal issues (Google it to get all the details) so the cars were part of the assets being auctioned off to try and recover funds for disgruntled investors.

The highlight of the collection was a 1971 Ford Falcon Phase III GT-HO which ended up fetching $1.15M and breaking the record for the most expensive Australian-made car ever sold.

While there wasn’t much creative freedom for this shoot with only 1 hero shot per car required and no chance to move them from their secret location, it was an honour to be chosen and spend a day around these magnificent Aussie icons.

The resulting photos were used by just about every automotive publication in Australia, a few of which I’ve linked below:

1:18 F1 model car photoshoot

In these times of self isolation and social distancing, a number of my outdoor photoshoots have been postponed. Other than a special car which I have shot in my garage (images coming soon) I needed a creative outlet so decided to grab a couple of my 1:18 model cars and shoot them in the home studio.

The two subjects are a 1990 Ferrari 641/2 driven by Alain Prost and a 1994 Benetton B194 which Michael Schumacher drove to his first F1 world title. To make the task a little more challenging I decided to shoot the cars with the plan to composite them into new backgrounds - which meant being very careful with things like camera position/angle and how to light the cars. I used a mixture of my Profoto B1 and a couple of LED panels to create the right look. Since the Ferrari was going into a scene with a wet surface I even used a paint brush to apply a bit of water to the tyres to help place it in the environment.

Hope you enjoy the images, drop a comment below if you have any ideas of other photos I can create with my model cars (mix of road and F1).

Car Camera Rig photography and hire in Perth

There are a number of ways to achieve motion shots in the car photography game, all with their own pros and cons. These days the “virtual rig” technique, which involves creating the motion in Photoshop/Virtual Rig software, is becoming the most popular method amongst more accomplished photographers. A number of the shots in my portfolio were achieved using this method.

However, the old school physical car rig still has it’s place in my opinion. The kit I use was purchased from Car Camera Rig in the UK and is made up of a carbon fibre boom and all the relevant accessories to attach it to a car and a camera to it. While it is time consuming to set up on location and also in Photoshop (to remove the carbon pole/suction cups from the image), the results are worth it - a well executed rig shot always has a wow factor about it.

I will soon be announcing a new photoshoot option which will consist of only rig shots, and it will be the cheapest option I have ever offered. Perfect for the budget conscious or those who really only want some dynamic moving shots of their car.

I am also looking at the idea of making the rig available to rent/hire for other photographers, and being available to show them how to set it up and use it to get the best results. The fairly high cost of the equipment (up to $5000 AUD) means it isn’t a viable option for many hobbyist photographers. Stay tuned.

Isuzu Trucks and Orbit Fitness shoot

Anthony from Arkajon Communications in Melbourne recently got in touch with me to arrange photography for an upcoming feature in Diesel magazine. His client, Isuzu Trucks Australia, needed some images of their trucks in use by Orbit Fitness in a showcase about how customers meet their business requirements utilising Isuzu trucks. Orbit Fitness have a pair of NPR 55-155’s that they use to move fitness equipment between stores and to deliver to customers.

This was one of those shoots where the location was dictated by the photography brief, so the photos had to be taken at the distribution centre and one of the retail outlets. While this limits the creativity possible it provides an accurate representation of how the trucks are used.

For all your commercial vehicle and truck photography requirements please get in touch to discuss your options.

You can read the article and see more photos on the Isuzu website here.

Sunrise Furniture - product and website photography

Local Perth furniture manufacturer, Sunrise Furniture, decided they needed to update their website and catalogue to better showcase what they can do. They got in touch with me to provide all the photography required - this involved 2 days in the studio shooting their range (tables, beds, shelves, benches etc) and another 2 days at their workshop and a couple of customers residences.

The studio work took place at Friday’s Studio in West Perth and was shot on my Sony A7R3 with Profoto B1 lights/softboxes.

Ferrari F8 Tributo launch in Perth

Barbagallo Ferrari recently held the launch of the new F8 Tributo, the mid-engined V8 replacement of the 488 GTB from the Maranello firm. The event took place at Brookfield Place in the heart of the CBD.

I was entrusted to cover the event for Barbagallo and provide images for their social media pages and also internal use. This was the first time I got to use my new Godox V1 flash and I must say I came away very impressed - great unit especially considering the price. As always my trusty Sony A7R3 was used.

Awesome night, thanks to everyone at Barbagallo.

Website update - motorbike photoshoots

As Perths premier motorbike photographer it was about time I added a dedicated two-wheel section to the website. Previously they were a bit lost amongst all the car shoots on the home page, but no longer!

Check out the new page to see some of the hottest motorbikes in Perth that have been infront of my camera for either private shoots or magazine features.

If you would like your bike photographed hit me up via the contact page to discuss the options.

Mitsubishi Motors and BGC team up

Mitsubishi Motors Australia was recently awarded the contract to supply over 500 vehicles to BGC Australia, one of the biggest building and construction companies in the country.

The majority of these will be the new Triton, and Mitsubishi asked me to provide some coverage of the first one being delivered to BGC’s Canning Vale site.

After some back and forth on the post production we came up with a result that pleased both clients. For all your commercial or editorial automotive photography needs in Perth please get in touch.

Perth car photography voucher - GT3 RS and Cayman GT4

It’s that time of year again where you need to start thinking of what to get your loved ones for Christmas.

Simone got in touch with me last Xmas and purchased a photoshoot gift voucher for her husband and his Porsche Cayman GT4. As it turns out, he ended up adding a 991.2 GT3 RS in Lizard Green to the garage so the shoot was delayed until that finally arrived this month. It was a great night and another very happy customer.

So if your partner has a car that they love and you would like to organise a present that will give them lasting memories of it, please get in touch.
