Lotus Exige S V6 photoshoot

After the recent launch event for the exciting new Exige S from Lotus we finally had the chance for a road test and photoshoot. 

Although it was only a short drive along a favourite test route it was enough to highlight what an amazing car it is.

Karl Pesketts full review on The Motor Report has a more in depth look its performance. 

Lexus IS-F

This is a 2010 Lexus IS-F that I shot recently for a private client. It features the following modifications:

ISS Forged DES exhaust

Injen cold air intake

Swift springs

Carbon fibre front lip

Blacked out badges

​This car will soon be getting some more additions so stay tuned for another photoshoot then.

Ducati Panigale

The Panigale is the newest superbike from Ducati and this was one of the first to be delivered in Perth. I met up with the owner in an underground carpark in the city and was very pleased with the results. I shot these using a Canon 5D2, 70-200 and a couple of strobes.

BMW 1M Coupe

This is a car I was really excited about and it didn't disappoint during our afternoon at the RAC track with it.  "Our" BMW 1M Coupe came in the stunning Valencia Orange colour which came up nicely in the bright sunlight of a steaming hot December day. To help overcome the sun I hired a Elinchrom Ranger RX with matching heads from the guys at Camera Electronic.

Koenigsegg Factory Tour

The highlight of my 4-week trip across urope with the guys from Car Advice had to be the stop in Sweden to visit Koenigsegg - makers of the CCX. Over two days we had the opportunity to tour the workshop and see how these amazing cars are built, and then unleash the CCX on their private test track (an old airport).

ere are some photos from our time there.
