In Stores Now …
Just had my first UK cover feature published in this month’s Japanese Performance. The feature of the Need for Speed D-Mac AE86 has been a particularly sweet moment for me as I was fortunate enough to document the build of this incredible machine. Check out the full feature on this rotary powered beast, on news…

Back to the Daily Grind …
It’s fair to say that the motorsport season is well underway once more and my poor blog is getting neglected once again. You can still keep up with me on Speedhunters or on Twitter if you really miss me that much. I’m also doing my best to keep my Flickr account up to date so be…

California Dreamin’ – Honda Integra DA6 Feature
Just published my first feature of 2011 on Speedhunters on this USDM inspired Honda Integra. The car was built entirely on Irish shores so it’s fantastic to see people are still pushing the envelope in regards to aftermarket styling here. More images after the jump …

Broadspeed Ford Escort
This car was my own personal Moby Dick for such a long period of time but it finally got caught in front of my lens last October to be captured exclusively for the pages of Classic Ford Magazine. Accompanied by the one and only Baron Bryn Musselwhite we set about spending a day getting to…

Caddy Life
For all three of you (Hi Mammy) who regularly visit here, I apologise profusely for the lack of updates and content. Needless to say the last month or two have been entirely taken over on the biggest project I’ve ever worked on which will hopefully be unveiled to the world quite shortly. In the meantime…

Wexican Motorsport SX20
After a lengthy delay, the Wexican Motorsport Nissan powered Toyota Altezza has finally been completed. I was quite fortunate to shoot the world exclusive feature on the car for Speedhunters. We got really lucky with the shoot, the location played out well, no distractions and although the light was a bit of a pain, it…

Team Japspeed
When we visited Japspeed for a shop visit and a couple of interviews, Paul aka Mr. Japspeed asked if we could get a killer group shot of the four team cars. The team’s workshop turned out to be a pretty good location and a much better alternative to venturing outside into the hostile weather conditions.…

Edition38X
I’m going to try and make an attempt to catch up on some coverage I’ve been shooting for Speedhunters recently. The first of which was the awesome Edition38X event in Overstone Park, Northampton, United Kingdom. The relaxed atmosphere made this one of my favourite shows in 2010. The quality and quantity of cars was absolutely…

Rotorstock VII
A slightly faster update this time ! This was my first ever trip to Santa Pod, a venue I’ve been wanting to visit for quite some time. The event was Rotorstock, a gathering of the UK’s finest rotary powered Mazdas. The event was also host to the fourth round of the 2010 HKS Drag Series.…

Ford Fair
It’s been a busy few weeks so I’m only getting around to posting these images from Ford Fair now. The event took place at Silverstone and was a massive hit. With an estimated 3,500 exhibitor cars on show, I didn’t even see half of them during the course of the day such was the quality…

Dennis Healy’s SR20DET AE86
To celebrate the global AE86 day on August 6th, I met up with Prodrift competitor Dennis Healy who famously piloted the Nexen Tires SR86 with great success. He’s now built this Trueno street car from the track car which had an unfortunate meeting with a tire wall last year. This car has all the right…

RS Owners Club Annual Bolands Meet
July 25th saw the Irish branch of the Ford RSOC once again descend on the forecourt of Bolands Main Ford Dealer, New Ross, Co. Wexford. It’s the second year running that Bolands have cleared their showroom and forecourt to make room for some of Ireland’s finest Fords. The quality of the cars was something else…

Supercharged E46
I posted a sneak preview of this a couple of months back. Well the feature just hit the shelves in issue #157 of Redline Magazine so you can check it out there. There’s also a brief behind the scenes feature on Speedhunters about the shoot. The rest of the shoot can be found after the…

Nexen Tires 1JZ S15 Silvia
You may have already seen the preview here or the full feature on Speedhunters but as always I like to show the images a little bit larger here with no watermarks. It’s a very special car owned by Christy Carpenter, built from the ground up by the folks at Garage D and the 1JZ built…

Nigel Colfer 180JZ Preview
Spent today shooting Nigel Colfer’s recently victorious 1JZ powered RPS13. I’m pretty happy with how it all went although we did spend over two hours searching for a location the results may just be worth it. Here’s a quick edit from the last shot of the day back at Nigel’s place. Now to finally start…

Team Nexen
Just finished quickly working over this shot of the two Team Nexen Ireland cars of Christy Carpenter and James Deane. It’s a simple enough composite, containing around five images. We only had time for one angle as the guy’s had to head to practice so I don’t think it came out too bad. I know…

Behind the Scenes
Just a quick snap from a shoot this weekend gone on Christy Carpenters Nexen 1JZ S15. Keep an eye out for the full feature coming soon …

Mazda FD3-S RX7
Spent most of yesterday shooting this beautifully understated RX7. The owner is a close friend of mine, so getting the most out of this shoot was top priority. This was my first shoot since October, so has been a while since I last got behind the lens. The colour was a challenge to shoot, not…

James Deane’s SR20 RX7
Shot these last year during a brief ten minute shoot and having previously only paid attention to posting one shot I’ve tried to put together a short series of shots with a more inline style of post work. Let me know your comments, good or bad ! More after the break

1300E by the Sea
Just before my laptop spontaneously combusted a couple of weeks ago, I shot my father’s Escort 1300 Executive. The shoot took place on a chilly winters morning by the seaside. It was a back to basics shoot for me; no lights, rig or tracking shots. Just the 5D2 and two lenses. More after the jump…

Modified Motors Live 2009
Sunday just gone was the last major event of the year for us, the show being Modified Motors Live at Punchestown Racecourse. The event also featured what was billed as the Prodrift ‘Battle of Nations’ but it was clear from the start of the day that the event was only to be a trial day…

October Update …
Just received the latest issue of top Aussie magazine, Autosalon, in the post. They’ve just ran a feature I shot last year on the WKD / Koguchi Power Falken Chaser. The feature ran to seven pages with a great write up from Dan Goodyer. More images & news after the jump …
