Millbrook-22 Cars-20 Hours



Just finished a rather large shoot at Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedfordshire England.
The site is used by many magazines,manufacturer's and the 5th Gear television programme to test vehicles and safely film them.In fact even some of the James Bond car stunts were filmed there.
It's very high security and every film crew-photographer has his or her own security guard to make sure they only shoot what they are supposed to.
We had a UK photo exclusive with the Bentley Zagato which is a mere snip at £750,000 !!
and many more exotic vehicles.
My favorite ? It's got to be the Mercedes C63 AMG as I got a chance to be scared out of my wits by our ex pro driver who kindly took me for a spin sideways around one of the tracks.What an experience that was...!! and what a talented driver.

This shoot is being featured in the November edition of Photo Pro magazine (On Sale at beginning of October 2008)

Pro Photo Insights


We are pleased to announce our new venture Pro Photo Insights.
I get many people express interest on how I create some of my work,so for a long time I have thought about producing some kind of online video content/training.
Following a chance online meeting and chatting I was finally inspired to take action and Professional Photographer Insights was born.
The idea is to show a start to finish (from behind the scenes) video footage of the photo shoot then screen casts of the retouching process.We encourage those who sign up to contact us and tell us what they wish to learn about e.g shooting panning shots of cars or what lenses have what effect on the landscape etc.The most popular request's will be made into a training video.We have lots more plans too so it's an exciting time to see where it will take us.
