A sample of my work and events attended.

The second instalment of Porsches by the Lake had finally come round on the 17th of June. An event we very much enjoyed last year which you can read about elsewhere on this blog. The organisers had promised a bigger experience this year with more going on fully utilising the extent of the stunning grounds […]

We took the Type 2 Detectives insane Baja bug into a studio for this Hayburner Magazine shoot  for the latest issue number 45. As of the last issue it’s now available in a slimmed down digital form on their website for you to read, take a look here. The studio, just outside of Cambridge is […]

Stunning Ferrari 575 Marinello shot for PIE Performance in Suffolk. A nice change to be shooting a couple of cars recently for PIE not from the Stuttgart stable. You may have noticed a new background too as their site development expands opening up this lovely green vista as a background to their new car park […]

BMW M4 CS

BMW M4 CS

More photos of sales cars for PIE Performance recently with this BMW M4 CS. What a beast of a car, twin turbo 3 litre, black on black on black with some really nice interior and carbon details. If you’re looking for a photographer to make your car stand out when you come to sell it, […]

Porsche 911 Garage Find

The WhatsApp message was clear… “we’ve been offered this car which has been parked up for 30 years, would you be interested in filming our journey with the car from the collection onwards?” Of course I would, yes please. It turns out the car in question is a particularly cool car, a 43k mile, right […]

Something Festive

It seemed like the perfect idea but would they go for it? I promised to be extra careful and PIE Performance were happy for me to cover this stunning 930LE in fairy lights for their Christmas promotion. The idea was that the forest green Porsche Turbo would become the tree. I mean you wouldn’t need […]

Drive with Art Film

I have tried to avoid making films from events until now. The reason being that most of the events I go to I’m there to enjoy them. If you’re there to work, especially filming more than photographing you completely miss out on that element and don’t really get the time to catch up with anyone. […]

Paul Medhurst’s stunning Porsche 924 photographed for Hayburner Magazine. I’ve had a passion for old Volkswagens and Porsche for as long as I can remember and the first magazines I used to get were a mixture of Volksworld magazine, Porsche brochures and the local free ads. This was when I was at school and then […]

There’s a few good things to come out of social media with one of the most positive being the bringing together of communities. Communities of people who share a common interest but may be from different worlds. I think the car scene in general embraces that mix of society and background experience. When it’s a […]

Car For Sale Photography

Photographs to sell your car

More ‘car for sale’ photography advertising this stunning Iris Blue Porsche 993 Carrera 4S for the good folk at Pie Performance in Suffolk. A rare car, in a rare colour deserving of a superb set of photographs and video for use on social media. When capturing any car I always make sure to not only […]

The Viva Skeg Vegas VW show was back this year and bigger and better than ever. For reasons beyond our control we were only there for what seemed like 6 minutes (or more, but no longer than a couple of hours). We had a quick look round and caught up with loads of friends which […]

991 GT3 Photography

Porsche GT3 for sale photography

You’ll remember this one that’s for sure. What a car it is too. Having used it for promotional material including this exhaust advertisement  which went down very well the car was then put up for sale by PIE Performance and I was delighted again to be asked to take the photos and video for their website […]

Celebrating 50 years of the original Porsche Carrera RS the Porsche Classics at the Castle event had what has to be one of the largest displays of its kind with a gaggle of ducktails parked up facing the Norman Keep. We’ve been before, to this event and various other events. Hedingham Castle is fairly local […]

If you’re looking for a new car at the moment I’d be surprised if you hadn’t been tempted by the price of a first model Porsche Boxster. The 986 model was launched in 1996. Let that sink in…. It does seem like it was only yesterday doesn’t it? There are still cars turning up with […]

T2D Open House

Type 2 Detectives always put on a good event. This being their first post pandemic open day, it was always going to be a big one. Combined with a local region Porsche Club GB event there was a good mix of Porsche and Volkswagens along with the usual oddballs thrown into the mix (both people […]

The Baked Bean

The baked bean as it’s affectionally know by it’s owner. This stunning 996 GT3 with Porsche Motorsport Cup engine in the rear was the subject of a magazine advertisement for PIE Performance. Belonging to and being used with permission by one of their customers I was oh so happy to oblige. I’ve shot some cool […]

Things can be pretty much on your doorstep sometimes and you don’t know they are there until someone points them out. This was very much the case with the Hennesseys, Hennesseys plural as even though this post is about the new Performance company I should really mention the well established Lifestyle element first. How could […]

What a treat Porsches by the Lake was! Set in the grounds of Little Eastern Manor comprising of not only a Manor House but also and probably fairly obviously, a huge lake too. It was one of those events where it just worked. From arrival, to us getting guided in to our lakeside parking spot […]

GT3 Exhaust Advert

This was a fun day out and a fantastic opportunity to do something like this with such a cool car. It left me in a state of serious pining after this 991 GT3 which you may recognise from some of my earlier posts. This time the car was being used to promote a full titanium […]

Silver Boxsters

Two on the same day shot for PIE Performance in Suffolk a 986 and a 987, and certainly interesting to compare them almost side by side. The later car, the 987 while more refined and a bit more modern in the cabin is now at an age where that more up-to-date interior and tech isn’t […]

PPT 964TF

A promotional film showing the details of a Porsche 911 bespoke build for PIE Performance Tuning. This is the PPT 964TF a ‘Targa Florio’ edition. One of 6 right hand drive cars with this designation as an end of line run as specified by the Porsche Exclusive Department. The car has been turned into a […]

PORSCHE 991 GT3

This awesome rhodium silver GT3 was booked in at PIE Performance for a suspension and tracking setup. I just had to go over and get some shots. It was almost the perfect day, plenty of mood in the sky. Along with a couple of photographs outside, I was really there to get some shots of […]

Product Photography

Photographs of the components for a newly developed ignition kit for the Porsche 911. Shot for PIE Performance in Suffolk for use on the Performance Tuning section of their website here. I shot these on black acrylic to get the reflections and have also shot some rotating video on a turntable to be used in […]

Cool to make it down to a new local car meet. Hosted by Well Driven who offer not only an award winning motoring blog but automotive consignments too. As you do, I stumbled across their cars for sale partaking in the constant car browse I seem to find myself in. Turned out to be not a […]

Boxster

Carmon Red Boxster 987

The colour on this Boxster (Carmon Red) was something else. Whoever specified this car certainly had vision separating it from the usual silver or black. It didn’t hang around for long, for sale for…… 15 minutes…. I kid you not! I’d like to think my photos played a big part in that of course, I […]

Cars and Coffee

PIE Performance cars and coffee

Back to PIE Performance for another cars and coffee event. They did well to squeeze two of these events into the tail end of last year after the lockdown was eased. Different cars again, and we took our 1967 beetle with us for it’s longest drive since we’ve owned it. Lets just say it made […]

Porsche 997 C4S

Porsche 997 Carrera 4S Arctic Silver

An absolute classic, a Porsche 911 in Arctic Silver, a standout example again for sale by PIE Performance and the subject of my welcome page for a while at least. Just utterly love the shape of a 997.   Photography package enhanced with a short shoot and edit for Instagram reels

Porsche 996 C4S

Porsche 996 Carrera 4S

Another car shot for PIE Performance to add to their showroom and for social media promotion. The 996 C4S has always been the more desirable of the 996 models, apart from the GT line of course. The 996 in general  has had a rough time with criticism of it’s front end mainly and with it […]

Nice to shoot something a bit different, an Audi R8 this time with a factory wrap and the mighty V8. A short video below as uploaded to instagram as a reel to enhance the sales drive of this particular car. Shot for PIE Performance in Suffolk. Stock photography yes, but not standard.

The welcome return of this much loved Porsche event at the simply stunning Hedingham Castle in Essex. A return also to the low key format of old with static parking and traders. An amazing amount of Porsche 356 filled the area around the Norman Keep with early 911s, 12s and some stunning period racecars filling […]
