Favourite Reads for the Holidays?

December 30, 2009

I was sad to see the passing of Borders Bookstores here in the UK. My local store always had a good range of photography books, plus there was a large shelf dedicated to international magazines, things like Excellence, the USA Porsche mag and some great film and photo mags. So my post-Christmas wandering took me [...]

Tees Time Lapse

October 19, 2009

You’ve got to watch this Behind The Scenes vid of director Richard Patterson shooting using a Canon 1D stills camera firing at 10 frames per second, coupled with a rack load of Profoto light strobes, Red Rock Micro and a cool Steadicam rig.

Toilet Reading Material?

September 7, 2009

There’s been a lot of talk about EPaper disposable LCD’s recently and how they might be the saviour of the magazine industry. Some say that being able to enmbed video into a magazine will be revolutionary, others comment that the ‘disposability’ factor and apparent wastefulness in this age is unacceptable.
What both sides have yet to [...]

Dead Metal – The Start

September 2, 2009

I’ve been meaning to kick this one off for more than a year now, but I guess with the birth of my Driving Images car photography website, it’s a good time. Dead Metal will be my first real ‘personal project’ as such. I’m a big believer in personal work, but in the past, personal projects [...]

Last weekend, I was shooting a personal car for someone and it seemed like the perfect chance to test out the Elinchrom Ranger lights the guys at The Flash Centre are so proud of. I have to say that the more I use this kit, the more I love it.
