This great vid by Bandito Brothers has been screaming around the internet and we’d love to make contact with them for an interview. Take a killer combination of BMW M3, gorgeous girl, the Canon 5D Mk2 and some great rig shots in stills and video and this is what you get. For me, this is the [...]

Mr Canon, you make a tough flash gun…

Neill — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:41:58 +0000

Unpacking all my gear after a shoot in North Yorkshire recently I stared in shock at the gap in my Lowepro where my 550EX usually sits. It took a second or so as I mentally rewound to when I last had my hands on it, then groaned…. I’d been using it for a bit of [...]

Ayrton Senna – Rally Driver

Neill — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 08:23:33 +0000

Here’s another magazine cover that inspired me with car photography when I was young. I grew up in the era of Porsche 930 Turbos, Group B rally cars, Escorts and Tyrrell F1 cars. The magazine I read in my bedroom was Cars and Car Conversions, cutting my teeth on articles about porting heads, jetting carbs. So [...]

Two Great Cameras for Car Photography?

Neill — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 15:31:33 +0000

Yesterday, Canon announced the new Canon G11 and Powershot S90. Over the last few years, I’ve nearly always carried some kind of compact Canon camera around with me, but since I sold my last Ixus (very bad decision), I’ve been without something to grab those moments with. So how will they stack up as car [...]

How It All Started For Me

Neill — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 10:41:54 +0000

This is the front cover of the publication that started me photographing cars. Back in 1985, Car Magazine published a softback called simply Car Photo. In it, there were shots by eight Car Magazine photographers that had appeared in the mag and over 130 pages of car photography. But for the first time, the photographer described [...]

If you’re into cars and video, you’d have to be dead not to have heard of Ken Block and his Subaru Gymkana videos. He seems to be replacing the late Colin McRae as the Subaru promotional tool of choice. Regardless of your opinion of Ken’s driving (and there are plenty of “I could do that” [...]
