It was a humbling experience being one of only a handful of people to spend some alone time photographing the only McLaren F1 in Australia for the front cover and feature of Issue 4 of Benzina Magazine . Being trusted around this 20 million dollar car with only a short time to produce these images was certainly stressful however i’m really pleased with the outcome for the client. Thanks again Jack and Barry for the opportunity to photograph this automotive icon.

After almost 4 months of strict lockdown here in Melbourne, we were finally let outside in late October 2020. This magazine photoshoot was my first shoot back after this long break and i must admit it did feel foreign and i did feel a bit rusty.
These images were taken for the January 2021 Issue of Retrobike Magazine which should be hitting newsagents in the next 2 weeks. Once again thanks to the bikes owner Greg for having such an eclectic range of bikes in his collection. You can check out Gregs Triumph X75 that was featured in a past issue of the same magazine from the following link

The Plymouth Roadrunner is quite a rare sight here on Australian roads, what makes this 1970 model even more special is the spec it left the factory coming with a 440+6 drivetrain, manual gearbox and air grabber. The cars owner Brian is an avid muscle car collector and restorer. He travelled to New York state to collect the car and then drove it across to the west coast of the USA and shipped it back here to Melbourne, Australia. As the car was in average condition it was treated to a full restoration undertaken by Brian at his workshop . Finished in its original blue paint its great to see this American classic is driven regularly, just the way all cars should be.
This shoot was commissioned by US Publication Mopar Action Magazine , luckily we had a chance to shoot this car just before the Covid 19 lockdowns began.
This beautifully restored 250cc classic Ducati Scrambler was photographed recently for the April Issue of Retrobike Magazine. The current owner bought the bike over the internet from Northern Italy and had it shipped all the way to the other side of the world here in Australia. A great looking restored retro bike that would be a whole lot of fun on the streets.
Back on a warm January afternoon in 2019 i had the pleasure of shooting Josh’s custom Husqvarna Nuda 900R Cafe Racer for the April issue of Retrobike Magazine.
After a small accident and a generous insurance payout Josh decided to do something different with his already very rare Nuda. He decided to convert it into a modern Cafe Racer with a custom kit made specifically for the bike by a German parts specialist called LSL. The bikes suspension and tuning was also been enhanced by the experts at Race Center. Theres a lot more to the story of this bike which can be found in its magazine feature but for now enjoy the photos.
These images were featured in the April 2019 Issue of Retro Bike Magazine.

Recently had the chance to shoot these two very special Jaguars for a private client. On the left we have the Spa and Bathurst Race Winning Tom Walkinshaw Racing Jaguar XJ-S. This car has a rich race history across the globe and is currently owned, raced and maintained by Jaguar specialist Mike Roddy. On the right is rare hand built 1993 Walkinshaw XJR-S V12 road car in original condition with only 7,400kms on the clock, the car was brought into the country from Japan in 2019. We were fortunate enough to have an hour on track access at Sandown Racetrack to take these shots.

A very cold wet & day was spent at the track back in September capturing images for the October issue of Motorcycle Trader Magazine. This shoot was broken into two parts. Part 1 was to capture images for an editorial documenting a returning rider participating in a riders training course at Broadford State Motorcycle Complex. Magazine editor Chris took park in the rider training on track but he also required images for the feature on his 1986 BMW R80 G/S Paris Dakar and its upgraded suspension. Seeing as though it was a wet and miserable September day we decided to shoot the bike in its natural habitat, off road. Lucky for us the grounds of the Broadford State Motorcycle complex also works as the perfect terrain for an adventure bike shoot.
