Pride & Joy

A professional photographer offers far more than just a camera. Modern mobile phones can in truth, take decent pictures, they cannot however, match the skill, experience, and creative vision of a trained professional. As professional photographers, we understand lighting, composition, angles, and editing techniques that transform ordinary photographs into high-quality images.

A mobile phone may work well for casual snapshots, but your vehicle deserves a higher standard. Whether it is photographing your vehicle...or even a wedding, food, portraits, or special events, a professional knows how to capture emotions, details, and atmosphere in a way that reflects a story. They also use specialist equipment, including high-resolution cameras, lenses, lighting, and editing software, to produce sharp, polished results that phones simply cannot consistently achieve. This is especially true when shooting Cars and Motorbikes.

Another key advantage is reliability. Professional photographers prepare for different environments, weather conditions, and lighting situations to ensure every shot looks its best. This allows you to relax and enjoy the process.

In the end, professional photography is an investment in quality, experience, and lasting memories. While mobile phones are convenient, they rarely deliver the timeless and professional results that I, as a skilled photographer can provide.

We will begin with the Static shots, your car or bike will be in place somewhere scenic, and photographs will be taken in situ, focussing on the lines, features and personality of the Vehicle. The photographs will be both internal and external (so a full valet beforehand is highly recommended!).

Then (if you have purchased Pride & Joy Premium) we get to the fun part, motion shots! We will find a place that you feel captures the personality of your car, it may be a country road, a beach, an industrial estate...the possibilities are endless and decided after a discussion about your car and what you want from the images. We will then do tracking shots where you get to drive your car while I do my bit and get the photos, and if you want anything particular, then just let me know beforehand. 

Once this is done, the hard work begins (for me at least!), and I take the images, edit them to the highest standard, and present them to you, along with an A3 framed print or prints of the images (1 x A3 in Standard Package, 3 x A3 in Excel Package).

There is the option however, for Premium framing, and if you wish to go with this option, just Select the 'Digital Packages', and then look further down the page to the options available. 

Sovereign

The Sovereign frame is a classic...a rustic, heritage frame composed of high quality materials and hand crafted by experts. Available in four interior design led colours, the sovereign frame can include Anti-Reflective glazing as well as UV resistant Art Glass to protect your image. It can also be upgraded to Fine Art quality paper for that extra special finish, with mounts selected specifically to compliment your car.

Manhattan Tray Frame

 Hand finished metallic finishes perfectly frame your choice of a photographic, fine art or acrylic print with a deep shadow gap. The shadow gap between the frame and image create a unique floating effect for the image. The three finishing options to choose from produce a stunning piece of gallery standard wall art designed to compliment your car. Choose from Fuji Colour Crystal Archive Photographic C-type Paper with a deep crystal laminate, exquisite Fine Art Paper with a giclee varnish coating or high-impact HD Acrylic, all of which are mounted onto archival foamex panel. 

Aluminium ChromaLuxe Panel

 ChromaLuxe Aluminium Print is an ultra-high definition metal print with amazing depth of colour due to the image dye transfer process of infusing dyes into the specially coated Aluminium all of which are made from recycled materials and 100% recyclable themselves. Incredibly hard wearing, waterproof and robust scuff resistant, these look equally as good in a garage above your pride and joy, as they do in a modern home or apartment setting.

 PLEASE NOTE: Due to the natural materials used in the aluminium, small imperfections in the surface may be visible through the image on rare occasions, such as tiny dimples. There can also be slight variations in the colour from your image/monitor to the final print, due to the nature of how the metal is printed through dye sublimation. We do NOT reprint jobs because of these variations and imperfections.
