Portraits for the Driven

Its all about the vehicle

My services are tailored to you and your vehicle. Is your car a classic that you have maintained religiously over the years? Is it a car you dreamed of owning from childhood? Perhaps it has sentimental value and is part of the family, or a dream sports car or supercar...whatever your reason for wanting this service, I will make sure you have images that capture the personality of your vehicle.

Why use a photographer?

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 deserve 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.

The Shoot

The Process

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).

Once you have received your images, you also have the option to have any of your favourites printed on Canvas or Aluminium, for that extra special effect. They can be block mounted, or re-printed and placed in a luxury mounted frame, or even have a selection of your favourite images presented in book form. There are all sorts of possibilities. Just ask and if it can be done...it shall be done!

These luxury items are sent away to 'Digitalab' to be printed, who are considered by many (including myself) to be the best quality specialist printers in the UK, so please allow up to 28 days for delivery.

Some further editing may be required to fit your image or images onto the size print you require without it causing distortion, to ensure you are fully satisfied, I will not send the order off for printing until I have a thumbs up from you, the customer.

A Gift?

Price List

Please note that any agreed dates are subject to favourable weather conditions and any locations out of a reasonable range may incur travelling costs.

Extra's Price List

All prices include VAT and UK Delivery (Delivery abroad can be arranged, but is priced accordingly) 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.
