Kent All Ford Show 2016

This year’s All Ford Show in Kent at The Friars, Aylesford Priory was fantastic. It was the first time I tried photographing cars at an event and providing prints on the day and it was well received. With approximately 320 cars in attendance this pushes last years numbers up 100 cars, there were 400 booked but it was raining first thing in the morning.

Below are a selection of the 300+ cars that I shot that day from modern day Fords, Classic and Heritage and even the odd American and custom car.

Air Lift Performance

Last month we went out with Jamie a young car enthusiast from Kent to photograph his Audi A6 Estate. The A6 is his daily drive and at home he is working on a fast Ford 100E Escort. The problem with modifying cars is once you start you just can’t stop and it appears Jamie has got the bug.

Even though it is less than a month since our last shoot he has already added an air ride system and a custom front grille, this means that he was desperate to get some update images of it to show the before and after. Having suggested that he would like to shoot in London I found an idyllic location, the weather Monday evening was far from perfect and although I advised against it we still went out.

In-between the breaks in the rain we quickly shammied down the car and started shooting, the results were great despite the weather. Have a look at the gallery below:

1957 Chevy BelAir – ACM

Last September I had the honour of meeting up with Mark Harrison to photograph his 1957 Chevy BelAir for American Car Magazine (April 2016 issue). After selling his ’74 Camaro and arranging a few loans he bought this beauty. To read the full feature grab yourself a copy from WHSmith’s before it goes out of stock. Below are a few images from the shoot:
