This months special in Classic Ford Magazine is all about Estates. I met up with Rob Amat and his other half to photograph his MKIII Escort Estate, it was a fun shoot with a lot to laugh and talk about. We found a nice underground carpark with some interesting yellow pipes running along the background. To read the full article pick up a copy of the latest issue. Below are some images from the shoot:
Typically luck has it when we took this rare MKI Ford Granada GXL out to shoot for Classic Ford Magazine it was bin day, using the car to hide some of the bins and then some clever Photoshop work we managed to create a nice set of images. Danny has lovingly restored this Granada but made a silly mistake of bending the front strip of chrome off to realise later how rare the piece is with the last one on eBay fetching a whooping £2000. To read more about this Granada grab yourself the Summer 2016 issue of Classic Ford Magazine.
In this months issue of Classic Ford Magazine you can find a feature on Simon Shaw’s MKI Escort Cosworth, we photographed this on a cold day in December and found a really cool looking old urban estate.
When it started to get a little darker we headed down to the arcades on the seafront where we met a security guard who though he knew better about the law of photography and decided to pace up and down by the car. Luckily for us he didn’t realise that all the time he moves it is really easy to remove him from the image. Below you will find a selection of the images we took on the day, for the full feature grab a copy of the May issue of Classic Ford Magazine.
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.

It was a very wet day for car photography when we went out to shoot in Dartford, Kent when we came across this nice archway in a privately owned plot of land. After a bit of haggling with the security they allowed us an hour to shoot, by the end of the shoot the puddle you see by the cars wheels had pretty much filled up the whole area and my shoes. Afterwards I took a trip to Asda to get myself some dry socks and some cheap shoes to keep me warm on the way home. Below are a few images from the shoot and the tear sheets.
Dave Reed’s Anglia received a cracking feature this month on Classic Ford and was very well deserved, they even gave him 50% of the front cover. If you are into modified, clean and drivable Anglia’s then you need to grab yourself a copy of the January issue of Classic Ford Magazine from the shops and check out the car photography and write up.
In this months issue of Classic Ford Magazine automotive photographer Darren Woolway had two main features and images spread across 16 pages plus the front cover.
For all the Sidevalve fanatics out there this feature of the 100E Popular has been set out as a buyers guide, so go grab yourself a copy so that you know what to look out for. Below is a collection of images from the photoshoot and a few tear sheets.
Following this I went to Asda’s to get my feet dry, purchasing a nice cheap £6 pair of shoes and a set of socks. Thursday morning we met up again so we could complete the shoot and get some amazing moving shots of the car.
Check it out in the near future as a full feature for Classic Ford Magazine.
