Test Shoot – James Deane’s SR-X7
Just finished a quick edit on James Deane’s SR20 powered FD RX7 that I’d like to share. We were a bit stuck for time so we only had time to fire off a few test shots, but have no fear as a full shoot is on the cards. I cannot wait to get this car back in front of the lense …
Behind the Visor
Back in April, I was lucky enough to have time to shoot some portraits of some of the drivers and staff of the Prodrift Super Series. When the majority of your work is based around the machine and not the man, it can be refreshing change of pace to shoot the men (and indeed women) behind the visors. The idea behind these portraits was to portray the people behind the cars, to show the real person and not just the name you may recognize from the commentary. More after the jump …
Prodrift Monster Academy Cars
Just finished a series of six images to promote the Prodrift Academy, a school where anyone over the age of 13 can learn how to drift in a safe environment with the instructions of top level driver.For 2009, the two academy cars have received a revamp in matching Monster Energy Drink colours. More shots and some originals after the jump …
Before the drift, there was grip …
Between the drift action on Sunday, Mondello Park organised a ‘Track Versus Time Attack’ time attack to see which class would set the fastest time around Mondello’s national loop. Brendan Stone in the Trackday Performance Evo VI set fastest time of the day at 59.3 seconds, but the pace of the cars was astounding. Was interesting shooting grip as 90% of the track action I shoot is drift. I found that getting nice, clean sharp images is much easier compared to drifting as the cars move in a more predictable manner. I will definitely try get out for another round before the year is out ! More photos of the other competitors after the jump …
Car Feature >> Alan Sinnotts WKD Imports SR-86
Originally seen on Speedhunters.com When Rod asked the staff to come up with an ’86 related feature for 86 Day, I admit I did have to spend some time considering what to shoot. Ireland has quite an illustrious past with the wee hachi-roku, most commonly refered to as a ‘twin-cam’ or ‘cam’ in these parts. My first plan was to roll back the years on some of the most famous ’86s that have emerged from this small island. DMac’s infamous Falken car and Eric O’Sullivans F20C Rockstar car would obviously be the most recognisable but there have been some other gems that you may never heard of. This car above is one of them.
