Ford Fair
It’s been a busy few weeks so I’m only getting around to posting these images from Ford Fair now. The event took place at Silverstone and was a massive hit. With an estimated 3,500 exhibitor cars on show, I didn’t even see half of them during the course of the day such was the quality [...]
Dennis Healy’s SR20DET AE86
To celebrate the global AE86 day on August 6th, I met up with Prodrift competitor Dennis Healy who famously piloted the Nexen Tires SR86 with great success. He’s now built this Trueno street car from the track car which had an unfortunate meeting with a tire wall last year. This car has all the right [...]
RS Owners Club Annual Bolands Meet
July 25th saw the Irish branch of the Ford RSOC once again descend on the forecourt of Bolands Main Ford Dealer, New Ross, Co. Wexford. It’s the second year running that Bolands have cleared their showroom and forecourt to make room for some of Ireland’s finest Fords. The quality of the cars was something else [...]
6/8/2010
Or the 8/6 as our friends in the US and Japan would say. Happy AE86 Day folks, be sure to keep an eye on Speedhunters for the full feature above along with a host of other AE86 stories !
Supercharged E46
I posted a sneak preview of this a couple of months back. Well the feature just hit the shelves in issue #157 of Redline Magazine so you can check it out there. There’s also a brief behind the scenes feature on Speedhunters about the shoot. The rest of the shoot can be found after the [...]
Nexen Tires 1JZ S15 Silvia
You may have already seen the preview here or the full feature on Speedhunters but as always I like to show the images a little bit larger here with no watermarks. It’s a very special car owned by Christy Carpenter, built from the ground up by the folks at Garage D and the 1JZ built [...]
Nigel Colfer 180JZ Preview
Spent today shooting Nigel Colfer’s recently victorious 1JZ powered RPS13. I’m pretty happy with how it all went although we did spend over two hours searching for a location the results may just be worth it. Here’s a quick edit from the last shot of the day back at Nigel’s place. Now to finally start [...]
Team Nexen
Just finished quickly working over this shot of the two Team Nexen Ireland cars of Christy Carpenter and James Deane. It’s a simple enough composite, containing around five images. We only had time for one angle as the guy’s had to head to practice so I don’t think it came out too bad. I know [...]
Behind the Scenes
Just a quick snap from a shoot this weekend gone on Christy Carpenters Nexen 1JZ S15. Keep an eye out for the full feature coming soon …
Mazda FD3-S RX7
Spent most of yesterday shooting this beautifully understated RX7. The owner is a close friend of mine, so getting the most out of this shoot was top priority. This was my first shoot since October, so has been a while since I last got behind the lens. The colour was a challenge to shoot, not [...]
James Deane’s SR20 RX7
Shot these last year during a brief ten minute shoot and having previously only paid attention to posting one shot I’ve tried to put together a short series of shots with a more inline style of post work. Let me know your comments, good or bad ! More after the break
1300E by the Sea
Just before my laptop spontaneously combusted a couple of weeks ago, I shot my father’s Escort 1300 Executive. The shoot took place on a chilly winters morning by the seaside. It was a back to basics shoot for me; no lights, rig or tracking shots. Just the 5D2 and two lenses. More after the jump [...]
Modified Motors Live 2009
Sunday just gone was the last major event of the year for us, the show being Modified Motors Live at Punchestown Racecourse. The event also featured what was billed as the Prodrift ‘Battle of Nations’ but it was clear from the start of the day that the event was only to be a trial day [...]
October Update …
Just received the latest issue of top Aussie magazine, Autosalon, in the post. They’ve just ran a feature I shot last year on the WKD / Koguchi Power Falken Chaser. The feature ran to seven pages with a great write up from Dan Goodyer. More images & news after the jump …
HKS Evolution IX in Autosalon
Received these awesome spreads from the guys at Autosalon Magazine in Australia featuring a shoot I done last year on the WKD Imports HKS Evolution IX. More spreads after the jump !
BMW E46 M3 CSL
Sorry about the delay in getting this post together, has been busy here the last while at PMCG Studios. Earlier this month, Junior from Irish motoring site Driver.ie approached me about shooting a rare E46 CSL that was located down the country. With an upcoming BMW theme on Speedhunters, it was an offer I couldn’t [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
Karnage Maxxis Onevia
This week gone, I got the pleasure of tackling Dean ‘Karnages’ Kearney Maxxis endorsed Nissan Onevia. The shoot turned into an eventful one, first it rained and then rained some more. It was also the first time I got to grips with my new rig, albeit in its shortest configuration as the rest hadn’t been [...]
Rig shots …
2008 saw me acquire my first rig. It’s served me well but It’s limitations are starting to get on my nerves. Since I’m about to retire it, I thought I’d show some of the best shots it created …
