I've been doing a fair bit of magazine work over the past few months. It means I've got lots of photos I haven't been able to share online. As magazines come out I'll let you know on this thread and as they come off the shelves I'll add more pics from the shoots that didn't get published. I'll also try and share some of what when on at some of the shoots.
First on the horizon is Milkcow Magazine, they have put some preview shots up on their Facebook Page of Issue 5, including some of a shoot I did with Cherry Vanity and Brian’s 32 Ford Roadster. You’ll be able to order online through their website soon and the issue will be on sale at the NEC Classic Car show. My shot is just in the corner of the cover..
...and a preview of the feature...

Thanks guys 
Andy, yes I'm being sent to cover cars now rather than shooting them and then seeing if the mags want them. I hadn't done any magazine work for a couple of years but I've got a good relationship with some of the guys now so it's better this time. It's tough getting the balance between shooting what you want to shoot and giving them what they want.

Thats pretty much why I was asking. I'm doing some promo work for a local boutique and found it hard going on a test to shoot a continuation that they could use across their material. Best of luck, and well done again!

I'll get some more info up on this soon, for a recent shoot (with 3 cars) I drew up a story board so the mangazine could see what I had in mind and make suggestions on other shots they may want. There is always some "and anything else you think would look good" scope too. You don't want to make it too much of a science as when the scene is in front of you you're bound to think of something else. The main problem I have getting sent out to shoot cars away from my area is finding locations, Google Map street view has proved to be a godsend, but it doesn't help much out in the sticks. Tonight I'm doing a night shoot in Southend, I think location shouldn't be a problem there though Hitting the news stands shortly will be the December issue of Custom Car, inside you’ll find a feature I shot of Callum Tidd’s Lotus Twin Cam powered Ford 100E. We had some fun shooting it, Callum likes to make sure his tyres are warmed up before setting off anywhere. This is the cover to look out for:
OK, looks like Milkcow are moving on to the next issue so I've uploaded the shots from the feature. It always interests me when so see how the art editor has interpreted your work. Obviously a big part of photography is composition so when you see things cropped it can change the shot. I'm not saying I'm always right, it's just interesting. Take the centre spread of the mag..
This was how I sent it in...
As you can see it's has the left side of the doorway chopped off.
Anyhoo, here are some more shots from the shoot, it was shot near to the Ace Cafe back on 2nd May. Cherry was a good laugh, she is a burlesque dancer first and foremost rather than a model.
More in the flickr set here...

There’s nothing cooler than seeing Hot Rods used in anger. Thank fully Nervous Nick, Editor of the NSRA Magazine Street Gasser seems to agree and has used one of my Hot Rod Hayride track photos for the cover of the December Issue. Also inside is a feature that we put together covering the event.
Custom Car have now moved on to the January 2010 issue so I can share some photos from last months feature on Callum Tidd’s Lotus Twin Cam powered Ford 100E. Callum lives locally to me so it way easy to meet up for the shoot. I had seem his awesome car driving around the Streets of Croydon. We caused a bit of a rucus doing the burnout shots as I hadn’t noticed an open warehouse nearby that we promptly filled with smoke and the occupants came stumbling out through the fog, oops! Still those shots were worth it.
I’ll take this opportunity to say a big thanks to Mike Pye who has been very supportive this year, it’s been great to work with him.
Here are some scans of the article, the text is blurred out, you’ll need to buy a back issue to read the article.

Thanks Ben
I still find it a funny old game but I've been enjoying it more this time round. I still find it hard to cope with the time lag after sharing things on the web for so long. I've done better work than the ones above (well I think so anyway) but those won't see the light of day for a few months. I'm very much of the "real time" generation.
