I had a shoot booked for this coming Sunday morning, however, it's now been postponed...the problem being that I only have access to the location I was going to use this Sunday. This, coupled with the fact that I'm very eager to shoot this weekend, means I would be willing to offer someone a free shoot.

It will be an early start around 8am near Pangbourne (West Reading).

See my website for examples of what you can expect.

Obviously if the weather turns crap it may have to be called off.

If anyone is interested please let me know either on here, by PM, or by email - mike@mpsphotography.co.uk Including pics of your car if possible.





Mods - please don't see this as advertising, I'm merely offering something FOC

Can I chime in and say Mike has taken some stunning shots of my cars - and a lovely bloke to boot.

If you can - grab the chance.

Thanks guys!

Thanks for the replies I've already had, some nice examples there. I haven't made a decision yet though so more offers of different makes/models/colours etc are welcome. Wouldn't mind a Maserati GT to be honest if anyone's got one? Also, hypercars are always welcome smile

Thanks Mike for Photographing my Ferrari 456 today in some chilly conditions, can't wait to see the final results.

If anyone wants some rig shots of their car Mike is a thoroughly nice chap.

A couple of pictures of Mike at work setting the rig up.......

Complete luddite here - but what's the crack with the scaffolding? Is it some kind of gyro set up that keeps the camera perfectly angled or something?

Many thanks for the compliment.

The car has only done 19k miles and is about to go on sale as i've owned it for 4x years now and fancy somthing else, possibly a 612 Scaglietti.

Feel free to PM me if you would like any more details.

It's a rig for doing motion shots. It keeps the camera and car in a fixed position in relation to each other to ensure sharpness whereas the background will become blurred. Examples to come wink .......and on my website if you're inpatient smile

So is the rig on another car, a chase car if you will, or is it on the RS and then 'shopped out afterwards?

I really am impressed!! I know sod all about photography, but I rarely see car photo's that look like they should, but all of your ones do!
