I had the pleasure of waking up at 4am the other day and heading over to @gst_lotus_m3t house to collect these two stunning cars. An unlikely pair you may think, but believe it or not they have a lot more in common than you think.
As in, they are both absolute track weapons. The Exige 430 cup which is closer to what I’m used too. felt like an extremely light Emira and the sound of the v6 even more raw than I’m used to.
Then the M3 touring, which strangely I found harder to get in an out of. A clear sign that this car has more to offer than just road driving, an absolute beast of a car and the noises it was making were intoxicating to the point where I felt like I need one in my garage.
Getting up early was 100% worth it and the sunrise didn’t let us down. Changing constantly, the colours of the light cycled through the entire spectrum.
I have plenty more images to share over the coming weeks from this shoot. But here’s the 1st batch.
Thanks to @gst_lotus_m3t for letting me drive and shoot these awesome cars.

Ok so I couldn’t wait to tomorrow to post this set of @allanrignall s angry M2 performance. Covered in carbon and with one of the craziest exhausts I’ve ever seen. This is one hell of a car. I really enjoyed shooting this thanks for coming out Allan.

@gst_lotus_m3t M3 Competition Touring. Was up at 4am to shoot this. It was worth it. From blue hour to golden hour all the way through to sunrise. Such an enjoyable shoot.

Ok so it’s been a while since I posted on here. The reason for this is I’ve been busy shooting for others. I’ve traveled far and wide shooting for @typelotus magazine and now more recently with @analogue_auto . These images I have t been able to share yet but one day I will and there are so many of them that I’m very proud of.
But the other day I was @goodwoodmotorcircuit shooting for analogue automotive and when we were done I stayed for an hour or two and grabbed some shots of the @officialevomagazine track day.
So finally I have something to share with you all again.

@gst_lotus_m3t M3 Comp touring. An absolute beast of a car and great fun to shoot.

More action from the foggy heights of Beachy head with the @newroads.co gang this time a gorgeous @lotuscars Exige 410 sport owned by @harryellisuk
Giving me Tron vibes as it lights cut through the atmosphere.

A @newroads.co powered road trip yesterday took us down to the south coast where we found ourselves quite literally in a cloud. @thegrandfour bought his @mclarenauto 600lt along and it looked stunning in the fog.

What makes the perfect drive? I reckon this was pretty close.
A few more shots from a day spent with the @newroads.co crew and the lovely @mr_jr_on_cars 1979 @porsche 911SC.

It was a cold wet and very gloomy start to the day. And at 4am I didn’t feel like leaving the warmth of my house. I just didn’t think we would get any decent light that day. But as we rolled into Beachy Head through the darkness, from the horizon, the sky ignited like a fire rising up from the depths and this gorgeous 1979 @porsche 911SC in metallic silver looked great under the grey blue sky. Thanks to @mr_jr_on_cars for inviting me along and the @newroads.co crew for making such a great day.
More to come from this shoot in future posts. Stay tuned.

A few of my favourite shots from the past year. Happy new year to you all. Thank you to all that follow me it’s a small bunch but I really appreciate it. I’m aiming for the next level in 2026 and will share my journey as we go. Posts have slowed down towards the end of 2025 but it’s a sign of being busy. Which is a good thing. Have a great night tonight. And see you all next year!

My 1st stab at light painting! I’m really happy with the results. And from what I’ve learnt I know I can do better! Two final images consisting of between 5 and 8 separate exposures.
The train passing in the background of the 1st image was an added bonus and showed up the trees which were otherwise engulfed by darkness.
Also side note - music from @arc_raiders possibly the best game and game soundtrack I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing. Any raiders out there want to team up and hit topside send me a DM. And more importantly anyone who fancies seeing their car lit like this also drop me a DM. There are slots available in November.

Just before a great drive out with the @newroads.co crew I stopped and grabbed some quick foggy shots. It was so dense with lots of evaporation, which made for some proper moody shots.
