We thought we’d do one more test shoot with our new Rig Pro car camera rig before offering it for commercial and paid private shoots. Not much to say here, other than giving a happy shout out to car owner Lawrence for donating his time and his sweet LSX-powered VZ Calais for the afternoon. Cheers!

We recently had the pleasure of photographing this iconic Australian kustom for Cruzin magazine. Rebuilt over four years by John Trunzo, the FJ Holden was originally built by Lance Simmers in the 1960 and won scores of trophies both in car shows and on the drag strip. Today, the car is far beyond what Simmers had done with the car, with flawless burnt orange candy paint covering top and bottom, however the essence of the original car remains.
As always, we bring you six FREE desktop wallpaper version of the images over on our Flickr page. CLICK HERE or on the thumbs below to go get ‘em! Lighting fans can also see our lighting information and EXIF data, although the main exterior shots were all natural light in this instance.
Our photo shoot and feature story on John Trunzo’s FJ coupe is in the latest issue of Cruzin magazine. On the shelves now, grab a copy and read all about this fascinating vehicle from the ’60s heyday of Australian rodding. We’ll bring you more images of the car here very soon!
Just a sneaky peek at a shoot we did recently for a local performance car magazine. The Nissan convertible belongs to northern beaches guy Fane Harman who runs a busy tow service called The Freestyler – hence the stickers down the side. He towed our very own Project XXX back from Victoria safely and for a great price. Stay tuned for more once it’s printed!

Hosking Industries recently acquired one of Rig Pro‘s excellent automotive camera rigs, expanding the range of work the company can do. These are our first results from using the new rig, with the generous assistance of Michael Atkin who donated his time and vehicle for the shoot.
The Rig Pro system proved to be very user-friendly and we’re looking forward to using the rig in various commercial shoots from now on. If you or your business needs automotive photography, contact Hosking Industries today to obtain an obligation-free quote!

Performance Garage magazine launched in early 2012 through Express Publications and Hosking Industries was there. In the ensuing 18 months or so we’ve shot a number of incredible sheds, garages and workshops for the magazine, capturing the places and the people who use them. We thought it was high time we uploaded some select samples for all of you playing at home.
All the images are of cars and places within NSW Australia, primarily Newcastle and Sydney. Workshops like Ziggy’s Hot Rods and Lowe Fabrications are joined by private man caves and garages owned by guys including the talented Dave Hart, John Stevens, Murray Forman and Brian Apap. Be sure to check this image set again in the future when we add more samples from published shoots.

It’s not uncommon to see a group of similar cars being used in a wedding procession. Here in Australia, it’s normal to see a line of Holden Toranas or Walkinshaws carrying bride and groom to the church. Perhaps you’ve noticed the occasional convoy of Harley Davidsons performing similar duties. But have you ever seen a line of matching supercharged Jaguars wearing the same paintwork, wheel choice and boasting roots blowers protruding through the bonnets? Didn’t think so.
That’s exactly why Extreme Action magazine commissioned us to photograph Fat Cat Classics’ trio of fine ladies for issue 99 of the magazine and write up the story on how they came to be. Shot within the confines of Forza Performance’s Sydney workshop, the trio includes the 1971 XJ12 known as Marilyn with its 400ci Chevrolet V8 and 4/71 supercharger; as well as the even more bruising 1963 MK10 known as Elizabeth, running a stout 383ci stroker topped with an 8/71 blower. Talk about getting to your wedding fast!

We had the pleasure of photographing the Zero Engineering Type 5 bobber, bolted together by Action Motorcycles in Sydney in late 2012. Our photos and feature story have been featured in issue 127 of Heavy Duty Magazine, which is on sale right now!
Modelled around the Zero Engineering bike seen in the Iron Man films, this Type 5 is powered by a Harley Davidson twin and 5-speed ‘box, but boasts custom paint and other aesthetic treatments, such as the ‘Iron Man’ short exhaust. Perhaps the best thing about the Zero bikes is that they’re ADR compliant, registered and ready to ride.

Our photo shoot and feature story on Nathan Moses’ cool retro 1950 Harley Davidson appeared in issue 20 of Wild Aussie Choppers (aka Ultimate Choppers). Nathan bought the bike from the USA and shipped it over for less than he could have built it for here. He tells us that, luckily, the bike came as good as, or better than advertised. Nice one!
Boasting a ’49 Springer front end, 84ci stroker twin and enough retro style to win anyone over, the bike enjoys an eight-page spread in the magazine. Be sure to check it out, on-sale now!

Sadly issue 21 of Wild Aussie Choppers (aka Custom Choppers) is the last to come out. On the bright side, it contains our feature story and photo shoot on Stef Niceski’s 1954 Triumph Thunderbird, pictured here! Be sure to check it out, on-sale now.
Shot at the very cool 1346 Venice function centre in Waterloo, NSW Australia, Stef’s Trumpy was built over a period of two years “and a million beers”. The basis of the project was a partially disassembled 1954 Thunderbird that Stefan found in an old shed, complete with a tomato plant growing over it. You’d never know it today.
