Street Machines are often an extension of an owner’s personality and they come in all shapes, sizes and colours (well, maybe except the trendy builds like VK Blue Meanies and the seemingly ageless Falcon GT clones).
Ian Wood’s 1964 EH van is a great example of a personality shining brightly. Sure, it’s got a modern powertrain… but look at the aesthetic treatment. Gorgeous HOK Emperor orange metallic paint mixed with a cream leather trim may not seem so out of the ordinary. But dig a little deeper and you’ll find the Mexican-style airbrushing, sugar skull buttoned seats and western-style embossing/carving in the leather.
Either way, the shoot was pretty extensive, given the addition of the chandeliers (installed just for the shoot on aluminium trussing from Ian’s company) and orange lighting out back. But I think you’ll agree that the finished images were worth the effort.
This shoot appeared in the December 2022 issue of Street Machine.
As classic machinery continues to get older and scarcer, it has been interesting to see the different makes and models that were once neglected start to get some attention.
In my 20+ years in the car magazine business, I’ve never once seen an early ’70s Mercury Comet get modded. Have you? Phil Kerjean was commissioned to build this brilliant machine for Matt Hourigan of Canberra and he’s done an incredible job.
A ProCharged 347ci Windsor powers the little beastie that rides on a set of proper Simmons and boasts detail wherever you look. My shoot was featured in the December issue of Street Machine.
2022 didn’t exactly end the way I would have liked, with nerve damage as a result of surgery to my right arm. It meant I couldn’t use a mouse, play guitar or really do anything with my right hand.
Shortly before that happened though, I got to shoot Ray Elia’s latest creation – this gorgeous ode to the mighty VN Group A SS.
Powered by a blown and injected LS2, the VN is detailed to the hilt, no matter where you look. You’d be forgiven for thinking that all this detail would preclude Ray from driving the car, but even before the Nats this January, you could find Ray driving the car all over the place!
My shoot was featured on the front cover of the December issue of Street Machine.
Some followers may remember my last shoot with Liam for a single he dropped last year.
I got a call from Liam seeking new promo photos for a project he and partner Gabi Blissett have recorded, called Wicker Suite. We convened at a lovely wedding venue in Paterson, NSW and got a stack of great images for them to choose from.
I also got some fresh shots of Liam for another upcoming single, which I’ll share soon, once the single drops!
If you need new promo shots for your project, drop me a message to discuss.
