Feature Car: Jason Mackenzie's 1967 Camaro

8/71-Blown 489ci Big-Block Camaro

Off the road for 19 long years after a catastrophic engine failure on the burnout pad at Kandos, Jason Mackenzie’s brilliant candy green 1967 Chevrolet Camaro makes a stunning return to the scene – bigger and better than ever.

My photo shoot on the car appeared in the April 2024 issue of Street Machine magazine. The attention to detail throughout the entire car made the shoot a great experience and I reckon it came out looking fine in print.

Powered by a astoking 8/71-blown 489ci big-block, it’s a monster machine that sacrifices nothing in the way of aesthetics for horsepower.

Feature Car: Eddie's 2000hp HQ Monaro

Twin-Turbo Big-Block HQ Monaro

Sometimes things are just meant to be. Originally commissioned to photograph Eddie and Younan’s Barra-powered Falcon for the May issue of Street Machine, Eddie casually dropped into conversation the existence of “my other car”.

What exactly WAS that other car? Oh, just a twin-turbo big-block-powered HQ Monaro making over 1700hp and capable of some 2000! 

A quick chat with the team at SM and all of a sudden I had a two-car shoot on my hands – and the result turned out very nicely.

Cover Car - Eddie and Younan's Ford XE Fairmont

1300hp Barra XE Ghia

It’s a very good day to be a car photographer when you get to shoot not one, but two gorgeous and extremely potent street cars in one go. The main cover star in the April 2024 issue of Street Machine was Eddie and Younan’s 1300hp Barra-powered XE Fairmont Ghia.

This car is a bold, modern and vibrant statement on wheels. It’s taken chances on colour choice as well as breaking from the mold with the engine choice. Somehow, it all works really well and the shoot looked great in the front of the magazine.

Check out the gallery for more.

Feature Car: Ashley's Ford XA Falcon

411hp 351ci Clevo XA Falcon

I photographed Ashley’s Ford XA Falcon for the March 2024 issue of Street Machine magazine. Pick up a copy from Thursday to read more! The 411hp 350ci Clevo-powered magenta machine is a beautiful creation and has a great story, too.

Feature Car: Al's Custom Morris Minor

217hp 1330cc Supercharged Morris

Al’s Custom Morris Minor may appear like any beautifully-restored Morris you’ve seen before, perhaps save for the Continental kit on the back. However, it’s actually packing a massive amount of custom work that’s purposely been created to fool all but the most diehard British car fans.

I shot the car for the new issue of Street Machine magazine, which is one sale this week! This little blown 4-banger is amazine. Be sure to pick up a copy and read all about it.

Feature Car: Adam Francica's Ford Fairmont

451ci 825hp Street Weapon

This isn’t the first time Adam Francica’s gorgeous blue Ford Fairmont has been in front of the cameras for Street Machine magazine. It first appeared back in 2007 when Adam was still a teenager.

Plenty has changed since then, with the car undergoing an almost complete rebuild. It now boasts an 825hp naturally-aspirated 451ci Clevor setup and beautiful attention to detail.

I photographed the car in Adam’s then-brand-new shed before any tooling or cabinets had been installed – a rare thing!

The November issue of Street Machine is currently still on sale. Go grab a copy now and read the whole story.

Cover Car: Tim Laidler's HSV SV88

14/71-Blown 540ci HSV SV88

Tim Laidler’s insane HSV SV88 mixes rare HSV genes with stupendous mechanical prowess to forge something truly nutty.

It boasts the same slightly-odd two-tone metallic blue paint as the original, as well as a modified OEM-style trim… but the similarities end there. Gone is the Holden V8, replaced by a monster 540ci big-block, crowned by a mechanical injected 14/71-blown setup that Tim says he can remove to use the car on the street.

The mag is still on sale now, so go grab a copy today and read all about the build!

Feature Car: Steven Thrift's EH Holden

350ci EFI Small-Block EH Streeter

The NSW Central Coast has always been a hot spot for custom cars and Steven Thrift’s EH Holden sedan is a fine example of the quality street cars that lurk in garages all over the coast.

Wearing a super dark Cherry Black paint scheme, coupled with a black interior and largely blacked-out engine bay, the car is almost sinister. Add to that an injected 350ci small-block that is expected to run 10s and it’s a formidable street car, to be sure.

The shoot was featured in the August 2023 issue of Street Machine.
