It isn’t every day that you see a Datsun on the front cover of Street Machine magazine… but it also isn’t very day that you see a Datsun ute running an LSA V8, braced 9in rear end, huge tubs and race-inspired trim!
It’s on sale now, so go grab a copy and support print!
Matthew turned a tattered old VW Fridolin postal van into one of the country’s coolest custom buses. Read all about its mad journey from single-seat, Spartan truck into the show-stopping, regular-cruising, stroker-powered machine it is today in the latest issue of VWMA – on sale now.
There’s no doubt that putting a salmon-coloured VR Commodore on the front cover of Street Machine’s August 2025 issue was a bold choice! But personally, I think – together with the matching background treatment – it looks terrific and is sure to catch people’s eye on the newsstands this month.
It goes on sale today and also includes my photoshoot on the latest truck to emerge from the image Vehicle Manufacturing workshop (also pictured on the cover).

Pro Flo Performance has been on a massive role of late. I think I’ve had the pleasure of photographing some five or more world-beating builds of theirs in just the last 12 months. One of the craziest is this HT Monaro belonging to Martin Pecotich.
Top to bottom, tip to stern, this Monaro is perhaps one of the primary cars to grab the attention of this jaded old brain over the last handful of years. It’s a testament to the vision of both the owner and the creators of the car and if you can find a copy of the June 2025 issue of Street Machine, it’s definitely worth having a read of the whole story.
Go grab yourself a copy of the April 2025 issue of Street Machine now from your local newsagent, supermarket or servo and read all about Frank’s insane Falcon ute build.
I photographed ORSM – the green Holden LJ torana, pictured here – for the cover of the March 2025 issue of Street Machine magazine. The car has been around for a long time, having been formerly piloted down drag strips around the country by the late Sam Fenech.
The family has returned the car to street duties with a full rebuild and it is looking smoother than ever. Grab a copy and read the full story now!
Who doesn’t love a good skid shot?! I know the team at Street Machine sure do. And from the feedback I’ve seen online, many readers do, too.
I got to shoot Dom Luci’s Holden for the cover of Street Machine’s January 2025 issue. The skid shot was the last thing we did during the photo shoot. It took mere seconds to finish off the sticky rubber at the back and the smoke was instant.
Believe it or not, this was actually the only viable frame I got from the skid. I had set the car up to make best use of the sun, and set up a couple of flashes around the car to fill in some shadow and light up the smoke. The car had other ideas. It immediately kicked off to the side, Dom went out of view – hidden behind the bower – and the flashes were no longer in their optimum positions.
After that, the car just disappeared behind a thick cloud of smoke, noever to be seen again. The air was quite still that afternoon and there was no moving it. Despite that, this shot still ticked almost all the boxes and the cover came out great!
Be sure to pick up a copy and read the whole story now!
I think this might be the first rusty machine that Street Machine has ever run on the front cover… and what a beast it is! With over 600 cubic-inches of nitrous-fed grunt under its cowl-scooped bonnet.

I snagged some page space in the April issue of Street Machine with three feature shoots and some event coverage from the Taildraggers show. I’ll bring galleries from the photo shoots here very soon! Check back.
I got to end the year with a bang, shooting my second front cover in a row for Street Machine magazine. Not yet seen by the public at the time, the car was unveiled at Summernats this month.
Stay tuned for some more images from the shoot soon.
