Various shots of mine since the start of this year. Things have been very busy over on my automotive website www.autolifers.com. This is just a selection of my favorite shots from the shoots that I have been able to complete in the first couple of months this year.
Really have neglected my video work but I am feeling revitalized now and hoping to get some work completed over the summer months :)

Event: My first ever published work
Publication: Zan Magazine, a woman’s lifestyle magazine
Story: I shot a Lamborghini Gallardo a few months ago in Houston, TX. This month it appears on the back cover of Zan Magazine as an advert for Lamborghini Club Houston. The picture was chosen, in part, because of the lady jogging in the background. It fits in with the demographic of the magazine. Very proud moment to see my work in print.
Event: Commissioned work for a client
Location: Monaghan/Tyrone border, Ireland
Story: Chris Brady had decided to teach his partner, Emma Saunders, how to drift. This is the first of a number of videos charting how Emma gets on.
Car: Lancer Evolution VII RS
Location: Tyrone, UK
Story: One night in town I spotted this awesome looking VII RS. I had to get shooting it as the Evo is one of my favorite cars, especially the VII. So I got it organised for a shoot the following weekend for my new automotive blog called Autolifers.

Teaser shot
Car: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII RS
Location: Co. Fermanagh, UK
Event: Dublin Group Shoots 5
Location: Portrane, Dublin, Ireland
Story: My first foray into shooting models was an interesting one. I really enjoyed meeting new people and getting an insight into how the photographers, models and make-up artists work together. This video closes and opens a new chapter in my video subject for my portfolio so hopefully the beginning of something great.
Event: McKelvey Bushwhacker Rally 2012
Location: Omagh (Gortin Glen, Lough Braden, Carrickaholten), N. Ireland
Story: Decided to bring my camera along whilst spectating. Fantastic weather for driver and spectators alike. Enjoyed shooting the rally and very much a challenge in comparison to shooting drifting I found.
Event: Japfest, Round 5 of the ProDrift Series
Location: Mondello Park, Kildare, Ireland
Story: My first and only drift event of 2012. It was great to be back after having been away for over 12 months. Loads of familiar faces and people saying welcome back - I felt right at home.

Random Snap
Subject: Race Helmet in the Sun
Story: This Sparco helmet belongs to 2011 FormulaD Champion Dai Yoshihara. Dai recently competed at Mondello Park Ireland at the Prodrift finale. This was my second time to meet my drift hero and as always the guy is gracious and polite.
Car: Veilside R34 Skyline
Location: Tyrone, UK
Story: A good friend of mine Darren McKelvey wanted me to shoot his glorious Veilside R34 Skyline before it goes to its new home. We shot the car near Omagh. This car is absolutely amazing looking and a complete credit to its owner. Not only does it look awesome it sounds out of this world… on idle! On full chat it is truly glorious.

Story: My first car feature video in years! I contacted Brian a long time ago about videoing this car and when I got some new gear I jumped at the chance to shoot the TT.Special thanks to my friends Wayne Douglas for helping out during the shoot.

Car: Mazda MX5
Location: Cork
Story: I shot this MX during a photoshoot of Mike Fitzgerald’s FC RX7 that I will be putting online in the coming weeks. The car belongs to my cousin Dave Foley who helps me out with some graphical work. The car is fitted with a very rare set of Zender wheels. 15” and 8J making it one of only 25 sets in the world - super dope!

Car: Volkswagen Golf MkIV
Location: Oxford Island, Northern Ireland
Story: I shot this MkIV Golf at a ReallyMeanSounds meetup. I love how low the car is due to its air-suspension. The Porsche wheels look awesome on it too. I was actually meant to do a photoshoot of it in March but the right situation never materialized.
