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 :)
