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: Commissioned work for a client

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.

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.

Car: Mazda MX5, Miata, Eunos
Location: Larne, N. Ireland
Story: I photographed this Mazda at a local car show in Northern Ireland early last year. Probably one of my first photos taken with my DSLR. I love the low styling and the Cali number plate is one of those nice touches.
Event: Drift Allstars Wembley - Final Round of the Championship
Location: London, UK
Story: My 2nd event in the UK and my first at Drift Allstars. Great event in a great location. Really enjoyed it overall with many familiar faces there at the event. My fav driver Dai Yoshihara was there in a borrowed car and it was great to watch him compete. James Deane won the event and the championship :)

Location: Irwindale, CA
Story: This photo was taken on Friday night of the event. I was lucky to get such a cool photo.

The driver, Kenneth Moen, loved the photo and actually bought it from me! AWESOME!
