Hi Guys
As a former Kitcar and current 350Z owner I thought I would advertise this on here first. I am a professional photographer and I want to undertake some high end motoring shoots involving some nice cars to build a portfolio so I can get some motoring magazine work in the future. I am based in Bristol and I am looking for 3-4 cars that can attend a photoshoot on a nice day over the coming 1-2 months on a weekend that I can photograph. This can either be a dedicated shoot just for this or i can come along to a meet that you may have organised. Ideally I need a nice setting (track day, park, nice pub, country road etc etc), with some space where I can bring my professional lighting along and get some really great images of your cars.
And what do you get from this, well I will provide each of you who attend with a DVD of the images for your use.
Please email me at james AT james-spencer.net if interested and we can talk more.
cheers
James

It's not exactly a supercar but if you fancy a little plastic Vauxhall then I'd be more than willing to help you take some portfolio shots of my VX220.

Happy for you to do my Ferrari 360, though that probably means I'll need to wash it!

I am indeed free on that date, where abouts are you looking for a location?
A friend of mine who has an R8 (if that is any use?) has a workshop/hanger where he repairs motor gliders with a huge field attached with a runway/strip, this is located not far from Longleat Safari Park (approx 5mins)

The images on your homepage appear stretched here on win7+chrome - not a great advert IMO.

You have one, so doubt you'd be interested in another zed. hehe

It was meant as constrictive criticism - sorry you took it the wrong way.

@lord
Your the first to say this - what image is stretched as i have tried on IE, Firefox and Chrome in win7 and have no issues (although image 2 could be defined as a little stretched I guess!")

IMO pretty much all of them, maybe I'm being overly picky.
e.g.





Unless these people are short, fat and wide there's something wrong, seen from here...
