My Mille Miglia Story

 

 

I'm delighted to say that my pictorial Mille Miglia story has just been published in the latest edition of  the Journal of Automotive Photography a bi-annual peridical published by www.bl;ueflagpress.co.uk 

The story adopts my "behind the scenes" approach to the Mille Miglia identifying some of the challenges, opportunities, and tricks involved in capturing this wonderful event

A variety of Mille Miglia images can be seen via my Instagram account (just click on the link on my home page) alternatively should you be interested in obtaining a copy of the Journal then please get in touch with me in the usual ways

In the meantime here are a few photgraphs from the Journal

Mille Miglia 2023

Well, the entry window for 2023 is now closed and with over 600 entries for 400 places some people are going to be very disappointed

There are so many variables involved in the application process that even the most seasoned drivers will be scratching their heads. If you are new to the Mille Miglia I will be posting a simple although not infallible guide to entry later in the year, so in the meantime click on the link below and enjoy the ride......volume up !!

British Motor Museum

 

 

Late last October I was invited to the British Motor Museum by the owner of a specific Jaguar XK 120. He wanted to re-unite the three XK 120's that took part in the 1953 RAC Rally and were captured together on the cover of the 1953 commerative CORGI box set celebrating the famous rally. It would be the first time these three cars had been side by side since 1953

So, on a rather overcast morning we all met at Gaydon to re-create the scene together with some images of the owners car on site

Royal Automobile Club Exhibition

Early last year I was invited by the prestigious Royal Automobile Club to exhibit my experience of 12 years photographing the Mille Miglia. Well, that was quite a task, trying to edit and choose images that catpured such a varied event, but eventually 25 images were chosen. The exhibition exceeded my expectations, selling many images, recieving a number of related commissions and a huge range of positive feed back

The images can be seen at www.royalautomobileclub.co.uk and then click on The Mille Miglia....."only in italy" 

Images are still available if you contact me direct on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
