K. W. Historics – Lotus Esprit Turbo

Ever wanted to own a Lotus?

This rare example of the famous Lotus Esprit Turbo is currently for sale at K W Historic in Auckland. Ken (from K W Historics) normally fixes and services Lotus and other classic marques, but is selling this on behalf of a customer.

It is a New Zealand new car, one of only 96 built in 1988 for export. With only one owner to date, and a very low 28,000 miles on it is still like new, right down to the original factory fitted stereo. As you can imagine it is fantastic to drive.

The Esprit defined the wedge shaped super car, a shape still around today. Despite being over 20 years old, this one still looks the part, it is a classic design that will never age.

A Collection of Product Photos

Someone recently asked to see some of my product work, and I realised that for various reasons very little of it has found its way onto my own website.

The above photos are from a variety of different industries, everything from industrial machinery, to glass shelves and office chairs to lollies. The images have been used on company websites, in printed marketing material and in national advertising campaigns.

Each presented its own set of challenges, the glass shelf for example needed very precise control of reflections and highlights, while the lollies needed to be lite in such away that they appear to glow.

Good product photography requires creative and technical know how, as well as strong problem solving skills. I am able to bring all of that, along with some custom, portable equipment so I can being my photography to you and your products, where ever they may be.

Taking a great portrait is about more than taking your picture. It is about creating a memory. encapsulating who you are and giving you something to share with the rest of the world.

Throng TV!

Throng TV has been described as being like E!, but with bigger balls.

It stars Ben Kettell, Dayna Bose and Hamish Collman-Ross as the presenters in an extension of the cool TV watching site www.throng.co.nz

Throng.co.nz was created so that Kiwis could have somewhere to discuss local TV, whats showing, whats in production, what’s worth watching and what isn’t. There are several cool blogs, open forums, and content coming both inside, and out side the industry.

Throng TV simply takes that concept a step further with a fortnightly 25 minute show about whats happening in the NZ TV industry.Its entertaining, with great interviews and stories all presented by the beautiful Dayna, hard hitting Hamish and the recently graduated Ben.

You can check out their first episode at www.thong.co.nz/tv and look out for my photos in the opening sequence.

Shooting Justin Flitter

Justin is a bit of a customer service Guru, runs www.justinflitter.com and also works for Zen Desk, a customer service software package.

Among his many other talents he juggles and knows how to have fun when he’s not being a customer service professional. I’m looking forward to shooting him fire juggling next time.

Enjoy the portraits
