Happy New Year! May you have an amazing 2024 🥳🫶

Here’s a quick recap of some of the shoots that I had the pleasure of capturing during 2023. This isn’t all of them unfortunately as it would have been too many too include… And there was also too many people to tag 😅 Huge thank you to everyone that I have had the pleasure of collaborating with in 2023! I’m so grateful for all the amazing opportunities and for all of the friendships that have grown this year! Looking forward to continuing to collaborate and create with as many people as I can in 2024!

I couldn’t tag everyone in the images, so here’s the remaining owners:

Abarth 124 Spider
Mustang GTs58 M4 Comp Convertible

Breaking down the edit on this shot of .folly ‘s epic 720S 🤩 With this shot I felt like the yellows of the things in the background were distracting from the car, so I decided to completely remove the saturation in the ‘colour mixer’ tool. You can see that in the settings on slide 3. Hope it all helps!

Breaking down the edit on this shot of .folly ‘s epic 720S 🤩 Such a privilege to shoot this thing and the location/weather really came together for this one as well 😊 I’ve also been playing around with masking a little bit so here’s a couple of new techniques. One linear gradient mask acts as “the light side” and another opposing linear gradient acts as “the dark side”. Thought it looked pretty cool 🤓😬
