Went to Pacific Raceway in Kent 2 days ago and shot an open track day event for 2 of my friends. They’re both part of the APL motorsports crew. Both of the cars are at the extreme ends-597whp sti vs give or take 90-100whp miata. I also met a few guys there. There are a few Audi R8s, 911s, mustangs and vipers, but the one that caught my eye was a NSX with an amazing exhaust note. I also like the black BMW M3 E46 which is running a nice set of motons for suspension and RAC monolites wrapped in nt01s. It’s okay if you don’t understand one bit of what I just said because the pictures explain everything!

I don’t usually post behind the scene shots, mainly because I don’t find them interesting enough to show. However, this is one of my first time shooting cars in an indoor studio. Thanks again Whitebox Studios.
A lot of people asked me how I got the car so shinny, and believe it or not, a white car in a white studio is usually the easiest to shoot, but for me it was a challenge. I didn’t want to do the typical photoshoot. If I light the car pointing the light straight at it, it would look bland and flat. Instead, I made use of the white walls around the studio, and pointing the lights at them so it reflects off a bigger surface area. By doing that, it creates a big soft box effect that allows the car to look more reflective and appealing.

This is my third time shooting for MWDesign. This time they are going for a white on white theme. In contrast of the first z4, this z4 is the direct opposite in colors. My goal of shooting this car was to bring out contrast and reflections, and the results are exactly what I was aiming for. I didn’t want to be too conservative so I light the car like how I light black cars.
Thanks again for Mike and Lewis at MWDesign, and whitebox studio for renting the place to us.

Earlier this summer, I had the privilege to shoot MWdesign’s BMW Z4 once again. This time however, is featured on Performance BMW magazine in europe. I was quite excited for the shoot since this would be my first ever feature on a magazine. 3 and a half full pages and I felt pretty lucky to be shooting for them. Pick up your copy today at your local magazine stand! Ipod/Ipad version here.Performance BMW magazine, December 2010.
Special thanks for Lewis and Mike again from MWdesign, and Performance BMW Magazine editors and staff!

So I have the opportunity to shoot Jeff’s car again. Since last year, the car has undergone some intense track duty, and yet maintains a clean and flush daily driver. With no doubt it’s all go and all show.
EDIT: here’s some info of the owner and the car on

Had the opportunity shooting the MWdesign BMW Z4. Shooting a black car in a not so well lit place was never an easy task, especially when you’re limited in gear. It’s a challenge in the beginning, but it wasn’t that bad after all. In fact it was my best shoot so far. Enjoy! Special thanks to Lewis and Mike!

I haven’t been shooting much because Vancouver’s weather is dipping below the freezing point
However I did get to finish off Jeff’s M3 with a few rig shots before he stores it for the winter.

Shot this M3 the same day. One JDMed M3 with Bride seats. Owner had a set of Advan RS as well but he’s being slightly washed by the euro hype lately and hence the BBS instead.
