From hybrids and electric cars to 4x4s and classic vehicles, there’s nothing in the genre that London car photographer Dean Wright hasn’t seen before. We love how different his style is from what’s currently in vogue; rather than moody shadows, he uses a well recovered and retouched style that balanced both highlights and shadows for even lighting. Yet, his rich contrast and eye for reflections and lines give his work a captivating quality that’s unmistakably his. Dean also regularly uses interior shots and lifestyle settings to add to the sense of a “car story” on display!

Vanguard's Superb SUPREME 53F Waterproof Photographers Case
A perfect case for long trips away or when you need to take more than a handful of lenses or equipment on a job. Vanguard's Supreme 53F (Foam) Carrying Case looks and feels great and is extremely well built, infact it's virtually indestructible! Although I didn't put it's strength to the test, the hard polypropylene case is water proof up to 5 meters and airtight making it suitable for really extreme conditions. With handles on no less than 3 sides making it easy to load in and out of the boot always ensuring you have a safe grip. There is a retractable tow handle and two sturdy wheels which makes it ideal to take long distances across the city and on the tube, which you will need as it's heavy when fully furnished. Six quick-release, easy-opening latches keep the case firmly and securley locked.
Vanguard Supreme 53F with Promotion Motorsport Silverstone
Inside houses 2 thick layers of foam affording you two layers of gear. There is loads of room inside and even just one of the layers allows for around 10 lenses and a body. The foam is in hexagon form which I found strange at first but this is great for holding your precious glass in place. This also lets you swap out for a slightly smaller or larger lens meaning that you have more options when packing for a job. They also have the Supreme 53D a soft divider inside option for organising gear that doubles up as a stand-alone bag, nice.

I am really happy with the Supreme 53 and think it will come with me on most jobs. For smaller shoots I may well look into some of the Vanguard Supreme smaller options.

Boxer lands a powerful right hook during boxing round
Charity Fight Night, Boxing event at the iconic Grand Connaught Rooms, London
It was great to cover an evening of Boxing at the Grand Connaught Rooms in London. A black tie event in a grand venue full of chandlers mirror and white marble. The charity event for Ellenor Lions Hospice was organised by Habara Marketing & Events and sponsored by FS Contracting Ltd, a design & new build contractor for residential and commercial projects based out of London.
With eleven bouts scheduled the fighting went on into the late hours and it was action packed to say the least. From Junior to heavy weight it was a great show. The boxers hailed from several Boxing clubs including Nemesis ABC, Skills, Moneyfields, ST. Marys, Hockley, Bexhill and the Army.
The next fight night is scheduled for June 2017 at The Grosvenor in London. To get involved call Habara Marketing & Events on 0208 295 3399 or email Philippa.

Maserati Ghibli parked up in the City of London
Five days with the Maserati Ghibli
The lovely people at AMT vehicle rental gave me a Maserati Ghibli to shoot from their new Brentford operation in London and boy it was real fun.
Maserati Ghibli parked on the road to the Cotswolds
The Ghibli feels at home in the hustle and bustle of urban traffic but the real fun starts when we leave the city for the open roads. Our destination is the Cotswolds my first car shoot in this part of the country. A couple of hours drive from London and we are surrounded by lush countryside.
Medieval Manor House - Upper Tysoe via Airbnb
The Maserati is as comfortable as it is fun to drive and we could have easily drove all night long. We arrive at our destination. WOW, great find on Airbnb, wonderful Manor House in Upper Tyson on the edge of the Cotswolds, this is our base and we call home for the next 3 days.
Maserati Ghibli at sunset - Cotswolds
Up at 4am to a glorious sunset. No matter where you turn, driving around the winding roads of the Cotswolds there is always some great vista to park up in front of. The heavy rain the night before has washed a lot of clay onto the road so quite a few of trips to the car wash.
Maserati Ghibli - Maze field, Upper Tyson, Cotswolds
Maserati Ghibli - Canary Wharf
The Maserati certainly has style and is a head turner, being that little bit different from the mainstream. It certaienly looks at home in this urban sprawling environment.
