Charlie got in touch asking for some application photos to get him into some shows this year, of course, I was more than happy to oblige.
Read MoreGeorge's Nissan 350z
My first shoot of 2017 and it's a double whammy. Both a set of photos taken at multiple locations AND a video, what a treat for your eyes! I met George through Collide earlier last year and even before this I'd seen pictures of his 350z. I got in touch to shoot the car and learned that it would be up for sale very soon, so seized the opportunity before it went. These are the results!

Sleeklens
I was approached by SleekLens a few weeks a go when they asked if I would be interested in trying out one of their products in return for an honest review. I've never been asked to do that before so admittedly I was excited, but before I accepted I did some research.

Ultimate Stance
The final show of the season; Ultimate Stance ended it all where it first kicked off at Telford International Centre at the start of the year. This was the first time I attended, but after seeing Ultimate Dubs earlier on, I sort of knew what to expect.

Edition 38 2016
A few highlights from my trip to Edition 38 this year. Unfortunately Saturday was nothing but miserable weather, it didn't seem to dampen anyone's spirit too much, but my camera time was limited. So these are my favourites, you can see the full set here - http://www.jamietakes.photos/edition-38

Gear Talk #1
I've had a few people ask me questions recently about what gear I use, what do I take to shows etc, so thought it was time I did a quick Bank Holiday post about my go-to-gear for show coverage.

Read MoreModified Nationals 2016
Although ModNats was back in May, I held off posting a load of my photos because I wanted to make this video first. And finally, a couple of months later, it's here.
It features a few of the Collide Car Club guys along with a some others. A massive thank you to Ben for the use of his amazing RED EPIC, it's these shots that make the video, without a doubt. Don't forget to like, share, subscribe and spread the word, please enjoy the video.

Players Classic '16
Another weekend another car show, this time; Players Classic. This was the first time I've been to a Players event as my first time at Goodwood, I loved it. The venue is just incredible, from the lawns and the paddocks, housing a multitude of cars, to the noises coming from the surrounding circuit and the vintage planes taking off. There was a lot going on, but at the same time it all just felt so relaxed, so organised and so classy.

Summer Vibes
A couple of shots from a chilled out picnic on Stamford Meadows featuring Camden Hells Lager and a superb looking Ford F100 pickup. All shot on my Canon 5D Mk1 (still going strong) and the niftyfifty f1.4
Read MoreBrighton Tattoo Convention 2016
Last weekend I took my first trip down to Brighton for the Tattoo Convention.
Alongside the convention we also spent some time looking around Brighton and taking in all it had to offer. I made a small video which you can watch below, along with a few photographs you can see in the gallery that follows.
Early Edition 2016
This was my first time attending Early Edition and I wasn't disappointed. After Ultimate Dubs kicked off the show season, this was a great follow up and I'm now even more amped up for this year's Edition 38.

Mid-Week-Meets
Every week you'll find the guys from Collide meeting up in various places. Last week I joined one of the quieter meetings for a catch up and to get a few shots. There are so many people joining the club now we're always meeting new people, and with show season starting up again I'm looking forward to what this year has in store for the guys.
Click the images below for more.

Gymkhana Grid 2015
It's been 3 years since I went to a Gymkhana event and in that time there have been a few new names and cars in the game. Most notably Ken Blocks Ford Mustang and his most recent addition, the Ford Escort released earlier this month. Needless to say I was excited to see these in the flesh and despite all the rain it was worth it.

Adz and his Mk4 Golf
After spotting Adz and his Golf around town and at a couple of the local Collide meets I finally got chance to meet him and set up a shoot. His bright blue wheels stood out from a mile off and are bound to get him noticed wherever he goes, so it made sense to focus on this in the photos.

Roadtrip to Cornwall: Part 1
When I was in school I used to visit my family in Cornwall every single summer. I'd go to all the beaches and sea-side towns, climb rocks, swim in the sea and explore the rock-pools. As I finished school and life progressed the summer visits stopped, and after years and years of neglect it was finally time to make the trip back.

USC 2015
Ultimate Street Car 2015 was amazing this year, I'm so glad I got to go and can't thank the guys (and girls) from Collide enough who invited me down to Santa Pod for the weekend. Having never been to a car show for longer than a day, let alone camped there I was excited and quickly bought everything I might need to survive over the 3 days.

The Last Golden Leaf
We love our woodland hikes over here in the UK. There's nothing quite like a quiet walk through the trees, keeping your eyes peeled for a peek at the elusive wildlife and of course, getting a few photos along the way. I recently took advantage of the recent good weather and visited Wakerely Woods a few days a go.

Quattro
Whilst helping my friends over at Last Man Standing shoot a scene for their latest music video we came across some very interesting cars. This gorgeous A5 quattro will star in the video (along with my own VW making a quick cameo) and I was able to get a few quick shots before we totally ran out of sunlight.
