Motoring Literary & Art Festival - The Wing Silverstone 2nd - 3rd December 2023

Come and join me on the 2nd & 3rd December at the inaugural Motoring Literary & Art Festival at The Wing, Silverstone Circuit where I will be exhibiting and selling my Artist's Proofs and limited edition framed photographs of some of the finest classic & supercars in the world. Ideal gifts for automotive lovers just in time for Christmas!

There will be a host of other artists, from painters to sculptors displaying their creations too. Personalities include Lord Hesketh, Professor Peter Stevens, Lee McKenzie, John Watson, Karun Chandhok, Andy Palmer, Ian Callum CBE, Jackie Oliver, Sir John Egan and some 40 more. Authors include Richard Heseltine, James Page, Philip Porter, Martin Port, Matthew Field and Crispian Besley.

Under one £27m roof at The Wing at Silverstone, participants will be entertained, informed, amused and maybe shocked by a wonderful array of speakers with plenty of opportunities for book signings and chats with motoring heroes.

Collaboration with Casmin Group - Luxury Bespoke Automotive Manufacturing

Barnett, Nick and Ian from Casmin Group

During this week I have been working with Ian Smith, Nick Campolucci and Barnett Fletcher creating images for the launch of their new business and website Casmin Group. Enabling luxury and bespoke manufacturing of automobiles and motorbikes to be matched with discerning clients, giving a personal service from start to finish.

This collaboration stems from our mutual passion for beautiful cars and motorcycles. It’s exciting times as I get to be in the front seat to witness the manufacture of bespoke one-off vehicles, visually capturing the process from concept to manufacture to delivery – to create provenance within tailor-made coffee table books.

Ian said “this is an excellent addition to our portfolio of luxury lifestyle services that we offer our customers. Stella’s service helps us deliver a tailored and personal service from start to finish. Choosing and managing the purchase of a customer’s next vehicle is only the beginning of what we believe should be a long and rewarding relationship. Over the years we have been very impressed with the quality of Stella’s work and believe this is a perfect fit with the services and philosophy available at Casmin Group.”

1966 Jaguar Series 1 E Type Fixed Head Coupe

It was a cold January morning on the Thames but that didn’t deter us from a photoshoot of the three founders together with a stunning 1966 Jaguar Series 1 E Type Fixed Head Coupe that has been in Ian’s family since new – a perfect addition to the shoot! Thanks to the duck’s geese and swans for arriving right on cue!

Showcasing 'Stella' Lifestyle Photography for 2019

Happy New Year, I hope the Christmas break was a good one and you are now well and truly settled in 2019 with plans and goals in place for a successful year.

This is a blog I have been meaning to write for a while but didn’t quite find the right time, it’s about my marketing book that I produced last summer, that has proved to be a vital tool to showcase my photography and all that I can offer my discerning customers.

The book, printed in the UK, features automotive events, commissions and photographs from private classic and supercar collections over the years - it turned out to be a lengthy process, selecting the images, and working with the printers, designer and copywriter to get the best results as quality and the fine details are so important to me.

This book is unlike others that I have encountered, it is printed both sides on photographic paper, I chose to go for a lustre finish and even more different is the way the pages meet in the middle to lay flat, it’s pretty unique because it uses a transparent plastic ‘clip’ so the registration of the two pages align perfectly side by side, which is impressive.

The size of each page is A3 so when it’s fully open it certainly does have the wow factor. Working with a designer meant I could think about how best to show each page spread and the power of visual imagery to promote my craft at it’s very best and the service I can offer you, the customer.

To add the finishing touches my words were used to tell the story of each event, including commissions from Silverstone Classic, Salon Privé and the Goodwood Revival.

If you have an up and coming project in the pipeline or are looking for a photographer with over 30 years experience working with people, cars and places to create new and exciting imagery for you personally, your company or a brand you represent then please do get in touch. I would love the opportunity to introduce myself, discuss your ideas and present the book in person, either at your place of work or my Surrey based studio.

Thank you

Stella
