World Time Attack 2014 - Sydney Motorsport Park - Australia

Well World Time Attack is sadly and somewhat suddenly all over for another year.. and I'm sure we're already suffering withdrawals. I know I am!
To help us through this now tough time, I have chosen to create a post with my images to whet your appetite for just a little longer.
Please enjoy some of my images from this, my favourite event on the calendar year.
It just keeps getting better.


The crazy storm weather on the day of the official launch sure made for an awesome, yet fitting back drop.


Nik "Spartan" Kalis' Evo ever so greatfuly sponsored by Grinders coffee! Helping Nik along to consistent 1.33s.


Nik we can't thank you enough for getting us all through the intense weekend that is World Time Attack! The worlds best coffee. In between races, race suit still on.. car being frantically worked on after some gearbox issues.. Nik.. making sure everyone is catered for.. the man, the legend :). Then back out to race.. making in to the shootout at the end of the event!



Words cannot express how awesome it was and how excited we were to see George and his own Evo TWO cutting some hot laps. Can't wait to see this again! 




Mr BADASS Naidoo heading out to score a time for a place on the podium!


Lt. Dan in winning form.


Chris Tiqui attacking again with his new LOUDER set up :)


Trevan's first #WTAC in his self funded Meek Automotive prepped Evo 6 - Congrats on placing 12th outright! Major achievement.




The almighty Mazda 767B.. what a sight.. and more so.. what a sound!



Really enjoyed watching the Red Bull plane pilot's skills and stunts.


Midday Mayhem drift demo's always spectacular.


Mad Mike doing his thing


Young Alex Kelsey's homemade Peugeot gymkhana machine! Watching Alex throw this thing around was a major highlight.





Finding the limit and then giving it a nudge.


GTR shootout. Race-face ready to rumble as the sun sets on the World's biggest Time Attack event.


What an exciting end to the race to be the winner! Congratulations to Garth Walden and the Royal Purple team. 1.24.84 for the win over Under Suzuki 1.24.88 for 2nd place. Right down to the wire!

New Location, Nathan's Evo 5

Had a great end to the Easter long weekend with a mini shoot at a new location we discovered recently, west of Sydney.

It was a perfect afternoon weather wise and a pretty quiet location as we expected. The locals were so polite omg! Will definitely be back.

Quite happy with the results. The worlds most popular Evo! The 2nd image went global and ended up with over 40,000 likes!

The owner of the car is about to receive his birthday gift, a 45x30 INCH canvas print of said 2nd image here, ordered from my website by his awesome girlfriend! Can't wait to see how it came out, on such a large scale!

April 2012 Marriage Proposal shoot - Pete & Amber

As I am planning to photograph my first wedding next year I thought I would re visit some photos I took 1 year ago for Marriage Proposal shoot by our gorgeous Sydney Harbour.. beginning with our 4.30am arrival! All the way from Penrith... But so worth it!

So 4.30am arrival, whilst my assistant and partner Dave was helping Peter get organised we also managed to snap some gorgeous shots of one of our pride and joys as Sydney siders, The Sydney Opera House. Also a very special place for Pete and Amber and a quay inclusion requested for their photos.


We did our best to remain hidden but their weren't any good hiding places. I think we managed initially :). The sun was rising right next to the Opera House so securing a good position and hiding for the proposal was difficult.


The end result after spending time with the couple was great. Very happy all round. Congratulations to the now very happy couple Mr & Mrs Peter Affleck, who were married in Denver Colorado USA, January 2013. 

A big thanks for the opportunity and pleasure to be a part of your very special occasion. Such a great couple to photograph, lots of fun was had.

2012 Australian Pikes Peak Entrant photoshoot

A few images from an exclusive Photoshoot I was honoured to have the pleasure of conducting for Australia's 2012 Pikes Peak entrant and dear friends and drivers of said vehicle +jeff denmeade and Catherine Marie-Denmeade.

Shot on location at Wakefield Park Raceway back in June 2012.

We were put up for the night buy the awesome two-some at track side accommodation which in itself was exciting! trudged through torrential rain and flash flooding to get there.

We were all up up before the sounds of sparrows flatulating! For a pre event private track access shoot. Then continued shooting throughout the Circuit Club event for the day and also again with the track to ourselves for a sun down shoot.

Introduction

Cars & photography are my life. I love nothing more than combining the two.
I was given a camera as a birthday present at a very young age and have been clicking away madly ever since.
Great success in high school in Photography with film! Continued on and off as the years went by.. but much more seriously in 2010 after signing up for my first Digital Photography course.
After the 1st course I continued learning everything I could online and photographing at as many events as possible, until signing up for my next course Certificate IV start 2012. I have finished the first semester with great success and look forward to continuing on as well as.
I've always had an interest in digital of many facets and am really enjoying the many graphic design components of this course.
I have since expanded my photography to include people; portraits and special occassions.
Most of my work is available for viewing on facebook.com/ChequeredFlagPhotography.. available to all weather or not you are on facebook.
I also have a website http://chequeredflagphotography.com.au.
