A-stars


Oli's just finished another shoot for Alpinestars clothing. Alpinestars are well known for clothing the best dressed motocyclists, as well as racers from MotoGP to Formula 1. the shoot was all on location in the south of England, and amazingly there was either too much rain or not enough... (to shoot the wet weather gear!)

Booked

In a slight change of style , one of Oli's shots was chosen for a recent book cover of well known chick-lit author Lucy Dillon. His dog 'Vespa' (there's the bike connection...) did her best folorn look long enough for him to squeeze off a couple of frames, and brilliant stock agency GalleryStock did the rest.

Out with the crazies for a change


Oli's been released from the studio for a bit of fresh air, and a quick reminder from a couple of editorial clients that it can still be fun outside!

New website goes live


Apologies for lack of activity on the news section recently we've been busy building a new site to go with the studio. You can visit 4StarStudios here. It's not only aimed at shooting for editorial and advertising clients but also classic car collectors, and of course it can be rented. The site is designed to run in parallel with Oli's own and links as well to the 4Star car showroom. We hope you like!

Car-toon

The day after a month -long trip to South Africa Oli was in the studio again with Seat Cars. Working with art director Daz Smith, the idea was to merge real a real car with backgrounds straight out of Daz's imagination. The photography and background creation were happening at the same time on opposite sides of the studio, with Oli altering the lighting as needed as the background took shape.

Retro cool

We've just had this car through the studio at 4Star Classics. It's a '73 BMW 3.0 CSL, and apparently a fast appreciating classic. Oli just reckons it's one of the most beautiful cars he's shot. Simple, clean and effortlessly stylish.
