Well over two million BMW E30s were produced back in the 1980s. But did you know the original 3 Series Touring wasn’t developed by BMW at all? Well, not as such. It was the work of Max Reisbock, a BMW engineer, who found the saloon version wasn’t practical enough for his growing family. So he bought a wrecked 323i and converted the car himself. BMW liked the design so much, a factory version was built with only minimal changes to Max’s original design. Now 30 years on, here to make a lasting impression is the latest G21 BMW 3 Series Touring. Offering sublime handling, intelligent storage solutions, next-level connectivity and a new athletic design language, it opens up the journey to amazing possibilities. - Wiki

Porsche 928 S4 photographed for Peter Vardy Heritage
Photographed for Peter Vardy Heritage’s latest arrival - the Porsche 928 S4 finished in Velvet Red. I decided to keep the shoot quite local to the garage and opted to photograph it around Stockbridge as that provides an excellent backdrop for classic cars.
Equipment used:
Canon 5D Mark IV
Canon 70-200mm L ii USM IS
Canon 50mm 1.2 L
Manfrotto tripod
What Peter Vardy Heritage say about the car:
“Peter Vardy Heritage offer what must be the best Porsche 928 S4 Automatic on sale today. Combining the power, poise and superb handling of a sports car, with refinement, comfort and equipment, the 928 was a car ahead of its time, embracing design, form and function. With 50/50 front/rear weight distribution, the car was beautifully balanced and whilst it weighed more than the difficult-to-handle 911, its more neutral weight balance and higher power output gave it similar performance on the track. Manufactured in 1991, this outstanding example boasts the 4957cc, V8 engine delivering 316BHP,0-62MPH in 6.2 seconds and a Top Speed of 168MPH. It also benefits from the styling updates which gave the car a cleaner, sleeker look. Having covered only 27,550 miles and with 1 Owner from new, this fabulous example is presented in probably the most desirable combination of Velvet Red Metallic with Cream leather interior and claret piping. It comes with a full Porsche and specialist history, two keys, electric sunroof, air conditioning, original Blaupunkt Toronto Radio/Cassette and Sound Package. With a full leather-bound Owners Pack containing Service History, Instruction Manual, Radio Manual and with Spare keys and a Porsche hold all containing Porsche storage cover. This is one of the most sought after models of this iconic ‘yuppie’ car of the 1980s and is superb in every aspect, also benefitting from a service 100 miles ago.”

I was lucky enough to photograph BMWs latest BMW 3 Series model.
Introducing BMW’s most iconic driving machine – the new BMW 3 Series Saloon. With an enhanced layer of intelligence, the BMW 3 Series Saloon connects with drivers like never before. The new Intelligent Personal Assistant, which learns and remembers driver behaviour, seamlessly integrates the journey with everyday life. Combine this with the BMW Live Cockpit Professional’s 12.3" instrument display and 10.25" high-resolution Control Display, which is available as standard only with the M Sport model, and the drive will feel like it simply comes alive. Living up to its reputation as the ultimate driver’s car, this seventh generation model is now more refined, more responsive, and more alive to the driver. - BMW

BMW M2 Long Beach Blue Car Photography
Took our BMW M2 LCI finished in Long Beach Blue up North in Scotland for some automotive photography. The weather was meant to be terrible luckily, it only rained once…. The road to Glencoe is probably one of the best roads I’ve driven on in Scotland - all thanks to my man Sam Mclean (one of the best location scouts ever) who introduced me to it in 2017.

Porsche 911 Carrera 4S automotive photography for Porsche Centre Perth, Scotland.
I photographed this beautiful Approved Used Porsche 911 finished in Blue in Autumn 2018. I loved the interior and exterior colours. I had help from Tomaz who used a blower to give me the effect of leaves blowing - what a guy.

More powerful engine with better efficiency, all-wheel-drive system and an innovative infotainment system with online navigation are the key ingredients that lead to even greater driving pleasure in the all-wheel-drive 911 Carrera 4S. The 2017 911 Carrera 4 features recently developed, powerful and fuel-efficient three-litre twin-turbo flat-six engines that can also be found in the rear-wheel-drive 911 Carrera models. Power distribution to all four wheels is now handled by Porsche Traction Management (PTM) with electro-hydraulic control, adopted from the 911 Turbo. The 911 models feature a sharpened exterior design and the new Porsche Communication Management system with online navigation and glass-covered touchscreen. - Porsche

BMW M Tour Event Photography
As a car photographer, there are few things more exciting than getting the chance to shoot a brand new, high-performance vehicle. And as luck would have it, I recently had the opportunity to do just that as part of the BMW M Tour.
For those who may not be familiar with the BMW M Tour, it's an annual event that showcases the latest and greatest from the legendary M division of BMW. This year's tour started in Glasgow, Scotland and made its way down to London, with stops along the way to allow people to get up close and personal with the cars.
As a fan of BMW and performance cars in general, I was beyond excited to get the opportunity to photograph the M Tour. The moment I heard about it, I knew I had to be a part of it. And as it turned out, I was one of the lucky few photographers chosen to document the tour as it made its way across the UK.
The tour itself was an absolute blast. Every day, we were treated to a different lineup of M division cars, ranging from the latest M3 and M4 to the monstrous M5 and M8. Each car was more impressive than the last, and it was a photographer's dream to have so much high-performance hardware to work with.
But the tour wasn't just about the cars – it was also about the people. Everywhere we went, we were met with enthusiastic crowds of car fans who were eager to get a look at the latest from BMW. It was great to see so many people passionate about cars, and it made the tour that much more special.
All in all, it was an unforgettable experience. From the stunning landscapes of Scotland to the bustling streets of London, the BMW M Tour took us on a journey that I'll never forget. And as a photographer, it was a dream come true to be able to capture so many incredible cars in such beautiful settings.
If you're a car enthusiast, I highly recommend checking out the BMW M Tour if it comes to a city near you. It's a chance to get up close and personal with some of the most impressive cars on the road, and it's an experience you won't forget. And if you can't make it to the tour in person, be sure to check out my photos from the event – I think you'll agree that they do the cars justice.

There's something about the each different body-shape, powerful engines, and advanced technology that captures the imagination and stirs the soul. And as a photographer, I love the challenge of capturing all of these elements in a single image. Whether it's the glint of sunlight on a chrome bumper, the roar of an engine as it accelerates down the track, or the simple beauty of a classic car sitting in a field, there's always something new and exciting to photograph. But more than just being a showcase for my work, I also want Kabizzz to be a place where car enthusiasts can come together and share their love for all things automotive. Whether you're into classic cars, muscle cars, exotics, or just about anything else with wheels, I want this website to be a place where you can find like-minded enthusiasts and engage in some great conversations about cars. Of course, this is just the beginning.
