Hard at work: Matthew Mead shooting Ash White in the Zen Summer Range which will launch next week!
Good friend Val has been busy both in the art world, and commercial. She was @ Zen last weekend shooting a new pice for her series “The Midnight Actuality”. Visit her folio and also the Winter Studios folio and facebook page (which could really do with more likes!).

Multipass!

Hnnnnnng! Amazing.




Old Corollas.

2000GT!

Loved the carbon air vents on this 86 race car.

Cynthia got to jump into it for some shots.

Matt shooting Cynthia. We were lucky enough to get over the barrier with the permission of Lamborghini staff (I did ask nicely!).
Media pass to the Australian International Motor Show – so awesome! Despite being a few halls smaller than usual I had an awesome time! I had gun photographer Matthew Mead with me and I also invited Cynthia Lu to come and play. She’s super fun to work and hang with. Look forward to Matts shots next week some time.

Our convoy. The blat from Zen to the motor show was hilarious naughty fun!

Experienced race car driver Sarah Harley was MC.

Game on!

Couldn’t help myself :)
I was invited to play the upcoming Forza Horizon for Xbox 360 yesterday, extra bonus was that it was held at the Australian International Motor Show and our media passes got us in to check out the entire show before it was open to the public. #winning!
I’ve written up a full review on Zen. Check: http://zengarage.com.au/2012/10/forza-horizon-media-day-aims/
I’ve got boxes full of new stuff to add to the Zen shopping cart/point of sale system. Cant keep up! I’ve just added a whole lot of new illest gear, have more exciting goods (from other brands) to shoot and add over the next few days too. Check the shop for the latest.

Hard Mondays (lol). US Import Model Nikita Esco photoshoot @ Zen Garage today. More behind the scenes pics here.

The Dent Hero.
Dent removal day @ Zen was epic yesterday! The quality of the work done by the technician on the day was otherworldly. His nickname in the industry is ‘Dent God’ – He’s travelled to Europe and the United States to repair hail damaged cars ranging from Audi R8′s, Maybachs, Ferraris etc. The guy had an aura about him, he was like Bruce Lee. Was an absolute privilege to watch him work, nothing better than watching someone who mastered their craft.
Check out all the photos here.

We set up the Zen tent right next to the river and shady trees.

Rob serving a customer who ended up going for a safety orange Zen T!

Stickers + Accessories – the perspex stops everything from blowing away (genius idea Sergio!).

ALL STARS Trophies!

Zomaya! Undoubtedly one of the hottest EVO’s in the world.

Check out the pimp park! So awesome to see SUGA back in action.
Earlier in the week the weather forecast predicted rain for most of the week. It never came. It rained pretty hard on Friday, oh shit… MUD! I’m not religious, but I prayed that it wouldn’t rain!
Was such an awesome day. Perfect weather, perfect location, great people and awesome cars. Sergio, Claudio, Aleks and the ALL STARS team worked their asses off and the feedback has been so positive. Check out more pictures here, and also check some feedback here.

First things first – we set up the projector, cracked a few beers and ordered some Pizza.

100 photos down to 3 was never going to be easy.

So many great shots, was super hard to get from 4 to 3.

Thanks to Ian Baker, we got our dirty hands on this pre-release Option WTAC DVD. So surreal seeing footage shot in Australia on a Japanese DVD (no subtitles!).

Low Life.

Haters Gonna Love This!

The Phoenix.
Having fun with more sticker designs for Zen Garage. :) Last shot is of Phoenix‘s awesome new tattoo. All shots by Aleks.
