Kombis, Vespa, ice-cream and everything vintage. A little different from our usual stuff but applying the same techniques of capturing posed candid shots, we had much fun photographing this beautiful small family of four during a sunset. All props are provided by the owners.

To have your vintage photo fix, we have our friends from Scoopy’s & Cream and partners to bring it to life. Just quote “Scoopy’s” for special photography rates.

Here is the shoot summary.

With our partners in crime – Carousell Motors, we play shoot host to another “Pizzas ‘n Cars” session with a small but close knitted Volkswagen Passat Car Club. Perched on the rooftop of a multi storey carpark with a stunning backdrop overlooking the East Coast Park, everyone was largely undeterred by storm clouds looming in the horizon.

We have put together a short film featuring Vaune Phan and the tale of her little “from riding to driving” adventure. With the courtesy car from Liberty Boutique Auto, we took a day to film the various footages at three separate locations, highlighting Toyota’s latest hot property, the space-age looking crossover called the C-HR (Coupe High Rider), and Vaune Phan, a prominent lady biker to share her thoughts about the car.

From her own words, “Having been a bike enthusiast for the past years now, I thought it’d be interesting to share my perspectives and personal opinions on four-wheelers too. Now it seems that Hybrid cars are on the rise, as they’re not only environmental friendly, but they offer superb financial savings from having efficient fuel consumption too.”

You can enjoy the full review of the car on her blog.

Here is the video summary.

Some rolling shots during the filming set.

Introducing the first of many collaborations with Carousell Motors, we hosted a 50-car strong ///Modsters car club comprising both German marques BMW and Volkswagen to a food first, photography second kind of meet at Marina Promenade.

The event took us three hours to get every single car shot at our dedicated photobooth, and then executing an ambitious “///MOD” group formation representing the ///Modsters car club. An entirely successful maiden shoot meet for us all because of the planning and logistical competency of the club’s admin team.

A shoot of the unlikeliest car combo but a celebration of two very close friends. Both of them overachievers in their respective field of expertise. The only things in common, the matte wraps, the nonsensical banter, and of course the instigation to “poison” each other with car improvement ideas.

Abi is the proud owner of his matte grey Honda Civic, and Ian, the proud owner of his matte black Mercedes Benz C200 which he refers to as his batmobile. With a bit of luck, we were able to spend an hour shooting at this exclusive location until the security shooed us off. Definitely satisfied with the outcome, judging at how sleek the paint works of both cars showed up from the bounced lights.

Here is the shoot summary.

*Photographer’s note: The previous description of Type R for this Honda is wrong. We apologise for the error.

Sixteen years on the road and this Porsche Carrera 4S engine still ticks like clockwork. The interior is so meticulously re-trimmed and well detailed, it puts even one year old cars to shame. And the paintwork, absolutely flawless. This ultra rare ‎3.6L flat 6 water-cooled Porsche is superbly maintained by one of the industry’s best detailers and mechanics and we spare no effort to cover all angles.

This is Europe’s 2015 ‘Car of the Year’ and the new Passat, now in it’s 8th generation over a span of 4 decades, has emerged as the winner by a clear margin. The R-Line packs more oomph to the already breathtaking proportions of the vehicle and spots a refreshingly handsome front grille, a sporty bumper, chrome side sill extensions and a pair of chrome-plated trapezoid tail pipe trims, to name a few.

Thanks to its innovative lightweight design, the new Passat is also about 85kg lighter than the previous model and the one we had on hand is powered by a ~216bhp TSI engine under its bonnet. All of the drive systems are new aboard and paddle shifters come standard. To add icing to the cake, the interior has been redesigned to something no less than avant-garde. Car nuts will be pleasantly surprised that the cockpit is very driver-oriented and ride data is also presented on a super cool active info digital display. The infotainment satisfies the geeks in us as the whole App-Connect suite is now built-in and encompasses the popular Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and also MirrorLink.

The mean white machines were gathered here at the Float but the star for the morning was Novitec Rosso Ferrari 458 Italia. Posing alongside was industry veteran model Vanessa who has also posed in some of our previous shoots.

Our client this time, Ankit, has engaged us to help him create a series of shots for his personal portfolio. And with kind courtesy of Ferrari owner James who is ever so gracious to loan his ride to us, this shoot was able to be materialised.

We picked on the chromosomes pun and named this duo “The Chrome-somes” because these two rides donning flashy anodized colours have huge racing DNAs in their lineage. To be specific, the Ducati Panigale 899 in chrome red spray versus the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 in chrome pink wrap. A superbike with incredible performance designed to dominate both track and street versus a Libertywalk + Novitec kitted supercar with a performance of epic proportions.

Some numbers to note and compare. The AWD Aventador comes with a 6.5L V12 engine and produces 700 horses at 8000 rpm and 509 pound-feet of torque at 5500 rpm, enabling it to do the century run in 2.9 seconds at an electronically limited top speed of 350 km/h. It delivers a power to weight ratio of 2.25 kg per horse as compared to the superbike’s 1.3 kg per horse, almost doubling it. The Panigale’s Superquadro two-cylinder engine on the other hand makes 148 horses at over 10,000 rpm and produces 73 pound-feet of torque. Hypothetically, the 899 will jump off the line faster than the Aventador but it will not be able to dominate for long. Someday, we might just propose this race. Someday.
