I was recently approached to shoot a small PR job for Gulf.

It’s not the kind of work I typically take on, but having been a car photographer in what feels like a previous life — and with the job being near Glastonbury, which is quite local to me — I decided I’d be happy to do it.

There wasn’t a detailed brief, just an outline of what they wanted to convey, including the Gulf branding.

Fortunately, one car arrived fully decked out in Gulf’s signature colours, complete with the logo. This was a huge help in creating a variety of images.

Despite some initial concerns about the limited space at the small Somerset garage, and not knowing exactly how many cars would show up, the shoot went very smoothly. This was largely thanks to the team from the Bristol Queen Square Car Club, who were incredibly helpful in positioning the cars and themselves at the angles I needed.
