How can we work with you?
We love cars as works of art – endlessly fascinating in ever-changing light. If we could mount each car in plain sight in our houses we would. Our photographs capture that magic and keep it where it can be seen.
Would you want your photograph to record its intricate details, a favourite drive to a beauty spot, a challenging day at the races, or an atmospheric early morning getting prepped for a journey?
Let’s chat about the memories you’d like to preserve and the options for keeping them fresh – framed prints, wall art, a book? When we’ve worked out the detail with you, we’ll spend a day or days with you getting that shot.
You won’t have to buy any of our photos but our goal is to make you want to buy all of them and we’ll help you make them look fantastic wherever you keep them.
Ideas
Home Shoots
We’ll come to your home and photograph your car (or your collection of cars) against suitable backgrounds in your garage, outside your house or in a suitable location close to where you live.
Portraits
We can photograph you and your family in or around your classic car in a series of shots that will look fantastic on your living room wall or in a frame on your mantelpiece or on your desk at work.
Location shots
Tell us what you’re looking for and we will find a suitable location! Windy, windy roads, clifftops, lighthouses, castles – whatever takes your fancy; we’ll make all the arrangements and meet you there!
Action shots
Want some action photographs of you driving your car? Chose your favourite road or let us find you somewhere suitably striking. We’ll meet you there and provide you with a series of panning shots – wheel blur, background “bokeh” (out of focus highlights!) and some elbow action will show that the car is in motion!
Photo Days
Why not bring your classic car to one of our “pop up” photo shoots? We choose fabulous locations and will photograph you and your car against stunning backdrops. Make it a day to remember as you mingle with our other guests and enjoy some AC Photo’s hospitality – it’s worth attending just for our “Sussex Picnic”, finessed over several decades of attending events at… well, that fantastic place in Sussex!
Events
Planning a club meeting, a treasure hunt or even a track day and want to record it for posterity or give your guests a stunning memento of the day? We’ll come along and photograph the event and can provide souvenir photographs or even one of our magical souvenir boxes of delight…
Event coverage
Hire us to cover your motorsports event – or your participation in a motorsports event – and we’ll load up our cars and record the event with a stunning series of photographs – of your guests, of your cars and of the road or track action. We can also upload photographs to your FaceBook or Instagram pages “as we go”, giving your friends and family live coverage as the event unfolds. Then choose from one of our souvenir packages: photographs, photograph books, boxes of delight or even an entire feature film…
We’re happy to cover single day events, weekend events or even longer – both at home or abroad. Doing the Mille Miglia in your 3.8 Litre Bentley? You can take us along as your very own media crew
Track Days
Organising or attending a track day? Invite us along and we’ll provide you with a box of memories, to record the event from arrival, through race preparation and on to track action. Choose from one of our souvenir packs to make it an event to remember.

What’s the typical cost?
Our rates are based on a fee of £500 per day or £800 if two of us are needed. Our fee covers attendance and for post-production work on the photos. Wall art, event boxes and books are priced separately.
But Emmachizzit? (How much is it?)
We appreciate that doesn’t really answer the question. The cost will depend on where you want us to go and what you want us to photograph, but, for guidance, it is likely to be close to the figures set out in this table:
| Duration | Cost (£) | Minimum shots |
|---|---|---|
| 2 Hour Shoot | £150 | 8 |
| 4 Hour Shoot | £275 | 15 |
| 6 Hour Shoot | £400 | 30 |
The price includes a shoot with Andrew or Charles and post-shoot processing, together with high quality JPEG images, which will be made available for you to download. The number of fully-edited photographs you are likely to receive obviously depends on the length of the session and the minimum figures in the table are given for your guidance.
We will take a great many more photographs than the number shown in the table; in addition to the minimum number of edited images, we will send you thumbnails of unprocessed images and will offer to process additional images for an appropriate cost.
In addition to JPEGs, we can also provide framed, mounted or simple prints in a variety sizes. Framed prints can be ordered from any page showing a photo - get in touch with us if you'd like a special piece of wall art.
