Welcome

 

Welcome to my web site, home to retro Automotive Fashion and Event Photography. Pour yourself a root beer and get comfortable. You may not guess from my photos but I'm based in the UK. My photographic mission is to capture the atmosphere of Kustom Kulture, the people, the events and the cars.

 

I take inspiration lots of places, including from other photographers and I collect photography monographs. Some of my favorites are David Bailey, Gary Winogrand, Annie Leibowitz, Harry Benson, Richard Heeps and Gregory Crewdson. I also take inspiration from films, I’ve done a couple of Tarrantino inspired shoots and enjoy the work of David Lynch and Alfred Hitchcock. I don’t really take inspiration from any other car photographers which I hope brings a different take to my work. I’m interested in the relationship that people have with cars and how that manifests itself. When I shoot a model with a car there has to be a connection, a reason that she is there and interacting with the car, that’s why they are dressed from the same period as the car. I think this makes a difference to the models being empowered in the photos, they are the driver or the mechanic not just a girl draped over the car.

 

Testimonials

 

“There are a lot of people out there who call themselves photographers but it takes a certain something to make a great photographer. A keen eye for detail, a sense of composition, and the ability to connect with his or her subject matter. Nick Grant has all of these.” MILKCOW MAGAZINE

 

“The buzz cut wearing, 57 Chevy driving cameraman really does get what’s going on. His pictures truely have a vintage feel to them and everyone of his subject matters just pops right off the page.”

VINTAGE HOT ROD ASSOCIATION

 

“As a collection of great images that sum up events like the Hot Rod Hayride, this is right on the money, and you'll love it for that”
