Wallpapers as promised :) The “winter package” idea came up when I was looking for photos. Shot a lot of white cars in 2011 haha.

1920×1200. Enjoy!

More Subby love

Before I continue any further, R.I.P. Steve Jobs. A great innovator and visionary. He will be remembered as the tech legend.

Okay now onto the happier things. Through out the summer, I’ve done a few shoots here and there, and this is one of them I would love to share. A track prepped STI with nothing short of amazing. It’s not the most powerful out there, and certainly not the lowest, but the car stands out by itself because of how clean the car is with combination of unique parts. Not something we would normally see in Vancouver, B.C.

The setting of the shot was quite a coincidence. The weather was perfect, the time was plenty, and the subject was perfect. I know to most people, shooting a black car is hard, but for me, to make a white car stand out in photos are far more challenging than any other color.

Thanks Barry! It was real fun shooting the car! Canibeat feature right here!

It’s not the equipment.

Sometimes I’m still amazed of just how much a little camera inside a phone can do. Excuse me with my coffee obsession ;)

Shot with Iphone 3Gs, processed with Instagram.

This summer is just swarmed with shoots for weddings and cars for me. So busy I don’t even have time to update my blog. Since I’m on my break editing photos, here’s one set of photos I shot for Vossen Wheels. Owner was a great guy to work with. Thank you for Jav and staffs at Vossen Wheels for this opportunity! Loved how some of these shots came out!

Wheels are VVS082 – Black Machined – F: 20×9 / R: 20×10.5

Lexus LF-A – words cannot describe

rikaro — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 23:02:24 +0000

You guys wouldn’t know how excited I was when I received a message to shoot this car. It’s one of the cars that I’m really crazy about (and if you guys know me, I’m not always the biggest fan when it comes to exotics because I can’t afford them haha). Like the Toyota 2000 gt, the Lexus LF-A is an iconic piece of engineering masterpiece. Unfortunately I couldn’t get the sound in the pics. This car sounds amazing and nothing even comes close to it.

June 11, 11 PCA Track Day

rikaro — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 07:24:47 +0000

I originally didn’t want to bother uploading these but I am getting a lot of requests. These shots are from the June 11, 2011 PCA (Porsche Club America) high performance driving event. I didn’t get to drive because my car isn’t ready so I end up there taking pictures. I didn’t get every single car but I did get the ones I like :P

If you happen to know the owner of any of these cars, feel free to let them know!

Adon’s 2011 G35 Photoshoot

rikaro — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 17:39:17 +0000

Had the chance to shoot Adon’s G35 again. The first shoot was done back in Aug of 2009. Adon showed up this time with some crazy stanced g35 so for me, I know I have to do something that would look better than last time. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t giving us any chances and we’ve postponed the shoot numerous times. I have to say I have quite a few photos I like from the shoot. Framing and composition were quite limited because the background in around the area were quite busy. Regardless the shots came out better than I wanted it to be so I’m a happy man :) These photos will also appear on Canibeat and DPE wheels. Once again, thanks Adon for the amazing car I get to shoot!
