A sneak peek from The Drivers Collection show at Cromford Mills last Saturday of photos that nobody else will have captured! Lots of arrival photos for the show cars as I sat there from 2pm waiting for them to arrive and I even went on to the public car park to get the visitors too! 🚗

Plenty more photos to come but it's my birthday and I'm off work so ya know... gimme a break, 😉😅.

Once all photos are edited, they will be uploaded and shared in a gallery allowing access to download them so give me a follow and keep your eyes peeled! 👀

I fancied posting something for the first time in ages, and truth be told... I've actually been doing a fair bit of photography work recently that nobody particularly knows about! But I think I'm at a point where I am ready to get back with some photography work with a little re design while juggling my full-time job too for myself, who cares if I only get 1 like on social media! Plus, I have another little side hustle that will be more known soon too!

For now though, here is just a beautiful kitchen fitted by Duffield Kitchens that I had the pleasure of photographing.... and there are many more to come! I have to say a huge thank you to Duffield Kitchens too because I absolutely LOVE property photography which I would not have known without these guys! It's super easy to photograph such a nice subject to the point where some of these kitchens and photos have been featured on other pages with LOTS of followers!

The weekend just gone I actually (somehow) got away from managing the beer festival at work to attend and photograph at this absolutely brilliant car event hosted by . Even better... I'm finally getting around to editing some of them! 😂.

There are more photos to come but I just wanted to post something considering I have been photographing away with no social activity in a long time, 🫣.

I'm a van driver!

So in November, I got written off in the middle of a 3 car sandwich on thr M1... I then decided that instead of getting another relatively quick sporty car that I never utilised, I'd have a bit of a lifestyle change and get a slow sporty looking van instead all the way from Edinburgh! Since buying it, I absolutely LOVE it!

Big plans ahead for me and the van.. I'm in the early process of converting it (which may be documented a little bit and on that note, anybody with any tips please give me a message!!) to be able to sleep in it and prolong my little random trips away to make sure I don't just ALWAYS think about my day job all the time... But more importantly, maybe I'll even do a little bit of photography from it wherever I am... 😏😉.

If you see me around, give me a wave! I might actually be out and about doing photos and could stop to get your car photos... This will make more sense soon! 🤭.

BTW, The first photo is also a basic photo of when I bought it - I'm trying not to be so 'professional' all the time because social media hates that apparently....

Hi there... Remember me? 👋

I've decided to allow myself some personal life and Photography time more regularly and have been doing a fair few things behind the scenes... Hopefully in the near future I'll be out and about making some money from Photography again! So... How do we do Social Media these days?...... 🤣

In the mean time, me and .96 went to Snowdonia last month for her birthday after the CRAZY Christmas period we both face in our regular jobs to escape. We found an amazing little AirBnB called 'The Pigsty' on Instagram from profile and were so glad to book it! It's an incredible little place with an amazing view, friendly dogs that come on walks with you, it's own sauna AND a cinema style projector with surround sound... Absolutely amazing and just what was needed to escape! In hindsight, probably should have got more photos of the property.... 😅. It was good to et my old crappy Fujifilm travel camera with a 50mm lens out again though instead of the heavy professional Sony!

!! FOR SALE !!

Last month you could have my job, this month you can have my car because the time has come for me to reluctantly sell my pride and joy on to somebody else...

All information can be found at www.michaellarkin.co.uk/m140i

But as a basic F.Y.I, I'm at a point in my life where I've had my fun in Cornwall, I've travelled a little bit, I've found my perfect job and I've had the pleasure of owning a car I never thought I would have in a million years. The next thing for me is a nice house and a few holidays. That, and with my new job being a little further away meaning I now drive a more sensible diesel on the daily drives makes it a little bit daft having a house deposit sat on the driveway in the form of a car that should absolutely be out there being driven more than I get too now. So reluctantly, that is why I am selling.

The car basic overview:
- BMW M140i 3.0l 8 gear Auto with Pro Nav.
- 0-60pmh in 4.5 seconds.
- Just under 52000 miles currently.
- Double res delete.
- Only filled with 99 octane fuel.
- I've been called a granny driver multiple times since having this car so it has not been ragged.
- Body modifications but no engine mods to my knowledge.
- Regularly cleaned and polished with professional grade products and recently applied ceramic coating.

For any more information, I recommend looking on the webpage as I am currently really busy and bad at replying! If you are seriously interested, get in touch!

One final thing... if you help me sell my car I'll throw you £50! So that's easy money for the sake of a few social media shares! 😉.

// AMG GLA pt.1

So here are a few of my favourite images from the impromptu shoot with the AMG GLA that I've been telling you about! Unfortunately, this beauty has now been sold BUT replaced by a stunning brand new BMW 240i. I'll let you decide if that is an upgrade or not but all I know is I certainly want to push to photograph that one too!
By the way... there are more photos to come, at a second location. 😉.

🌿 The Plant Pod Workshop 🌿

Some of you may have seen my story only 2 days ago photographing for The Plant Pod once again at her very first workshop! As I know how important time efficiency can be for small businesses to play on their hype, I am so happy to say I have completed and sent almost 400 photos today from this workshop AND still managed to work 12 hours at another job since Saturday's workshop!

I'm pleased to say this first workshop from The Plant Pod went down a storm with such lovely feedback from the people who attended too! On a personal level, I am SO pleased and proud of Donna (Founder of The Plant Pod) for getting to this stage with her own business, getting up in front of people to do workshops, completing the first one successfully and continuing to chase something that makes her smile like she does in this photo I captured! Well done Donna!

II 🏍 Alport MX 🏍 II

Some slightly older photos from mid way through last year when I wasn't posting anything and people (including myself) forgot I was a photographer with a life... 😅. I guess you could say I fell in to the trap of giving my all to my job at the time. Things are clearer now though!
But yes, here are a selected amount of images from a practice day up at Alport MX in which I had no access to any areas other than the normal spectator spots this time round. I think I'd love to get back up there soon though and do this properly! 😉. In fact, I'd love to just get to a few more events now that the weather should be getting better! Any ideas on upcoming events? I already have a few booked in that I'm excited about! 😏.

II 🌿 THE PLANT POD 🌿 II

I spent this morning photographing The Plant Pod's FIRST workshop so I felt it would only be right to post a gallery from the sneak peak I have previously posted. Funnily enough, the original sneak peak was from the shoot that was quickly done to advertise today's workshop!
I actually have 2 or 3 more things from The Plant Pod to post too now so I'm super excited to share them with you soon! Remember.... give them a follow too!
