#ishootcars an ongoing iPhone / Instagram project

Ever since I can remember i’ve always been fascinated with the design of cars. I just love the aesthetics of them. The way the look, the emotion they give off, the differences in them, what they say by their looks.

Of course the older cars are more interesting to look at and from a design perspective. To be honest, I really couldn’t care less about the engineering and what’s under the bonnet or how they work. I just love looking at them.

I’ve been photographing classic cars in the same way since 2014 on my phone and posting them to Instagram and calling it #ishootcars. With a bit of time on my hands, I thought i’d have a quick search of my photos on my phone and put together a collection of them. (I don’t think this is all of them, but it is most).

I tend to shoot the cars for this makeshift project when i’m out on my bike or driving around. I’ve been known to pull over and run after a car if it’s really special. Or chase them down in traffic. There are a few rules I set my self for the project, like always shooting from the side. Try to get low down. Usually a car before 1990. Sometimes a car after 1990 if it’s really special or personal to me. Always on my phone.

So there you have it, 6 years of shooting cars and a morning going through my phone.

Hope you’re all keeping safe and sane.

Much love

Adam
