MULGARI MINI EDITORIAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Owner, Jason Dodd Photography, covering Automotive, Commercial, Editorial photography across UK and Europe.
Mulgari have been big in the Mini scene for a few years now and the cars have a following on the Performance Mini scene, but very rarely do you get the chance to shoot two of them together, on this occasion they are owned by Fred and Sally Dyer so being in the same family made it worthy of a twin photo shoot.
Performance Mini magazine asked me to touch base with the couple to set up the double Mini car photography shoot, with the Mulgari set up based on handling and performance Thruxton motor sport circuit was the logical choice on a cold but dry Saturday morning.
The two cars differ spec wise but both have upgraded ECU calibration, brakes and also subtle exterior styling, Sally's white Icon 02 has the logo on the brake callipers and air intake, plus inside on the John Cooper Works seats. I photographed each car separately around the pit lane and paddock areas, we then paired the two together for some static and panning shots, always good to have a contrast with the dark and lighter colours. The two cars will be in Performance Mini soon, keep an eye out for the issue soon.
