Ariel Atom (1)

This joiner is of an Ariel Atom, a stunning piece of automotive engineering.
This was a friends car, his pride and joy, he wanted it captured in a unique way, so naturally he came to me.

When shooting this car I had the idea to shoot it out of its 'natural habitat', it would have been all too easy to shoot it on a track or somewhere 'predictable', I wanted to show this car in a different light, in a different habitat.

The location for this shoot was an area in the county of Surrey, in the south of the UK, in an area of outstanding natural beauty called Boxhill in the North Downs (at the top of a road called 'Zig-Zag Lane'), a place I'd often go cycling through early in the morning.
I persuaded my friend with the car to get up very early one morning in the hope we'd have the desired low cloud cover and I'm glad to say we got the shot.
An unexpected aspect of this shot is the feeling of flying, which is ironic because the Ariel Atom is a fast car, a very fast car, and with it's low seating position and the fact there's no body work (which allows you to see the road where normally they'd be bodywork), sometimes when driving it you can feel like you're flying!....almost.

The Unseen collaborator

Every Joiner begins in silence, then finds its structure through its unseen collaborator—music. The tempo sets the pace of assembly; melodies suggest movement and balance. Music shapes the emotional architecture of each piece, guiding where energy builds and where calm returns. To truly experience a Joiner, it should be viewed while listening to the music that shaped it. Only then does the visual rhythm align with the heartbeat, the beat, it was born from.

Each Joiner is created but not yet printed.

This is intentional. Printing every piece in advance would compromise the freedom each collector deserves. By commissioning a Joiner at the moment of purchase, you decide its scale and presence—tailored precisely to your space and vision. Every print is then produced to museum-grade archival standards, ensuring permanence, precision, and exclusivity.
