I contacted Mel (Melv) about posting something on here about getting some cars to photograph and he suggested that i put up a sort of CV and explain who i am, what i am about and what i am looking for so here goes:
A bit about me:
John Rampton
33 Years Old, I work as an IT manager by day and run my own limited company with my business partner doing printing, design and photography.
I'd describe myself as honest, kind fairly easy going and very generous with my time. I like to help others as much as i can and i like to think this helps in both my business and day job.
I've always been into cars, from a very young age i was rarely without a car in my hand or pocket and many times i would be my dad's assistant working on MK1 escorts. After leaving school my dad bought mum a Beetle so naturally the obsession with air cooled VW's and Porsche's followed and at 16 i bought a 1959 Splitscreen van whilst my parents where stationed in Germany and imported it back to the UK.
I had a passing interest in photography when i was younger as well but really got into it in 2004/5 and i started photographing cars and started reading forums about how to build a car rig, this started off my car photography and i spent alot of time and effort self learning but also doing alot of landscape photography.
2007
I went to see a friend off on the Cannonball Run Europe and took a number of photos and was recognised by the organisers who asked to use my photos.
2008
Cannonball Run start these were used for the Cannonball Run DVD Cover and i was credited as well.

2009

It doesn't sound like alot of work until you take into consideration that was all done in my free time whilst holding down a full time job, raising a family and over the past few years running a business on the side as well.
Please see my LinkedIn page for my recommendations from clients including Tonbridge Porsche.

The reason i am contacting people via 911UK and Porsche Club GB Forum is that i have set myself a new goal / challenge and that is to try and photograph every model (well as many as possible at least) of Porsche for the 356 right upto and including the new 991 911 and 981 Boxster I am hoping that this will again challenge my creativity and hopefully teach me some new skills along the way.
I intend to collate all the images at the end into a photobook or at least display them somewhere as a whole so that others can enjoy them. If i do put them into a photobook i will most likely do this via Blurb so that i can make it available for others to buy if they wish but from the outset its not a commercial venture.
If i use your car for a photoshoot i will give you the edited images this is normally a pretty fast turn around as i can't sit on images long i like to get them out on display as quickly as possible.
Here is a link to my photographs on Flickr:

I've organised most into sets so they are easier to view but here are a few that might interest the most.
Thanks,
John.

], with regard to 'displaying them so others can enjoy'.... there was a recent post regarding brightening up Cornbury House & what to put on the walls...... I would think that would be an ideal place & provided 'free' would work in your interest too!
