Clint Clemens specialises in HDR/CGI car photography and advertising. It was around 1980 when got the idea to attach a camera to a car. After numerous failed attempts using steadycams, and other devices from the video world, he and Craig Hunter of Safari Filmworks in California invented his patented camera mount using SpeedRail. He also invented a system that would allow him to drive the car while looking at a video screen that showed his a real-time view through his viewfinder and remotely trigger the camera to take the shot at exactly the precise time.

Harniman Photography – Award winning Automotive Photographer and Lifestyle/People Photographer.
“I really can’t remember when wheeled objects with or without engines weren’t part of my life.
As a kid I spent all my spare time tinkering with engines, pulling things apart and putting them back together, not always successfully! My first taste of life on the road was in an old hearse travelling around Europe. I’ve loved to travel ever since – good news for a location photographer!
When I was 16, I badgered the parents for a motorbike for my birthday, instead they bought me a camera. At the time I was gutted, but as it turned out the present became my vocation. And I’ve never looked back”. Nigel Harniman
