End of the Name ClutchkickPhoto

So the name clutchkickphoto is dead. My photography is not however I just decided to stop using that name because I dont drift so having clutchkick is stupid. The name is now simply MattMagnino Photograhy

Another Level Car Show

Last Saturday was the annual Another Level Car show in Palatine which is a show that takes place throughout a parking garage and it s a pretty sick show. I was there running the JDMChicago booth selling shirts and stickers. Overall pretty dope turnout! 

Rigged

First ever rig shot, Thanks Jeremy for letting me use his rig and helping me out with. Needs some work but in due time I'll have my own just gotta start building and then we will see what happens

RPM Event, Soldier Field Chicago IL July 10th

 This was a pretty crazy event that attracted thousands of people into the import scene and I was fortunate enough to have a Media Pass thorugh www.jdmchicago.com and was pretty cool being up close to the center stage when DJ Pauly D was spinning, even though hes a tool and a half. But heres an overview shot and more can be found at www.jdmchicago.com and www.flickr.com/mattmagnino

Ek Progress

So here is the EK a few weeks back. Some changes have been made since then but I haven't had time to shoot it since. 

Stef's M3 4th of July

What a weekend! A little late I know but I took these on the way to ITW for their 4th party and thought they came out cool wasnt really expecting anything but oh well

Obama Memorial Day Speech

So... I was given a pretty sweet opportunity on memorial day last week. I got a call from The Times Weekly and they asked me to cover Obama's speech at the Lincoln Memorial Cemetery in Elwood, IL. I for sure jumped on it and had to go through mad security to get that close to him. It was one hell of an opportunity especially being as young as i am. The shots made the front cover so I'm super happy.

Iowa RSX

Ginash and I shot this RSX a few weeks back for a JDMChicago feature and was pretty happy with the shots.

Nik's HellaFlush Scion TC

Shot this early this morning in the meat packing district of Chicago, This thing has a dirty stance with -6 degress of negative camber in the rear and -4 in the front. First time ever having cop trouble lady was a complete bitch but whatever, we weren't doing any harm to anyone or anything. So enjoy the pics

C and C is welcome

Ek and 350z

I went out to take some pics of my ek hatch and my friends red 350z who previously owned that black one i shot late last year. There was another car with us; a fully built integra but was stolen the next morning and I don't feel that he wants me to post pictures of the car or even edit them. These are the only ones I was happy with so this is what I have. Enjoy

Caribbean Cruise

So last week over spring break I went on a caribbean cruise down to St. Thomas, St. John, Puerto Rico, and Nassau. Overall it went pretty well, def a new experience that i would do again heres some of the shots i took.

Alessandra

Here's Alessandra, the Mya Vortex I recently purchased and a lot of Starbuzz shisha to compliment her. She's amazing and well worth it

Civic Hatch

So last friday I picked up this 2000 black honda civic dx hatchback and it is awesome! the exterior is a little dinged up but the interior and motor are sound it was one hell of a deal so i jumped on it. Big plans for it and one day maybe itll look like this!

World of Wheels 2010

So this past weekend was the annual World of Wheels car show which was held at the Rosemont Center this year instead of the traditional McCormick place which was a bit of a surprise. The show def had a big turnout and it was cool to see a lot of tuners out there considering there is no HIN this year. Europrojektz and Fizz had some pretty sick cars there so enjoy.

Sunday nights are boring...

Were bored and went to shoot Mike's Evo again wasnt looking for anything special but was happy with one of them at least, first time using flash and tripod

Artists for Haiti

I know this is kind of old but I heard this the day the Olympics started and I thought for those who haven't heard it, they definitely should because it is for a good cause and your donations will help so listen and buy this off iTunes all proceeds go to Haiti

We are the World, Artists for Haiti

Finally Entered the Prestige

Ok, so anyone who knows me knows my obsession with Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. Finally after playing it pretty much everyday (or damn close) I entered into the 2nd Prestige so now I have to start all over again but I'm definitely moving through this one way faster than before, Level 30 in one week so this could go by faster than I thought, plus I found a few new favorite guns. So hit me up on Xbox Live at hkarmy34

Mike's Evo in an Alley

This was shot a few weeks ago but have been super busy with stuff so forgot to put it up here, but this was also shot in downtown Joliet and the first time ever using my Canon 430exII Speedlite so I still need some work but it's definitely a start! Enjoy
