Title: How do i get into 4wd action mag?
Post by: Rod Camping on July 12, 2012, 08:30:20 AM: I have read that a few of you guys and gals out there in swagger land have had photo shoots done of your rigs, sand even a few have made it onto the DVD's.

How do I get my rig on there?

I am planning a trip into the Gulf, Arnhamland and the Kimberly next year August to mid September and I wouldlike to get my tourer out there, in case we go commericial andget a film deal.

Cheers Rod....

All the staff are members so you should be able to get hold of someone pretty quickly.
Cheers Dave

I posted my half lap of Australia up on prado point and was asked if some photos could be used but apparently i ended up on the cutting room floor.

Your rig does not have to be super modified but if you can get some good shots and a good editorial to go with it your on your way.

Sorry but i doubt you will get any sort of sponsorship deal unless they have seen previous examples of your work first
