A one-metre print
The brief
One picture, big enough for a wall
The owner had waited years for this car and wanted a single image that showed its shape, not its badges or its details.
We chose a view from directly above, on a pale floor, so the coupé reads like a drawing and the print stays calm on a wall.
The daylight studio, cleared and lit before the car arrived.
How we worked
Planned like a portrait
01
Clear the floor
The studio floor was painted and the car rolled in on its own wheels the evening before.
02
Shoot from above
A camera on a rig above the car, with large windows giving soft, even light.
03
Print and frame
One image, printed a metre wide on cotton paper and framed for the garage wall.
“It is the only picture of the car I have ever liked. It looks like the drawing I had in my head.”
