The Project
The objective is to create images that are unique in their presentation and design reflecting the quality and passion that went into building Guy's master pieces. The composition and colour balance of each image has been carefully planned and photographed by Guy, David and Peter to create a new range within Guy's already stunning collection. We will include a 'thumbnail' image of each photographic print as we complete them. Only ten personally signed pictures will be released from each of the planned ten individual shots .

David and Peter arrive with Guy at the studio ready for the shoot. The Ferrari F355 GTS was kindly supplied by
www.foskers.com. Foskers often support our work and we are grateful for their support.
Guy positions each bust of 'Grace Jones' carefully to achieve the composition he wants for the shot.
David Places a protective tissue on the Ferrari for Guy to place the Grace statues on.
It is very important to create the correct lighting conditions in order to enhance the translucent colour's of the three statues. To achieve this we used one Bowen's back light and point lights at the back of each of the statue heads.
Our aim was to photograph 'Blow' with the head lights shining through a thin layer of smoke. To acheive this we had to take approximately six images and then combine them using software. In addition, the final image was then re-created on the computer using over twently layers.
We used a smoke machine to add that little extra to the image of 'Blow' but had to vacate the studio while it cleared!
We were very grateful to Simon Furlonger Sports Cars in Ashford for his help in using his showrooms for our images of 2 Pak & Madonna.
