Porsche-engined, Singer-inspired Volkswagen Scirocco

I'm a Volkswagen/Audi enthusiast and have been from an early age. Attending the shows back home in the UK along with picking up my copy of PVW mag each month were some of the reasons I got into photography in the first place. Now to see my own images printed in the very magazine that helped start it all feels fantastic!

We were fortunate enough to locate an empty, soon-to-be car wash for the shoot which was exactly the kind of look Eurowise (who built the car) and I both wanted.

Full image set light-painted using a Litepanels Astra LED panel and shot on a Nikon D800 with a 17-35mm f/2.8 lens.

Great use of color, and the space. This is one of those rare times almost full desaturation on all but the subject is really effective. Nice work.

Thanks, Adam!!

Stunning set, Dominic!

Thanks, Adair! Glad you like them dude!

sick! very clean Dom!

My man <3

That’s one squeaky clean Scirocco ! The lighting is nicely balanced as well, just the right amount in all the right places, anymore and the background would’ve been too distracting. Speaking of which, did you spend time doing a bit of cleaning on the ground or was it all done in post ? 😁

Thanks, Adrian! I appreciate that!

The ground was mostly left untouched. Aside from the fact there would have been a LOT of clean up had I decided to, I liked the way it looked and felt that the gritty and dirty appearance worked well for the environment in this instance :)

Great images! The mood you've created is spot on.

Thanks, Jamie! Pleased you think so! :)
