I’ve never made a secret of this, but I do love a good saloon. Where my friends own and lust after quick coupes and hatches, I’ll always prefer a good more door. It’s quite likely a family thing. My grandfather and my father were always saloon men and that preference has continued for another generation…
Late last year, I was commissioned by Audi Ireland to shoot some PR shots of the the face-lifted A6, now with the added suffix of Ultra. With the car in high demand, my time was limited to a couple of days including collection & return from Dublin. With the weather staying consistently in the middle of the scale for a change, I was able to maximise shooting time. Even the night shots were unseasonably mild, but those are only fond memories at this stage…
I did get the time to try out some techniques which were new to me, and a couple of ideas that I’ve waited a while to try when all the requested shots were in the proverbial bag. For me, this is when I both learn and enjoy photography the most. Experiment, shoot, learn, repeat.
As for the car? Well, it’s very good indeed. But you probably already knew that.
