A fantastic rear shot of this iconic car. The lighting is really great and the camera shoot position in relation to the car has been chosen well to give the whole scene some added drama. Through personal taste I would have liked to have seen little more light into the rear light clusters on the right and left just to pick up some of their colour and texture coming out of the darkness, but again this is personal taste. A great piece of lighting.

Thank you for the accolades, Tim. I am Sarel van Staden, a commercial and automotive photographer in South Africa. I have been innovating new and better lighting techniques for some time now, to eliminate the usual lighting challenges of cars. For this image I used a custom made hand-held light wand which I diffuse to create soft light. NIKON D750, 50mm f1,4.
