Every now and then you get that call…Bruce is putting 6 of his personal cars up for auction. 69 Shelby GT500, 69 Charger, 67 Corvette, 54 Corvette, 57 Chevy Nomad Wagon, 69 Firebird. Not a bad little collection. I shot the cars in the morning at Santa Monica Airport and then we took the Shelby and 67 Vette up to his house. You always hear stories about actors, you’ve seen their movies and you wonder the night before a shoot what they’d really be like. Bruce was great. We parked the cars just outside his back door on the grass overlooking the valley. We introduced ourselves and talked about the shots I wanted to do. So we took a couple test frames, Bruce liked them, Â he put on a black t shirt and we started shooting. As I looked through the lens I laughed to myself, I was waiting for something to happen, like helicopters and explosions. Needless to say that didn’t happen but I got some great shots. He gave me the mean look, the sly smile look, and the casual introspective look, the images look great. I lit them with one softbox just to give the light some direction, and used a small silk to soften the hard light that was slipping thru. I just wish we had more time it was fun creating some cool car images, with someone who really likes cars!
