One of the great things about being a creative person and working in the industry that I work in is when your work inspires other creative and talented people who’s work you love and admire. There are times when this brings about opportunities to collaborate with those people on projects that both inspire and benefit each other. 
One such opportunity arose when Scott Dorman from Smalldog Imageworks wrote to tell me how much he liked the first Bonneville posts I had made (as he is very much a fan of classic cars and bikes.) This led to me asking him if he would be interested in working on producing a few more of these images with me as I am creating a whole series from this shoot. He jumped at the chance and the result was the first 3 images here in this post. 
What is interesting about all these images is none of these vehicles were actually in motion when I shot them. I shot them and many other pieces with the final images in mind, but the actual scene when shooting was much more random with many layers of people and cars in the background. When this happens and I will often have the final composition in my mind but knowing that there is no way to get it in one shot in camera. Instead I will work to make sure I have all the parts at the correct angles and perspectives with many variations and options I need to make it a reality and build it later in post. I incorporate a lot of this into my everyday work but Scott takes this talent and multiplies it times 10 and was perfect choice to bring these images into reality. He’s a real pro when it comes to picking the right angles so the perspectives work as well as people, body positions, and adding motion, the flying salt, spinning the tires & moving the ground. It’s no surprise that he is one of the most sought after retouchers in the business today.
