Concorso

„I was 19 years old the first time I heard about the Concorso d'Eleganza villa d'Este. I was a budding photographer and deeply fascinated by classic, Italian cars. Some19 years later, when I participated in the Concorso d'Eleganza villa d'Este for thefirst time, I had long since made my passion for photography and exclusive carsinto a career. Today, I make a living as a commercial photographer and haveworked on campaigns for major car brands throughout most of the world – fromCopenhagen to Beijing, from Shanghai to South Africa. The book contains muchmore than just tasteful pictures of classic cars. It is my tribute to the most covetedconcorso in the world seen through my camera lens from 2005-2011. The evocative and magical moments are captured in an edgy and extravagantreportage style that encapsulates the uniqueness of the occasion; an incrediblyatmospheric event with inimitable classic cars, impassioned money men, exclusivity, style and elegance."
