Hi there,

I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to photograph a gorgeous Lamborghini Diablo SV yesterday. The current owner of this car has had it for three years and as it does not get used that much he is in the process of getting it back to tip top condition.

I had a pretty free reign over the photographs, the only thing that I feel lets these pics down a bit is the location. Unfortunately this was out of my control. The car was not cleaned especially for the shoot so there may be the odd bit of dirt in some of the pics.

As you all know I spend far to much time photographing cars and inparticular Supercars.

Alot of my pics have been static shots that I have not really thought about to much in advance and have taken quickly due to the fact the cars is usually on display at a show and there are crowds of people around.

Its time for me to get a bit more serious and to start building up a portfolio of images I can use to source further clients. These pics are my first attempt at being a bit different to my normal photosets and I am personally really pleased with them.

Below are the results. Please have a look at each image and pass any comments or criticism where you feel neccessary.

Hi there,

Many thanks guys for all the comments and constructive critcism, its always a pleasure to shoot such superb cars and much of the time it would be impossible without the help of some of the owners who frequent sites like this one.

The Diablo SV in these shots is a superb car and one of only 9 RHD's in existance I believe.

Perhaps not exclusive enough though, my next shoot is a real stunner.



This one is one of only 50 in the world and one of only 2 RHD drive cars in the UK.

More pics of the Murcielago to follow in the next couple of days.

Regards

Tim

Hi there,

No definitely not. This Murcielago is owned by a great guy who runs a company not far from me, the pics were taken outside his office.

Nice pictures. Have you got any interior shots?
Hi there,

Only got one or two, was to busy shooting the outside of the car and the little details. Really like the colour scheme, it suits the car.

Warren,

Not sure about the colour change but it seems the front bumper is incorrect as well.
Look at the bumper on this SV



and now the one in my shots



The one fitted to the Blue car looks more like an early VT bumper to me.

Will try and see if the owner can shed any light as I have got to see him again this week.

Should Ice Blue be this colour: -
