Top Quality SE & S2 digital pics wanted for a new book

Postby Dave Eds » Wed 26.01.2011, 19:32

I have been asked to source some top quality pics for a new book about '90s cars. These shots must be of the highest quality and the sort that would be up to the standards of press releases (clean cars and interesting backgrounds).

If you have any that fit the bill, and you are happy for them to be used (you will be credited in the book) please let me know/have them via email only.

I will then pass them on for selection.

:D


Edit - I'm pretty sure we're looking for cars as they would have left the factory i.e. no visible upgrades or changes!

When you say photographs, do you mean digital, proper photos or negatives?

I've got several pics of Eleanor at Castle Combe that were taken by the professional photographer Jim(?) Gaisford which are highish definition (about 4mb) and very good. One of them has been used for one of the LEC stand posters (and my avatar). I suspect that JG still has copyright, but he may well be happy to let it get used if correctly credited - I dont think he was at all worried/difficult when Nige approached him. Worth sending ? or should I wait to see if your contact can be bothered to approach JG?

Sy took photo's of virtually every Elan at Donington either last year or the year before. They will undoubtedly be high res. looking at the kit he was using. Might be worth giving the old boy a bell ??

PS Just noticed that my avatar is one of Sy's ;-)
