Here, I am, finally back after three days of madness! I was at the Concorso d'Eleganza in Villa d'Este. Probably the best one in Europe and for sure the best location in the world hands down!
First of all, a BIG and I mean, BIG thank you goes to Jabba for helping me getting the press pass that allowed me to access the show the best days: sat and especially friday, instead of Sunday, the public day.
I am still speechless, really. I saw some of the finest machinery ever built in a jaw dropping location and came back probably with some of the most beautiful pics I ever took. It was just perfect! I was there with a couple of friends, one of which is salegosse and that made a great week-end even better.
But well, enjoy this first load. These are the pics from Friday, 204 of them. On Friday many photoshoots take place, but not all the cars come out. Too bad because there was nobody around and the weather was great. I managed to shoot the rest of the cars on Saturday obviously, but harder to get nice pics.
The rest of the pics will follow in the next updates and I can already tell you the next one will be a very special one: a private photoshoot with Zagato new creation :shock:
ENJOY, and as always, click the previews to be taken to the full 204 high-res pics update
Let's start with the most classic Villa d'Este shot and a classic BMW 326 cabrio (BMW is the main sponsor)
