Photo Shoot in London
« on: December 12, 2016, 20:13:43 »
We have received the following email seeking a Pagoda. If any Member is interested please contact Charlie Teasdale, Deputy Style Editor, Esquire directly.

“Hi there,

Apologies for emailing out of the blue, but we were hoping to photograph a mint condition Pagoda for an upcoming issue, and I figured this would be a good place to come!

The next issue of the Big Black Book - the luxury lifestyle biannual we publish alongside Esquire Magazine – is based around the 100 best things in the world, and we think the Pagodas might just be some of the coolest car ever made, so we’d like to shoot one across two pages.

Do you think one of your members would be willing to loan their car for a few hours one day in the coming weeks? The studio would be in central London, and I imagine we wouldn’t need the car in the studio for long.

It would be a good opportunity for the owner to have a ‘portrait’ taken of their car by a professional for free (and see it in print), so hopefully one or two members will be interested.

Let me know if you can help, fingers crossed!

Best,
Charlie

Well, since I am in the closing stages of a two year restoration and was considering having some professional photos done before handing the car over to the customer this might be just the ticket!

I have on many  occassions "loaned" my car for photo shoots and there should be compensation.  There is budget for the photos and someone beside the photograher should be entitled- 

My car has been photographed for

1- cole hann photo
2- victorias secret catalog photo
3- tommy hilfiger video ad X2
4- another unknown ad piece the phtograher seleceted three cars had them brough to loaction and selected a different one for the shoot-  we were all paid
5- episode for the TV show Gotham

Most paid well and were supported with flatbed pick up/drop off.  Interestingly enough it only showed up in one print ad and I find Gotham unwatchable and havent seen the episode
