He has also been exploring the world ofautomotive image rendering. This new technology gives the advantage of being able to provide the same high standard of work as traditional location pictures, but without the need to take the shoot vehicle on location. The location environment is still captured photographically, but the vehicle is produced from engineering data.
This makes it perfect for prototypes or secret pre-production models. See the Jaguar image here for impressive results.
