Porsche Photoshoot November '11

[HKYStormFront]

I was recently able to lock in a deal with my porsche client to shoot (or re-shoot in some cases) his entire collection of cars after presenting him with the coffee table book I made from the 599 GTO shoot Kyle and I did a few months back. As part of that, we got started a couple weeks ago during the week of Thanksgiving. We also added an extra member to our "crew" named Zak who does professional video. I will post his videos of each car once they go live! Seen here are the 924 Carrera GT race car, the 968 Turbo RS Cup car and the Lowenbrau 962, the 962 being one of (if not the) winningest race cars ever remaining competitive for close to 10 years and winning multiple Le Mans races driven by Al Holbert and his team.

Porsche Photoshoot November '11 - JPMcG Photography

fav's:

1. the 924 Carrera GT


2. good view of the fiberglass wide body kit and steamrollers they called tires, the vents on the wheels blow air in to cool the brakes


3. the 962's steering wheel and exposed linkage shifter, reminds me of the Spyker's just not as pretty (but still cool!)


4. according to wikipedia, this 2.0L race built 4 cylinder makes 375hp... in 1980 o_O


5. basking in the soft glow of the overcast sky outside the hangar, the 962 has unique curves and angles


6. this is one of four 968 Turbo RS Cup cars made, this particular one was the only one to race (and win in it's class) in a Le Mans race


7. clam shell doors are the 962's "show stopper"


8. also shot a super clean 930 turbo on Ruf wheels


there are over 100 shots in the album with lots of "behind the scenes" pics as well so check it out! as always, thanks for looking and be sure to leave a comment!

Two of my favorite porsches, 930 and 924 carrera gt. That is a serious collection, just need a 916 added in the mix. I checked out the album and the photos were amazing.

this is just the tip of the iceberg! i'll be shooting the whole collection over the course of next year appreciate the compliments!

Considering just those cars are worth about 2 to 3 million I can't imagine the other cars.

lol, i'm not going to even go there, i'll just say he's a really nice guy and always has been supportive of me learning my craft and i am forever grateful for it! having the opprotunity to go back and reshoot a lot of the stuff i did early in my photography days is a blessing too, i look back at some of these shots and just shake my head "what was i thinking?" lol. getting to do that with my friend kyle and zak on video is going to be an awesome experience, and a profitable one too

[Clemsons2k]

Oh yeah definitely a nice guy for supporting you like this. I'm extremely jealous

GREAT shots! Always a pleasure.

Not too many of us would go to an art show and stare at paintings for hours... in fact we might even make fun of those that do. But you put some beautiful pics like these on exhibit and you'll need to pass out drool towels.

Thanks for capturing these cars so well and sharing it with us....

Does this guy every jump into a car and just blast around that airport for a few minutes? I know I would lol...

Also why did he decide to sell some of his collection? Making room for more cars maybe?
