Concorso

"I was 19 years old the first time I heard about the Concorso d'eleganza villa d'este. I was a budding photographer and deeply fascinated by classic, Italian cars. Some 19 years later, when I participated in the Concorso d'eleganza villa d'este for the first time, I had long since made my passion for photography and exclusive cars into a career. The book contains much more than just tasteful pictures of classic cars. It is my tribute to the most coveted concorso in the world seen through my camera lens from 2005-2011. The evocative and magical moments are captured in an edgy and extravagant reportage style that encapsulates the uniqueness of the occasion; an incredibly atmospheric event with inimitable classic cars, impassioned money men, exclusivity, style and elegance."
