Folks,
I help research the buying guides for Practical Classics and the next one I’ve been asked to do is on the R129. I need to find a tidy example, which I can put into the studio to photograph for the piece. Can you please get in touch with me if you’ve got a car that we can put in the studio – it needs to be in good condition and essentially to standard spec. The spec itself doesn’t matter, but something reasonably brightly coloured would be perfect as it's photographed on a white background in artificial light – so no white cars can be used and I also try to avoid black or silver, although we can use those if necessary. There will only be studio photography of the car, so there will be no dynamic shots taken at all.
If you think you might be able to help, could you drop me a line please, ideally directly to me at vicky@richarddredge.com, attaching a couple of photos so I can show the Art Ed the interior and exterior colours. In return for the use of your car (which nobody but you will drive), you'll get your fuel costs paid, a set of the pictures (a studio shoot is worth about £350-£400) and a copy of the magazine.
You'll need to be able to give up a few hours to take your car to a studio in Derby or possibly Bedford. It would obviously be best for us to get someone reasonably close to one of these locations but not essential.
This forum very kindly helped me out about 4 years ago so I think I'm OK with this post but I apologise if not. This shoot needs to be organised within the next week or so due to a schedule swap around which I apologise for as normally we would give a bit more notice.
Thanks for your time,
Vicky Dredge
