Aston Martin DB5 by The White Rabbit

It is believed that half the world’s population would recognise an Aston Martin DB5, of course, I’m not sure how that was figured out, but it’s hard to argue that the Aston Martin DB5 is without a doubt the best-known of all the Aston Martins, and surely has to be up there as one of the top three classic cars ever made.

Aston Martin cars are just one of those cars that everyone is familiar with, of course, the connection to James Bond 007 has always been a driving factor in that I guess.

Many people view cars based on performance and speed but for me, my interest and passion lie within the actual design of the cars, I have always viewed them as sculptures of metal and glass, and I photograph them as such in this style, working with my lighting to bring out the fine details as well as the sweeping and sometimes very subtle body lines.

The Aston Martin DB5 is one of those cars that just brings a smile to your face when you shoot it, regardless of that being in studio or on location. The gentle curve of the bodywork along its length begs to show the gentle fall off of light from top to bottom and the sweeping bonnet that drives towards that very recognisable Aston Martin front grill, with all its curves as it rises into the famous central air intake.
