Fantastic car pics plus, I would guess, some excellent PP’ing

Great thanks for the heads up.

A very contemporary style.

WOAH!, there's some talent there. I had a squiz around his site and noticed hes 'seeking representation'. With skills like that it shouldn't take to long!

Great site, thanks for the link!

He is already very big in the states. There is a great deal of criticism about his style and work and that it is below standard...

Personally I think he is extremely contemporary with a large artistic flair and actually like his work.

His main critics cite poor exposure on the car compared to the background (second last shot in his portfolio was picked on as was the black BMW under the bridge) and that he wouldn't get a look in the door if he wasn't Ruji... It is interesting to see how many different opinions there can be. Lack of creativity for backgrounds (it seems most locations are heavily used by car portrait togs in the US) is also mentioned.

I actually found his work when I was investigating 'rig' shots for car portraiture...

One of my favourite motorsport togs is Richard Prince.

Brett, thanks for the link. Curious, what sort of rig did you come up with. I have a mate that wants some images taken. I anticipate late evening on Mount Panorama as the back drop.

Moving slightly off topic here...

I didn't in the end. I know a few people have made a few up with suction cups and so forth to stick to the car. Also others hanging out of the windows

Thanks mate...

...and now back on topic you folk!

i dunno ruji's shots are awesome, the shot of the black BMW with the sunseting in the front bumper is amazing creativity

but damn richard prince, wow, the yellow corvette looks damn familiar too.
