Pebble Beach Car Auction Photography for Bonhams with a 1941 Mercury Woody

There were several challenges with this car auction photography shoot for Bonhams Auctions. One was the weather, which at this time of year in the Monterey peninsula area, and here in Pebble Beach to be exact, is pretty much fog and the marine layer being omnipresent for days and days at a time. There was a deadline to make for this shoot making it into the catalog for Qual, so even though there was no blue sky or sunshine, I had to make the best of the weather conditions.

Then the second big challenge was that the car is not in running condition. However, I was under the impression that once a couple of helpers the owner had on site to roll the car out of the garage, they would be present for the shoot to push it around so I could then shoot from the spot with both the best light and best background, as I always have for car auction photography, but they could not stay. So this time instead of the car rotating for me, I had to rotate around the car! Despite these two big challenges, I was still pleased with the photos I was able to produce for Bonhams, and more importantly, so was my contact from Bonhams. Thank you Eric for understanding!
