A morning photographing a special Rolls-Royce in New Mexico
A representative from RM Sotheby’s called me up about photographing this majestic 1953 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith in nearby Sandia Park, New Mexico. I am always excited to have the opportunity to photograph special cars like this Rolls-Royce. It even had quite a history, as it was originally in Canada and in 1957 when Prince Philip visited the Canada for the celebration of its independence, he rode in this very car! There is a plaque on the dash to commemorate this even. I found this car very striking from the outside with its sweeping wheel well design and of course the always impressive front grill that is the hallmark of all Rolls-Royce vehicles to this day. Using the Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM lens, the magic properties of that lens along with the striking pose of the Spirit of Ecstasy combined for incredible detail shots of this storied vehicle. Thank you to the owners for the interesting conversation while shooting, and to RM Sotheby’s for the opportunity to spend time with the history of this Rolls-Royce!
