“I wanted to make a book that shows the work and projects in their entirety. Often, I create a large body of work, but due to space or budget, only a few images are shown in magazines or campaigns. This way, I can release the full sets and talk about the how, why, when, and where of the images, which I often get asked about.”

In addition to showing the work, the book highlights how his neurodivergence has been a guiding force, focusing on the graphic compositions, order, intricate design, and technical prowess involved in presenting these beautiful cars as works of art.

The book also delves a little deeper into a selection of projects, revealing behind-the-scenes images and an in-depth exploration of the stories, the creative and technical process behind them, from the inception of an advertising campaign to the meticulous post-production work, set builds, and final finished images on billboards and in print.
