Lamborghini was kind enough to invite my friend Gee Milner and I to Sardinia to photograph and drive their current fleet of cars. As the UK based Automotive photographer the idea of escaping to a warmer climate to have freedom of shooting and driving some of the most iconic cars in the world as exciting, to say the least.
Upon arrival, we were greeted with temperatures in the high 30’s and the keys to a stunning Yellow Huracan EVO a very warm Italian welcome we got straight too it. A sunset drive along the coast soon made us realise that the suggested photo locations would be an issue with the busy roads and enthusiastic locals stopping to take selfies, shooting photos was going to be a challenge. Little did we complain, listening to that N\A V10 roar we begin to get creative with a couple of sunset shots before stopping at a local pizzeria and a little street food before cruising back to the hotel.
Over a beer that evening we began to do our own research on where best to photograph these engineering masterpieces. Where would they be more at home than a twisty mountain road covered in the finest Sardinian tarmac? Ignoring the advice from Lamborghini PR team we embarked on an early morning sunrise shoot the opposite direction, the interior of Sardinia, which soon opened up to be the best decision by far. Perfect roads no one around and the most golden light shooting photos was going to be a walk in the park with these views and conditions.
300+ Miles later a memory card full of shots I couldn’t wait to edit but unfortunately the trip had come to an end. An experience of a lifetime driving through the mountains with my best friend, a V10 and a V12 with some amazing automotive photos to add to the portfolio, some of the finest Italian cooking, lots of suns and a few top gear style moments lost in small towns, it’s not a trip I’m going to forget any time soon.
Just a few of my favourite shots below. Thanks for the opportunity, Lamborghini.
