With nearly three hundred pages of glossy, full-bleed photos, teNeues' latest book on Porsche is the ultimate homage to the luxury car brand's history of style, design and performance. Bound in a hot-pink foil cover and at a whopping 11.5" x 14.5", the
larger-than-life look at the legendary sports car makes a standout addition to a coffee table or the perfect gift for any Porsche enthusiast.
Twenty-four chapters, divided into categories such as "Red," "Origins," "Inside Out," and "Birds-Eye View," explore every angle of every model. Each page—filled with bold statements and splashed with nostalgic spreads—bears the mark of powerhouse publisher teNeues.
Edited by esteemed commercial photographer Frank M. Orel (much of whose own work graces the pages of the book), his forward sets a "turbocharged" tone for the collection of "images that attest to raw power, creativity and aesthetics."

ARTIST STATEMENT:
These four photographs are taken from the series The Games We Play. The photographs in this series depict sporting environments. The photographs were all taken in the UK and the USA over two years in 2006 and 2007.
Setting out to photograph such places, I decided to portray them as simply as possible. Therefore the photographs are not manipulated in the darkroom or on a computer. The photographs were shot in available light if indoors, and in flat light if outside. The prints are straightforward positive reproductions taken from neutral scans of the large format negatives.
