Fashion shoot with MelissaRoshan

The Mitsuoka Viewt is a modification of the Nissan March/Micra, intended to resemble the Jaguar Mark 2. It, along with Mitsuoka's later Galue, encouraged larger Japanese manufacturers to produce retro-styled versions of their own cars. This model was imported by a local car collector and enthusiast, who asked me to find a way to shoot the car in a seemingly natural environment.

The Toyota Century is a large four-door limousine produced mainly for the Japanese market. The Century is produced in limited numbers and is built in a "nearly hand-made" fashion. It is often used by royalty, the Prime Minister of Japan, senior government leaders, and high level executives. I was given the chance to shoot this car by the owner, finding that it seemed the most at home in the evening urban environment.

Sometimes it's the space itself and not what is filling it, that can be so overwhelming. Natural or otherwise, this is an ongoing study of those places.

Miscellaneous automotive photography from various locations and times.

The name Nostromo was chosen for the commercial towing spaceship featured in Ridley Scott's Alien. Taken from British novelist Joseph Conrad's work of the same name, and often thought to be derived from the Italian translation meaning "mate" or "boatswain." Others believe it might be a combination of the Italian words "nostro" and "uomo", meaning "our man." Regardless, it will forever be burned into my memory as a part of one of the best films to come out of the late 1970's, redefining the genre of science fiction, drama and horror.
