Car dealer photography for marketing promotions

We were asked to provide commercial car photography by Lotus Cars Australia to assist with a promotional program that was being created.

The car photography needed to be used as hero shots for Heinemann Duty Free to use in all of their promotional materials with a mix of print, digital and electronic uses. We took a mix of photos of the Lotus Elise sports car to be used for various commercial purposes.
