This car needs no introduction. It's a Rolls-Royce among... Rolls-Royces. A true limousine. Quite recently I've managed to contact the owner of this car. The result? A photo session, a really successful one, because apart from beautiful photos, we learned a lot from ourselves.
A photo shoot with the king of cars is really stressful. How to make His Majesty pose? How to show the power and luxury of the car? Luckily, the owner was really patient. As it came out later, he was also a photographer so we had tonnes of equipment and a lots of experience.
The Rolls appeared to be a good model, it looked perfect from any angle. The weather was good, after a rainy and foggy day. The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, is an amazing car. From a long distance you could already notice that it's not an average 70's classic car. Take a closer look, and you will see that the Rolls-Royce is really unique. Starting with a gigantic grille, with the famous Spirit of Ecstasy statue on top, ending on the rear with a silver badge with a name of the model.

The interior is a pure luxury. Everything is designed with taste, and made of the best quality materials. Every moving part works perfectly, ending with a characteristic "click". The electrical windows are silent. And I say it without any exageration. When I opened the windows in my Civic the very same day, it sounded like a T34 tank driving by.
Despite the luxurious character, the Silver Shadow is not only a limousine. Under the long, beautifully sculpted hood, there is an almost 7 liters V8 engine hiding which can show it's claw when needed. The Rolls reminds me of american muscle cars. Soft suspension and an enormous engine. With a little, but meaningful difference. You can place a glass full of water on the engine cover of the Rolls-Royce and be utterly sure that it's not going to loose a single drop.
The car is in mint-perfect, "driven on sundays" condition, despite the fact that the current owner is the fifth, and the Rolls-Royce is sometimes used as a wedding limo. Well, the Rolls-Royce quality is not only a myth.
Quite soon we will be reshooting the car, probably with it's Silver Shadow almost-twin brother. You will be able to see the results on my page, as soon as we're done editing.
