Ferrari 599 SA Aperta Shoot

Yesterday I had the opportunity to photograph a very special and rare car, the Ferrari 599 SA Aperta. Only 80 of these beautiful convertibles were built as a tribute to Pininfarina’s 80th anniversary, and so far only 3 have made it onto Ontario roads. This stunning “Nero Stellato” example was fresh from the dealership with only delivery miles on the odometer. Even though I photographed another Aperta last summer I was still blown away when the owner drove the car up to the location. The freezing cold temperatures made the shoot a bit of a challenge (ever tried to adjust exposure with numb fingers?) but I was very happy with the results. This was my first full automotive photo session of 2012 and I hope the rest of the year is filled with more exciting machines! Enjoy the photos.
