Nike Shinny Ambush Event

Lucas Scarfone — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 22:29:02 +0000

On February 10th Nike put their exciting plan in motion at Ramsden Park in Downtown Toronto. The typical schedule on a Friday night has a shinny game played between 8-10pm, but this night would be a little different. We showed up with “Clutch The Truck” which is a completely custom vehicle made for Nike that travels to different shinny rinks around the city. This truck is equipped with a big screen TV, play station, skate sharpeners, hot chocolate, and loads of Nike Sportswear gear. The unsuspecting shinny players were floored when Luke Schenn from the Leafs and P.K. Suban from the Canadians showed up to be the guest coaches for the game, along with cheerleaders, a DJ, refreshments, and an announcer. The two NHL players divided the pile of sticks to pick teams and after the national anthems things were on their way. The atmosphere was electric with all the players skating their hearts out to impress the two high profile coaches standing behind the benches. As the buzzer went at 10pm it was a night that no one at the park will ever forget and another great event put on by Nike! To check out the truck at it’s next appearance visit www.clutchthetruck.com. Enjoy the photos!

Vehicle-Direct Visit

Lucas Scarfone — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:14:40 +0000

Today I stopped by the brand new Vehicle-Direct.ca location in Mississauga to see Mike McDonald. As soon as I walked in the door I was greeted by a stunning row of Italian machinery including a black/black F430 and a few late model Lamborghini’s. Mike deals with several high end exotics on a daily basis and has a great inventory of unique cars. We’ll be doing some great shoots in the spring and summer so stay tuned for those shots. Make sure to visit www.Vehicle-Direct.ca for more information.

Hot Rod Shoot

Lucas Scarfone — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:16:13 +0000

Yesterday I had the opportunity to shoot these two completely custom Hot Rod’s. Both were hand built by two hobbyists who spent over 500 hours on each of these unique machines. Coming from shooting high end exotics these cars were a nice change of pace, they have so much character and attitude and demand attention! These shots were taken between shoots for a new TV show, so stay tuned for a full photo shoot in the spring. Enjoy the photos!

Herjavec Ferrari + Ducati Shoot

Lucas Scarfone — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 23:18:46 +0000

I was hired by Robert Herjavec (Co-star of CBC’s Dragon’s Den and ABC’s Shark Tank) to photograph his freshly updated Ferrari 458 Challenge race car as well as his new Ducati Hypermotard 1100s. Some of you might remember the photo shoot I did with this car last year when it was fresh from the factory. Robert piloted this 458 to a great season in the Ferrari Challenge Series, winning rookie of the year for his efforts. This year the car was outfitted with a fresh set of graphics before it hits the track in Florida in the next few weeks. The Ducati was a perfect match for this car and had several unique details and features. I don’t usually shoot motorcycles but the 1100s is another Italian work of art! For more information on Robert please visit his personal website www.robertherjavec.com.

These beautiful race cars are prepped at the Ferrari factory in Italy with several differences from it’s street legal brother. The “Challenge” version of the 458 is powered by the same 570hp engine, but has a lower ride height, fully stripped out race interior, centre lock wheels, tuned F1 gearbox, and a roll cage, just to name a few!

McLaren Toronto Visit

Lucas Scarfone — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 02:00:00 +0000

Yesterday I stopped by the brand new McLaren dealership in Toronto. Also known as Pfaff Tuning, this dealership will handle all the sales of the new MP4-12C in Canada. They had 2 demo cars on site, one of which was outside for me to explore with my lens! This was the first time I had the opportunity to spend some time with the MP4 and it is a great car to shoot. There are several functional details on this car which makes it really stand out. Inside the dealership there were also some very special cars including Alan Prost’s old F1 car, a Carrera GT, and a rolling cutaway chassis of an MP4. The chassis was very interesting since you could see all the components and the carbon fibre monocoque which make this car such a special machine. A few of my clients are waiting to take delivery of their cars so stay tuned for more photo shoots this spring!

Ferrari 599 SA Aperta Shoot

Lucas Scarfone — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 22:10:36 +0000

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.

Aston Martin Vanquish Shoot

Lucas Scarfone — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 23:58:04 +0000

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to shoot this beautiful Aston Martin V12 Vanquish. I’ve been a big fan of the Vanquish since James Bond drove it in “Die Another Day” in 2002. There are so many unique lines and details on this car and the sound is equally as incredible. This vehicle is currently for sale through Yorkville Leasing, if anyone is interested please email Don Gasiunas at don@yorkvillelsg.com.

Ferrari 458 & Bentley CGT Shoot

Lucas Scarfone — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 23:01:43 +0000

Yesterday I had the opportunity to shoot 2 stunning automobiles, a Ferrari 458 Italia and a Bentley Continental GT. I have shot several cars for the owner and I was lucky enough to get behind the wheel of both of these to drive them to the shoot location. The Bentley is luxury in every sense of the word. The interior details are second to none and the fit and finish is incredible, a very comfortable daily driver. There are several words to describe the 458, but most of them are synonyms for incredible. I had driven this car extensively in Forza 4 so to get behind the wheel of the real thing was an amazing experience. The smell of the leather, the sound of the engine, the lighting quick shifting, I could go on and on! Enjoy viewing these cars through my lens:

Scarfone Photography Formula Renault

Lucas Scarfone — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 21:19:30 +0000

Monday was the debut test day of this unique Formula Renault race car, this car will be raced by long time driver and friend Robert Calisi in 2012. I have been a fan of racing since I was little so it was a very cool feeling to see my company logo on the side of the car while it blasted around the track. The colour scheme on the car was inspired by “Francesco Bernoulli” from the Disney movie CARS 2. Carbonio has also sponsored the car and manufactures custom aftermarket carbon fibre parts for Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, and other high end marquees. Be sure to take a look at their amazing products on their website (www.Carbonio.com). I am very proud to be associated with Rob and this company and I’m really looking forward to being the photographer for the team during the race series next year! Enjoy the photos.
