Magnum Photographer

 Paolo Pellegrin's of the construction of the new Audi E-Tron really interested me. How he was able to beautify the process of automobile construction is spectacular to me, especially as a car enthusiast. His images all have a specific feeling to them, a deep sense of contrast, even when capturing in color. He mentions his interest in photography that is unfinished, and I feel like this project reflected that through another piece of art, the automobile.

This first image displays the painting operations of the body of the vehicle. It shows the very human like arms spraying, and the beautiful lighting of the paint booth to catch any imperfections of the paintwork on the car.

This is probably one of my favorite images. The beautiful bare metal, displayed in an almost erotic lighting. The contours of the body lines are very pronounced by the way the light hits the door, definitely something being done intentionally. 

This last image uses reflections, matching colors and shapes, forming a very pleasing looking image. I'm not really sure how else to describe it other than the documentation of the finishing of a product, yet something so mass produced can even become artful and unique through the way it is captured.
