Continuing the idea of using genuine Mercedes parts in unusual situations, This image is a rework of the "Giants Causeway" in Northern Ireland. Because this ad was produced in the dead of winter, I used a library photograph for the background and shot the filters in my studio. We were only given 40 of these 35cm high giants so I had to produce about 15 different set-ups from various perspectives. There is lots and lots of repetition but you will be hard pressed to spot it. A very complicated retouch.
