ABOUT THIS COMMISSION
The 1962 Chevrolet Corvette C1 Convertible is a standout in automotive history, known for its sleek design, muscle car performance, and cultural significance. As the final year of the first-generation Corvette, it featured a refined appearance with iconic quad headlights and a choice of V8 engines, producing up to 250 bhp and 250 lb-ft from its 5.4-litre unit. This model is special for its blend of American craftsmanship, style, and raw power, capturing the essence of post-WWII optimism and the American Dream. The Corvette C1 became a symbol of freedom and luxury, frequently appearing in movies and TV shows like Route 66, cementing its place in pop culture and American identity as the quintessential sports car.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
“Car Fine Art”, is how Dutch Photographer Thomas Boudewijn describes his work. “I love cars and especially their design. Cars are works of art. Subtle lines, smooth curves, angular shapes, beautiful details and materials defining a car and brand.”
“The unique FDL Lighting technique (focused diffused lighting) gives me artistic freedom to create truly unique images and shoot ‘Art on Wheels’.” It’s a tribute to car designers. Using this unique lighting technique, Thomas manages to eliminate distracting reflections on a car and replace them with a silky smooth finish to really highlight the design.
In addition to car photography, Thomas also is working as a graphic designer and food & lifestyle photographer in the coffee industry. Cars are a fixed element in his life. Shooting for a variety of clients, organising Cars & Coffee events and providing FDL Workshops. “I love to pass on my photography knowledge and experience to other photographers, helping them expand their skills and provide new inspiration.
