We scouted long and hard to find an isolated one that could hold sovereignty over all that lay around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMany locations in Val d’Orcia are over photographed - but not this one - it’s private land and we filmed in partnership with the farmer. It’s as good a tree as we have ever had in a picture. The second is that the driver, Kelsey Merrit, very much owns the shot despite being less than 0.5% of the entire image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThat is quite an achievement when the competition for attention is either the  \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003ebucolic charm of this part of Italy or the 1955 Ferrari 121LM that in its first year recorded the highest speed ever in Mille Miglia when driven by Piero Taruffi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOn the route from Rome to Brescia, he averaged 189kph. Kelsey’s hair is perfectly styled for this composition and I thank our good friend, Larry King of London, for doing such a great job at 4 am. I am reminded again that it’s always the small things that turn a decent photograph into a very special one. She not only looks fantastic but plausibly local.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe third dynamic is the early morning mist which cloaks the valleys in the background. This often happens in May in the Tuscan countryside, but it is far from a given. It’s something that we can wish for, but we can’t really plan for,  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ebecause the lead time in production is longer than reliable mist forecasts tend to be. But we can narrow the odds in our favour by shooting over a four-day stretch and always being ready at 5 am with all props in place. This was the one morning when the ducks were in line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThere is no lofty ambition in this narrative - I simply wanted to toast the indelible outline of the Tuscan countryside and celebrate its historical marriage with Ferrari which was cemented by the Mille Miglia car race. I marvel at the rich beauty of the world we live in and that is something I find hard not to celebrate in my work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"David Yarrow","offers":[{"title":"157cm x 132cm \/ Photography","offer_id":52790595322080,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"220cm x 180cm \/ Photography","offer_id":52790595354848,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/7201\/2256\/files\/3_5bd2a679-57e6-4514-878e-1fbc3379d097.jpg?v=1779813708","url":"https:\/\/scapegoatgallery.com\/en-de\/products\/cypress-point","provider":"Scapegoatgallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
