CARS & LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY Oct 2012

Dirk Kruell shot the 2013 calendar for Standox, entitled 'Cars and Culture'. The central theme was to show 13 icons of automobile history embedded in their original eras, characterised by art, design and cultural highlights from the period.

Dirk is delighted to have received first prize in the 2012 IPA's Lucy Award in the category 'Automobile Advertisement' with his latest calendar project 'Timeless Beauties. He also received two honourable mentions: another calendar project 'Colour Fantasies' (see April's Spotlight) and in architecture with 'Muengsten bridge'.

One of his most recent projects is to capture the enormous car collection of a one of Germany's largest and best known corporations for museum and book-publishing purposes.
