Friend of Sell! Sell! and expert photographer
Oli Tennent was recently commissioned by the people at McLaren to shoot the launch photographs for their new super-supercar, the P1. If you've spent time on shoots, you'll know how long it takes to get the lighting perfect on even the most simple object. So imagine when it comes to something as complex and visual as the P1, with all of its compound curve loveliness. If you then layer over the top of that the perfectionism of McLaren, and of Mr Tennent – well, the mind boggles. Interestingly, Oli gives us a little glimpse into this exacting world with this short time lapse, which represents just half an hour of the shoot.
Below are low-res version of some of the final images, to see them bigger, go to Oli's website,

Very cool car and gorgeous photography from Mr Tennent.
