The Maserati Book
Bibliografie
Beschreibung des Verlages
The dream team of René Staud and Jürgen Lewandowski has once again produced a superlative volume of photographs of automobiles. This time it is dedicated to the family-owned company Maserati, founded in 1914.
Breathtaking images by star photographer René Staud show a multitude of legendary models such as the Sebring, one of the most exclusive vehicles of the 1960s, or the beautiful Ghibli designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro. Henri Ford also drove it and is said to have replied to his designers in response to their complaint: "Why don't you build a more beautiful car?" Plus, of course, new highlights from the Maserati portfolio.
One of the Fratelli Maserati (Maserati brothers), Ernesto, celebrates his 125th birthday in 2023. Reason enough to take a closer look at the company's history as well as its racing successes in Formula 1 and Targa Florio. But exciting stories and pictures of celebrities who could or can call a Maserati their own, and appearances of the automotive legend in films such as Pretty Best Friends, where the special sound of the Maserati awakens an unbelievably childlike joy in driver and passenger, are not to be missed here.
The combination of Staud's high-end photography and Jürgen Lewandowski's illuminating and exhilarating digressions make The Maserati Book a must-have for any automobile enthusiast.
Über die Mitwirkenden
René Staud
René Staud wurde 1951 in Stuttgart geboren. Er startete zunächst mit Hochzeits- und Reportageaufnahmen, bevor er sich mit zunehmender Popularität dem Bereich Produkt- und Werbefotografie zuwandte. Schnell erkannte er den Bedarf an professionellen Produktionen und eröffnete 1975 sein erstes Studio in Stuttgart. Bald darauf folgt das Großraumstudio in Wendlingen. Der große Durchbruch gelang ihm 1985 mit der Entwicklung des Magicflash®, einem Lichtsystem, das speziell auf die Bedürfnisse der Studiofotografie abgestimmt ist. Diese innovative Flächenlichttechnik war sein Einstieg in die Automobilfotografie, die er auf höchsten Niveau bis heute pflegt.
