About the project
Photographing the Ford 351-GT was a lot of fun. The owner was just about to sell the car that once belonged to Allan Moffat and wanted some images to remember it by. We chose an industrial warehouse to photograph the classic automobile, as the simple grey concrete really made the bright orange pop and left the background distraction-free. Some of the lines in the architecture were also helpful to add some dynamics and symmetry to the images. A composite image was also created using various images Kelvin had taken on some of his overseas trips as an extra gift to the client.

The Ford Motor Company Falcon XY GT is a sports sedan based on the Ford Falcon XY. Released in 1970 by Ford Australia, with the GTHO Phase III released in 1971. Some 1,557 units were produced from September 1970 to December 1971 with 300 GTHO Phase IIIs produced from May 1971 to November 1971. It was the fourth in the initial series of the Ford Falcon GT. A limited number were exported to South Africa, wearing Fairmont GT badging. The Fairmont GT model is starting to increase in value as Falcon GTs become harder to find and buyers beginning to see the Fairmont as a genuine GT.
