Exclamation Photography for New Model E350

Hi MBWorld Members,

I'm producing a photo shoot for a Los Angeles based national auto advertising photographer named Trevor Pearson (www.trevorpearson.com). We're trying to track down a new model E350 for a portfolio shot in metallic gray. If there's anyone on these boards, or if you know someone, who would love some beautiful photographs of their car... please reply!

Shoot details:

Our goal is to shoot next week as early as Tuesday. It's an indoor studio shoot at the studio owned by Trevor: Stage 5290 (www.stage5290.com). Absolutely no mileage will be put on the car, and it will come back to you spotless. We're currently working on a couple projects with a local benz dealer, and we have worked with several dealerships in the past on similar projects.

A reply to this post or a direct email to taylor@trevorpearson.com would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,
Taylor

When you mean new style E350, do you mean 2007-2009 facelifted design, or do you just mean current generation 2003-2009?

I'm trying to track down a brand new E350 (very low mileage). Road wear makes the vehicle difficult to photograph/retouch perfectly.

That is just too beautiful, amazing . I LOVE those yellow Brembo calipers.

If I may recommend, paint the roof black like Clayton's. It would be sexier than sex on wheels, which your car already is .
