ABOUT THIS COMMISSION
The BMW M1, launched in 1978. Conceived as a homologation special for Group 4 and 5 racing, built in partnership with Lamborghini before financial trouble forced BMW to finish the job itself. Giorgetto Giugiaro's wedge; pop-up headlights lifted from the 1972 Turbo concept, a glasshouse pulled low and tight, remains one of the most complete shapes to come out of the era.
A mid-mounted 3.5-litre straight-six, 277 bhp, naturally aspirated. No turbo lag, no filter between input and response. 0-60 in 5.6 seconds, 162mph; modest figures that miss the point entirely. BMW missed the homologation deadline before the M1 ever raced as intended. What followed instead was the Procar Championship: a single season of Formula 1 drivers, identical cars, no excuses. The racing legacy the M1 built wasn't the one it was designed for. 453 built. The car that proved BMW could build something exotic, not merely fast, and the first to wear the M badge with any real claim to it.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
“Car Fine Art”, is how Dutch Photographer Thomas Boudewijn describes his work. “I love cars and especially their design. Cars are works of art. Subtle lines, smooth curves, angular shapes, beautiful details and materials defining a car and brand.”
“The unique FDL Lighting technique (focused diffused lighting) gives me artistic freedom to create truly unique images and shoot ‘Art on Wheels’.” It’s a tribute to car designers. Using this unique lighting technique, Thomas manages to eliminate distracting reflections on a car and replace them with a silky smooth finish to really highlight the design.
In addition to car photography, Thomas also is working as a graphic designer and food & lifestyle photographer in the coffee industry. Cars are a fixed element in his life. Shooting for a variety of clients, organising Cars & Coffee events and providing FDL Workshops. “I love to pass on my photography knowledge and experience to other photographers, helping them expand their skills and provide new inspiration.
