This fine art photograph captures a blue 1951 Ferrari 340 America, the number 17 emblazoned on its engine cover, resting against the pure white snow of St. Moritz. The vivid contrast between the car’s deep, lustrous blue and the snow covered ground was inspired by a love of classic motorsport photography and the pioneering spirit of postwar racing.

I hope viewers feel both awe and nostalgia, sensing the quiet intensity of history lingering in this frozen moment. The juxtaposition of the powerful, storied machine and the serene, snow-covered ground is meant to stir reflection on the passage of time, the romance of motor racing, and the enduring beauty of design.

I chose photography as the medium to preserve the immediacy of the car’s lines and the nuanced effect of winter light on metal. The subject matter—a rare Ferrari 340 America—embodies heritage and craftsmanship, making it ideal for a composition that celebrates form and legacy.
