Last week’s story about Phoenix Art Museum’s virtual tour of its Legends of Speed exhibit prompted us to take a deeper dive into the photographer behind the stunning Ferrari image provided by the museum. That led us to Atlanta-based Bill Pack, who kindly shared his time to answer our questions about how he captured all 22 cars for the museum’s exhibit catalog.
Bill was commissioned by the Phoenix Art Museum to create his automotive art imagery for the Legends of Speed exhibition. His imagery appears in the exhibitions hardcover, 168 page book. You can purchase this book through the Phoenix Art Museum, click here. Legends of Speed Book.
Bill Pack combines his passion for fine art photography with rare cars from around the world. Trained as a commercial photographer at the Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara, California, Bill has built a career combining his experience creating vivid, award-winning images of consumer products with a lifelong love of architecture and automotive design to develop an illumination technique: “Painting with Light.”
