Art & Inspiration HOP UP 11 ISSUE 1 STEVE GALDES 39 MERC

Evening Hambers. I haven't posted here for a very long time. I will try and post as much on here.
Tim Sutton has kindly asked me to be the australian connection for the Revived HOP UP. First shoot was this amazing Merc. Check out the feature in issue number one!

 

Good work if you can get it!

Great car and great job representing it in the new mag.

 

Awesome and Steve's car is just perfect...

 

Very kool! Great shots of the Merc.

 

Great car and photos!
Nit pick; billet/braided dipstick needs the ax.

 

damn that's a fine looking Merc!

 

Damn man ... beautiful. Any tips to what your favorite camera, or format would be ? Not hip too much to the newer digital tricks, but it seems some sort of film is your choice with these. Awesome shots !

 

thank you!! I had never seen Steve's car in person before. Only one really bad quality photo from Instagram. When it rolled up, i couldn't stop smiling. Just a perfect period custom.

 

thanks man! I really am humbled by this. 95% of my work is digital. Canon 5dmkii 35mmL, 50mmL, 135mmL lenses. My favourite films are Portra and Tri-x, so i have tried to put those elements into my digital work

 

thank you very much, Pete. I really appreciate those kind words! I want to do my upmost best to represent australian trad customs and hotrods!

 

What a cool car..great work guys

 

You are representing Australia correctly.

 

Thanks so much my man!!

 

Thank you mate! The merc is flawless in my opinion! It'll be getting a very healthy flathead in the coming months as well!

 

Steve's Merc, is very much understated. A lot like the owner.
It is a real credit to him!
I really enjoyed the feature, along with the whole issue of the new Hop Up
