Riva Power Boat.
One thing I really love about my work is that I never quite know what I’m going to be asked to shoot next.
When asked by Ron Jenkins of JAM Designs advertising agency to shoot an expensive power boat which was going up for sale, I didn’t know quite what to expect, I certainly had a pleasant surprise. A circa 1960 Riva Powerboat is a beauty to behold, and frankly belongs on display where more people can appreciate the craftsmanship. It was magnificent….wooden inlay, beautifully crafted and power to burn.
She reminded me of a Ford Mustang, classic lines underscored with power. We spent a couple of hours down at the Royal Perth Yacht Club trying to capture the Riva from every angle, every facet of her character, to give the advertising people the best result. I’m not really of a boat person myself, but I fell in love with this Lady. She’d been lovingly maintained and I hope that her new owner, whoever they may be, will give this Lady the love & respect that she deserves….they just don’t make them like this anymore.
