Formula One in Pictures
by Martin Trenkler
Foreword by Mark Webber
The first
publication of Formula One’s next generation
art photographer Martin Trenkler takes a deep look into the
unknown world of Formula One. As a motorsport enthusiast himself,
Martin wanted to describe the world of paddock and race track in a
very accurate variety of themes, like impressions from a Grand
Prix weekend (Friday morning till Sunday after the race),
portraits the world champion Michael Schumacher, drivers, helmet
graphic details, technology and design, teams, bosses, girls, etc.
A 240 pages
hard cover book uses American Letter format (215x280 mm) and thick
glossy paper. The layout, also done by Martin Trenkler, is
precisely prepared so the photographs on facing pages „work“
together and create a special feeling and atmosphere of the
previous Formula One World Championship season, which Martin
picked as a main background theme. Photographs are supported with
quotes that perfectly describe the people, situations and
atmosphere of a Grand Prix weekened.
The
exclusivity of this publication underlines also limited collector’s
edition style with circulation of 1000 copies only, all
numbered and personally signed by Martin Trenkler.
All this
creates for a first of a kind art book of Formula One. Foreword
for this book was done by Mark Webber, BMW.WilliamsF1 star driver.
Martin has been in close contact with Mark since the end of 2002
when he finished his first season with team Minardi. It was the
same year that Martin has finished his first professional year in
Formula One as a freelance photographer. He was only 19 years of
age. Till this day he's worked for Formula One Management of Bernie Ecclestone and various
magazines and web sites.
Formula One in
Pictures is an exclusive collector’s must for all the fans of F1
and high-quality photography.
"Martin
Trenkler’s first publication is a great reflection of the 2004
season and the people in the spotlight and behind the scenes. It’s
amazing how the really good F1 photographers capture so many
different situations, angles and atmospheres and can turn their
photos into real pieces of art. I personally know how hard Martin
has worked at his job and how he has grabbed every opportunity
given to him. He takes great pride in his approach to his
photography and the following pages illustrate how precise he can
be.
I hope
everyone enjoys the book and takes the time to study the subtle
details in every photo.”
Mark Webber,
BMW.WilliamsF1
