Default 2008 IS-F Brochure is now here!

I got my copy of the 2008 Lexus IS-F brochure today directly from Lexus. It's a 16 page layout taken all in California. Some of the shoot locations ranged as far north as Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, the Mojave Desert at Willow Springs and Downtown LA.

The production team of the IS-F brochure was first class. The photography team that did the photoshoot came all the way from Germany. They have worked all over the world including working with other European car makers. The most notable one was with BMW M line. Being most of the crew was from Germany, they all drove BMW back in their homeland! LOL. It was interesting to see how the photos were taken and how they quickly made it to their computers to edit just a few moments later.

Sanseigs43 and myself were present during the Downtown LA photoshoot. We also had input on a few pages of the brochure. I will post my pictures of the night of that photo shoot shortly as well as the pages from this brochure.

Late night on a weekend in Downtown LA. I do have pics of the crew taking pics of the IS-F but I cannot publish them. I can however show you what I took whenever I see you all.

Here are the pics of our cars from that night:

I'm proud to say I helped with the selection of some of the photos and layout in the brochure including some verbage. The photoshoot in Downtown LA was alot of fun. It was defintely an experience.

From these photos, the silver looks better than the USB honestly. Thanks for the pics, I'll pick up a copy next time I go in to service.

Silver cars are alot easier to photograph than most colors. That's why you see alot of ads with silver cars.
