I love how low budget marketing materials used to be for big companies.
“We just built an expensive, hand made concept car, how should we photograph it?”
“Cut out a flimsy cardboard sign and put some generic stick- on letters and tape it to the same curtains your elementary school used on the little stage in the cafeteria, oh, and do one parked in the driveway of a suburban rancher”.
“But, isn’t this supposed to be an aspirational product? Shouldnt we do something like at a yacht marina, or in front of a mansion?”
“Nah"
