Video: How a pro photographs a priceless Porsche 917

On top of running a restoration shop, Bruce Canepa sells very nice cars. To sell them, he needs very nice pictures. That's why he has a photography studio in his shop. Porsche Panorama photographer Michael Alan Ross held a workshop there a while back, where attendees learned photo techniques on the 1970 Daytona 24-winning Porsche 917K - the first Porsche to win overall in a 24-hour race - among the many other vehicles at Canepa.
We speak to Bruce about the 917 and the photo studio in this video, as well as watch some in-car vintage race footage at Laguna Seca. Following that, we learn a few photography dos and don'ts from Ross. We think this is the best way to get a lesson in history and photography, Porsche 917-style.
