- Culture photographer, Mark Riccioni, captures transformative Rolls-Royce motor car
- Phantom ‘Gentleman’s Tourer’ challenges expected codes of automotive luxury
- ‘Phantom Off-duty’ photography and motor car to be exhibited at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars London from 1-8 March
Patrons of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars connect with the marque as an
enabler to create symbolic expressions of their lifestyles. In doing
so, these thought leaders work in collaboration with the brand to
expand and challenge recognised notions of luxury.
One particular Rolls-Royce Phantom, dubbed by its commissioning
patron as the ‘Gentleman’s Tourer’, embodies this spirit. A standard
Wheelbase model driven solely by the owner himself, it pursues an
indisputably modern, urban aesthetic: a deeply personal vision that
displays a refreshing irreverence towards the expected codes of
automotive luxury.
Witnessing the ‘Gentleman’s Tourer’ at the Geneva motor show,
automotive culture photographer, Mark Riccioni, voiced a desire to
capture this significant motor car in a fashion befitting of its
spirit: disruptive, imperious and unapologetically contemporary.
Having gained the owner’s permission through the brand, Riccioni chose
to shoot his images in London, visiting a series of locations that
reflect the zeitgeist that informed the commissioning patron’s vision
for his motor car. Rolls-Royce will exhibit Riccioni’s work at a
special ‘Phantom Off-duty’ exhibition at its Berkeley Square
dealership in London.
Torsten Müller Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor
Cars, said, “Luxury is deeply personal; it is shaped by cultural codes
and an individual’s personal philosophy. ‘Gentleman’s Tourer’ is a
truly unique expression of these principles, formed in one of the
world’s most exhilarating cities – the capital of our home market,
London. I am delighted that Mark Riccioni has so effectively captured
the spirit in which this motor car was commissioned and that we are
able to share these images with the public.”
The images will be on display at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars London,
15 Berkeley Square, London, W1J 6EG from March 1 to 8, accompanied by
the ‘Gentleman’s Tourer’, kindly on loan from its owner.
