Chrysler 200 Convertible photographer miffed at leak, goes on Facebook rant


Creative talent can be a tricky thing. An artist can take control of their work if they keep it secret, but the moment they sell their talents for a paying customer, well, things can get a bit ugly. So you get stories of artists reclaiming paintings sold them because they did not go as people looking for them, or writers walk out of movie sets in the direction of its writer have incensed. What is common in artistic circles or in Hollywood, but not getting much in the automotive industry. Not much, but it happens.
Take, for example, a Webb Bland, leaked to the photographer behind the recent photos of the new 2012 Chrysler 200 convertible. A nice set of shots, to be sure, but Bland has gone on an absolute tirade on his Facebook page, furious that the photos were leaked ahead of schedule to the outside. In his anger at Bland suggested his client Chrysler and the "lone, misguided idiots" who leaked the photos so ruined "five weeks of careful planning and logistics."
Bland anger, but not for its customers but reserved, he goes to the "many car blogs, running [the] already many of the photos have awkward beat without clipping context or back story, and in a terribly compressed resolution, on top of that." Hey we are! You must (written what we get for you after the jump at the shooter second opinion) the full diatribe, all swear words, we have omitted get, but while read - for our part at least - we re "not to Bland involved in his ranting , we can not help but wonder if he ever heard the old saying: ". Choose not buy the fight with someone of the ink by the barrel" From NotBland Automotive Photography on Facebook
Thanks entirely to a lonely, misguided idiots somewhere outside of the fantastic marketing team at Chrysler, many of my photos leaked online yesterday, weeks meticulously planned in advance of the unveiling. destroyed five weeks of careful planning and logistics of the crew in a moment, from a selfish arrogant douchebag, got a hold of the digital files from the CEO, was established to review the images.
Today was the marketing team the green light * * officially unveil the photos were leaked, and five other exclusive unseen images, complete with the official launch of the new car. So, while I for the world to see my newest set'm excited, it's damn annoying that so many cars have blogs already run many of the photos clumsy, without clipping context or back story, and in a terribly compressed resolution, to boot. At the time of writing this, do not have very many pages, the new release yet, as my fans are running, you get a real world exposure to some of the photos.
Rage-inducing leak aside, I hope you all enjoy my latest set. A very special thank you to the amazing Will Star for suffering three early morning cold cold wind with me, as my chief lighting technician trade all three days of filming. And of course the great four-man driver / crew detailing of prestige cars for their expertise in the area, could not many places we use have found without them.
