Art Director: Nathalie Spiel
Assistant: Moritz von Luepke

Needless to say this is one of my favourite shoots ever.
The layouts asked for a South American landscape, red coffee beans (just before harvest)and latino, but not indian looking people. After some research we decided on Peru.
They are currently paving a 100 mile road over a 4500 meter pass, leading from the high planes into the jungle. I think it might be ready just around 2010. Car photographers make a note!
