 Not a photo in the background. What looks like a road in the background though is actually just a footpath. They say a picture is worth a thousand words so this should explain it.

The driver is a small doll with its hair cut and painted. I had to stick a flashlight in the car and shine it out through the trunk because the bottle was too dark otherwise. Thanks!

If you like pictures of models, check out this guy Michael Paul Smith. Someone posted a link in the forums a while back, but it's definitely worth a second look.

We need the details for this one :-) Great shot, dying to know exactly how it was done. Is that a huge, promotional prop-bottle for Absolut, or a very tiny car? I am presuming the former, but...

Nice shot. Is that a photo in the BG?
