René Staud and his STAUD STUDIOS realize global campaigns and image films for clients from the area of automotive. Over the past five years, the studio has developed to become a holistic communications service provider, who produces everything starting with the strategy through conception down to realization for all media platforms. “30 years of experience with the biggest and most demanding automotive brands have built and shaped our work to achieve the same level of performance we find today in the industry we serve. We know as much about cars as we do about communication. We think cars, we speak cars, we are cars,” says the family business. They also elegantly stage modern vehicles, classic cars or old-timers for magazines and books. Now published by teNeues Verlag is a Staud Studios classic in a smaller edition. These allows readers to absorb the aura of a true British classic.

For the fiftieth anniversary of James Bond in 2012, two icons came together who jointly epitomize the very essence of British coolness. In Skyfall, Daniel Craig, as agent 007, powered across the screen in an Aston Martin DB5, the very same thrilling six-cylinder that Sean Connery drove in Goldfinger. Meanwhile, Aston Martin has celebrated a milestone birthday. In the century since it was founded by Robert Bamford and Lionel Martin on January 13, 1913, the house has created a portfolio that ranges from the Le Mans-winning DB2 to 2013’s Vanquish.

René Staud has now captured Aston Martin’s elegant luxury cars in photographic form. As in his bestselling books on the Mercedes 300 SL and the Porsche 911, Staud transforms automobile photography into a sensual experience and The Aston Martin Book allows readers to absorb the aura of a true British classic. We have a glimpse here on GoSee.
