Rounding up local Ferraris for celebrity photo shoot

This will be my last thread on the Scottsdale photo shoot -- but I am wondering who I should talk to in the local Scottsdale Ferrari community about rounding up some cars for a photo shoot. I'm looking to get 6 to 10 newer model high-end cars (e.g., Enzo (?), Ferrari 430, Lamborghini Murcielago, Aston Martin DB9, etc.) and/or some very high-end but slightly older cars (e.g., F40). The photo shoot will likely be at a local Scottsdale resort and will involve shooting a celebrity along with the cars. No driving (other than to and from the venue) is involved.

For a fee, are local dealerships pretty cooperative in allowing their cars to be used in photoshoots? Or is there a big enough base of individual F-chat enthusiasts to assemble a group of cars among F-chatters? Any other car club folks I should be speaking with?

As I believe I mentioned in my other thread, I was originally planning to do this photoshoot in Los Angeles. Now that the photoshoot is in Scottsdale next week (Tuesday or Wednesday), I don't know who to go to in order to round up 6 to 10 cars for the day. Again, any advice would be appreciated as I try to round up some nice cars on very short notice.

Thanks again,

Jeremy

 

Thanks everyone for the feedback on venues, cars, photographers, etc. It is proving helpful as we set things up.

We now have a professional photography crew in place, as well as two local venues for a half-day shoot.

I'm looking for volunteers who have late-model exotics to help me out. In addition to helping out a fellow F-Chatter, I'd like to do what I can to express my appreciation and make it something worth you doing. We are trying to get a number of exotics to one of two resorts in Scottsdale – they just need to be parked out front for about 5 to 6 hours next Tuesday or Wednesday.

If you are potentially interested in having your car in the shoot, please send me an e-mail or private message and I can give you more details on where it will be, who will be in it, and why it might be something you find worth doing.

I know most of you don’t know me since I’m not in the Scottsdale area, but you can always ask friends in the Southern California enthusiast community about me (I was active in Los Angeles before moving to Boston to attend business school).

I apologize for all of these postings, but the timing and location of this shoot changed at the last minute, so I’m sort of scrambling to pull things together in a city I don’t know. Again, I appreciate all of the help you’ve given me so far!

 

The shoot will be on Tuesday afternoon (Jan 3) at the Wrigley Mansion, and will feature a current Formula One driver. In case anyone is interested in helping out, we're still trying to round up a couple recent-year Ferraris (430/360/355 or 550/575). Cars could arrive / be dropped off anytime Tuesday AM and picked up Tuesday after 6PM. If anyone is willing to help out, we can talk on the phone over the weekend and meet in person sometime Monday, as I will be arriving in Scottsdale a day early.

 

We have Lamborghini, Aston Martin and Porsche represented, and may even get a Pagani Zonda. However, still looking for one or two Ferraris to round out the mix. As a token of our appreciation, we're paying $500 cash to whoever volunteers a car for 6 hours.
