PortraitMichael Furman’s life-long love of photography has led to a thirty year professional career working for top automotive clients, magazines and books.

Michael’s specialty is in studio lighting and shooting pre-war coach built classics: Bugatti, Delahaye, Cord, DuPont, Franklin, Rolls-Royce, Voisin, Delage, Duesenberg, Bentley, Cadillac, Lincoln, Alfa Romeo, Mercedes-Benz, Packard, Auburn, Talbot-Lago… The list is extensive and always growing. Race cars, American ‘50’s cars (Chevy, Chrysler, Caddy, Hudson, Nash, Studebaker, Ford), sports cars (Porsche, Ferrari,
Lamborghini, Jaguar, Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, BMW) and modern dream cars extend the roster.

Michael’s first two books Motorcars of the Classic Era and Automobiles of the Chrome Age were released to critical and public acclaim. Speed, Style and Beauty, the Cars of the Ralph Lauren Collection was produced for the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston to coincide with their exhibition in the Spring of 2005. Latest titles include The Performing Art of the American Automobile which serves as the catalog for the Gateway Colorado Auto Museum, and Delahaye Styling and Design which was produced for the 2006 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. For 2007, Michael produced Curves of Steel which served as the catalog to the Phoenix Art Museum show of the same name. The Art and Colour of General Motors was released in September, 2008, to coincide with GM's 100th anniversary. All titles are available through www.CoachBuiltPress.com.
My staff and I photograph the fuel filler on the LeMans-winning 1936 Bugatti Type 57G "Tank" for my next title, The Spirit of Competition for the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum.
