Finch Studio

This levitating FJ40 image was from Andy Rasheed's (Eyefood photography) very first shoot in the Finch Studio's black wall photographic studio. Shooting this disassembled Toyota FJ40 created a number of unique opportunities for Andy.

"There is something beautiful about utility when the facility of the object dictates the design language" said Andy. Over the years Andy has come to admire the FJ’s design in all of its functional boxiness.

The FJ40 components were beautifully refinished in high gloss by Finch Restorations and, even in pieces, most people would be able to guess what the complete car might be.

The FJ40's owner is passionately undertaking his own restoration project and commissioned Finch Restorations to support his project by repairing and refinishing the FJ40's chassis and body, and body components.

Many thanks to David Copperfield for his elevation work whilst Andy went about his art …
