This black-and-white photograph shows the rear of a sports car, a Ferrari F40, from a low camera angle. The vehicle dominates the centre of the photo and is seen from behind. The lighting is soft and emphasises the details and contours of the car. The car has a prominent, large rear wing and a distinctive slat structure on the bonnet.
The number plate is centrally placed and bears the text "RE4P3R", which can have a personal or symbolic meaning, such as 'Reaper'. The rear lights are visible and round, typical of this model. The rear bumper is minimalist and the exhausts are placed on the sides, although they are difficult to distinguish due to the light. The rear windows also feature slats, giving an aggressive and aerodynamic look.
The background is dark and hazy, suggesting that the car is in an indistinct, surrounding environment. The hazy background ensures that the focus is entirely on the car. The photo's grainy texture and black-and-white processing give it a classic, raw and timeless feel.
