David Perry's photographs have been published, collected, and exhibited worldwide. He is the author of Hot Rod Pin-Ups, Billy F Gibbons: Rock n Roll Gearhead, Hot Rod Kings, and the best-selling Hot Rod calendar, all from MBI Publishing.
"...when it comes to photography of the female form justaposed with
cold steel, David Perry is in a class of his own. The Californian
has been responsible for the finest work in its genre with a
collection of books that strip away the glitz and in his latest
offering 'Hot Rod Pin-Ups II - Gearhead Girls and Dragstrip Dolls',
Perry delivers seriously sensual material. Cars like a 1953
Oldsmobile Rocket and selection of Ford A models, to a
bullet-riddled 1937 Plymouth Five-Window form the backdrop to some
provocative poses. But where Perry really scores is with the way he
conveys the improbable reality that not only are these girls
comfortable in rusted roadsters and cluttered chop shops, at
deafening drag strips and on dusty dry lakes, but that there's no
place they would rather be." - Mike Torpey, Dumfries and Galloway
Standard
"The pin-ups, all female, are sexier, the cars are sometimes
visible, text is sparing, so are the clothes." - Yorkshire Post "So
there it is - justification for publishing a book of amazing
photographs - it just so happens they are of beautiful women and
beautiful automobiles, both objects of desire. Each chapter has an
accompanying script by guest writers - to take your mind off the
pictures, no doubt..." Harris Dee, Somerset County Gazette "The
captivating images are accompanied by a foreword on the
sexualisation of automobiles in American culture by the acclaimed
visual artist Coop, as well as commentary from various respected
hot rod scribes, proving that men, motors and the appeal of the
scantily clad lady may be nothing new, but shows not sign of
slowing down." - Rhalou Allerhand, Forum "...when it comes to
photography of the female form juxtaposed with cold steel, David
Perry is in a class of his own." - Ayrshire Post "But when it comes
to taking photographs of the female form juxtaposed with cold
steel, then David Perry is in a class of his own." - Liverpool
Daily Post "...Hot Rod Pin-Ups II remains a visual feast for lovers
of all things hot rod." - Auto Express "Since time immemorial
there's been a synonymy between hot rods and girls and this latest
publication featuring the renowned photography of David Perry is
crammed full of some of his best work." - Custom Car "Look at
Amber! Dude, no, check out that Bethany! Or how about Riika? And
that Vanessa, man! She's smoking! Yeah, man! That's how it went,
for hours. Pages were turned, paper torn, drool buckets filled up.
By the time I got back for this review, the book looked like it had
been through hell." - Doc Z, RebelRodz
