Martin Heath, one of the world’s leading MotoGP photographers is releasing two of his most celebrated images of Valentino Rossi as limited edition canvas prints; The Pass and VR46 Elbow Down that will certainly be must for any hardcore Rossi fan and not only.
These two 12”x16” full bleed canvas prints, will be limited to just 20 each – numbered and signed by the photographer himself, and as Heath stated, “I get lots of enquiries from people wanting to purchase my work, so I wanted to give something back to the fans this year at Christmas and make it affordable but at the same time very collectable and unique.
Hence, this one-off offer to celebrate Valentino’s Yamaha Years that have brought me great pleasure and many photographic memories.
”The Pass ‘The Pass’ – Possibly the MotoGP racing moment of the 2010 season in what MCN has dubbed the Race of the Year.
Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo clash during the closing stages of round 14 at Motegi, and Martin was once again ‘In the right place at the right time’, to capture this memorable scene.
The win had gone away from the two Yamaha riders, but pride was at stake for the final step on the podium.
Determined to stamp his authority over the champion elect, Rossi forced his way through in an epic last lap battle to claim third.
VR46 Elbow Down shows an image of The Doctor during the qualifying session at Catalunya in 2009, and is the only time that Rossi has been snapped with his Dainese leather-clad elbow dragging along the asphalt.
“The nine-times world champion liked the image so much that it became his mobile phone wallpaper!” ‘VR46 Elbow Down’ and ‘The Pass’ are available from Martin Heath Photography, priced at £90 (US$139, €106) each plus p&p.
