Standox has introduced its 2014 Pure Colour Calendar, featuring 12 stunning images by photographer Ralf Richter.

In the creation of the calendar, Richer said he wanted to explore the dynamic, fluid properties of paint and to create a new way to look at the coating. Working with a computer animation team, he first developed a series of highly complex animations from which he eventually picked the visuals.

The 12 images show cars being hit by large waves of liquid paint, while Richter experiments with unexpected perspectives and dimensions, using surreal lighting and many different colours, making the images unusual and appealing.

One image shows a wall of multi-coloured paint hitting a Range Rover at high speed, while another  shows a soft and tactile side of paint as it is captured wrapping itself around a Porsche 911, accentuating the car’s unmistakeable silhouette.

The images were created with advanced computer technology, which has been used in the making of films such as The Avengers and Ice Age 4. The full-motion visuals can be viewed at http://www.standox.com/cal14pr.

For more than 30 years Standox has commissioned internationally renowned photographers to produce the images for its limited-edition calendars. System Tools Plus members automatically receive a copy. A desktop version of the calendar is available to download free of charge in the downloads section at www.standox.co.uk.
