Review Quotes

"Waiting For The Sun To Go Down brings a new perspective to car photography. By using shadow and natural sunlight in a variety of different ways, the images become more vivid and a little bit ominous." -- Jalopnik.com

"McCauley manages to make the cars appeal to fans not because of their features but because of the settings, photography composition, lighting, and surroundings. Readers see the light presentation first of the images before the car model. Sometimes, the vehicles appear as if they were peeking from their shadows, about to speed away. Other times, they stay immobile, frozen in time before the night falls, giving McCauley the chance to document them in the kind of light he seeks." -- designboom
