Capturing the Shot
The story behind “American Muscle” is built from three distinct layers of American identity.
First and foremost is the deep, spiritual bond between man and horse relationship that played a pivotal role in the settlement of the American West and the formation of the nation we cherish today. Secondly, the image celebrates the American mustang, symbolizing not only the horse but also the iconic muscle car. The mustang embodies an era when America was renowned for its industrial prowess and stood as a beacon of freedom and strength on the global stage.
Lastly, the location itself adds another layer of American pride. COTA, the Circuit of the Americas, holds the distinction of being North America’s first Formula One racetrack. Incorporating this setting into the image underscores our nation’s spirit of innovation and achievement.
