I used to write a motoring section for a style magazine in Israel: 8-12 pages a month and the rule was that each piece had to start on a two-page full-color spread.
The house photographer was a guy called Micha Kirshner: among others, he did work for Gideon Oberson and Gotex. We were on a shoot one day and I was saying to him how it was easy enough doing cars for this format, but how could we illustrate - for example - an article about tires?
I don't remember all he did. I recall him hanging a tire off a stand, backlighting it, tracking the camera past the tire with a long exposure. Anyway the result was this amazing picture reminiscent of a catherine-wheel firework.
I figure if you can work wonders with a tire, there's no limit to what you can do with more photogenic material
