(3,827 posts)You never know when inspiration will strike. For Chicago-based professional photographer Freddy Fabris, it happened when he stumbled into an auto repair shop while helping his friend get his car fixed.
"Because of my painting background I've always wanted to re-create classic masterpieces, but I knew that in order to create something that would create a new dialogue on an old subject, there had to be a twist," Fabris says.

The answer came on an otherwise ordinary day in an ostensibly ordinary place.
"By chance, I entered this shop where a friend of mine would take his car for repairs, and I fell in love with it immediately. There was this perfect balance of grease, stuff, chaos, and reality. Probably for the common eye it was just a messy car shop. To me, it was a set ready to go."
