SoCal BMW Photo Shoot / Pointers

[John Photography]

hello. i'm looking for someone who can shoot my car in the SoCal area. i am in the Chino Hills area, but willing to drive to a great location. i'm open as far as time/date. if you're able, kindly post some location ideas.

in addition, i am in the process of learning how to shoot. recently purchased a 5D. not only would i get great shots of my car, but hoping you wouldn't mind i shoot along side to learn further.

hey macfly, i'm in the LA area, although i havent gotten the chance to do any car shoots, but it sounds like fun. here are some car shot ideas. you can do a rolling shot from another car showing your car in motino perhaps driving through a tunnel? in a beach parking lot is always nice ,as well as under a well lite parkinglot at night.

then theres always the urban city shots, park your car somewhere in downtown LA at night, and set yourself up with a long exposure shot. just some ideas.

The ride is great, I cant wait till the sun comes out and I can clean the car and take some pics myself.

Im up for a shoot MacFly. Im not a car shooter kind of person but im sure we could pull it off. Afterwards maybe we could do a little matchup against my little 4 cylinder mitsubishi evo junk ;). A little highway pull if you'd like.

Im out in Rancho Cucamonga. Maybe we can shoot out to Long Beach for some old industrial backgrounds.
