6D + Tamron 24-70mm VC, handheld. 2 large silver reflectors to add some pop to the driver's side panels.

I would've used one of the reflectors on the back, too. It's pretty dark back there.
Also, the camera is too low.

The light fall-off is intentional to create a spotlight effect and a high degree of contrast on the car itself. More reflectors could possibly create a bland end product.

I did photos with the camera at various heights and angles, but this suits my personal tastes best. Certainly not the type of shot you would use for a car dealership, but gets the job done for an "ink and tattoos" restoration shop. It conveys attitude, and placing the car this prominently in the frame gives a majestic feel to a vehicle.

The glint in the windshield is a nice touch.

Thanks, and I sincerely appreciate all input on the photo. I'm new to the car realm, my specialty is nature photography.

I expect my photos to be a little crude at this point, and I hope to learn from those who specialize in this field.
