car photoshoot ideas

Hey everybody I have an active military guy wanting pictures with his 79' Pontiac trans am. I was curious if any of you have done car photo shoots would post pictures to give some ideas. thanks and hope all is well.

To do it right you need two things I would say. First the right space. You need the room to work in and it needs to have a clean background.

Allen, I suspect the expectation is a photo of the owner, with his car in the shot, rather than the classic automobile showpiece, shot under a monster double-diffused softbox (as seen in the Corvette shot).

I know, right?!

Similar natural light to a very large soft box would be overcast and then just watch your backgrounds. The car is still the star. Get that right and everything else will fall into place.

When doing an environmental shoot, there are a couple of things I would remind you to take.

First and most importantly, a decent yard broom. It is so much easier to remove all the little stones, and cigarette butts from the scene. So much better than realising you really should have done it, and now have to colne them out.
