the best way ive seen black cars shot was in strips and merged together. lights were bounced off white big cards and the reflection is captured on the black car. this helps bring out the body line and shape of the black car.

how your going to do that without a studio i have no idea.. if you figure it out let me know, haha

thanks man

i guess for the natural light shots i will take multiple exposures and overlay them in photoshop where its needed.

i dont think i can do much with the flash pictures.

i will definately update this thread after the shoot, if my camera doesnt fall off the rig i have made. lol.
