What's your favorite "angle to photograph a car"!?

Discuss...

My favorite angle is probably the front 3/4...it shows the front and the side/wheels. It's the most dramatic to me.

Me, too.

I believe every car has its own angle. I have been modeling cars and rendering cars for about 7 years now and what I have learned is every car has its own unique beautiful feature. You need to look around the car to find it and then a way to show it. Some cars have sharp body lines and others have very soft lines which don't stand out as much. That's why I believe an average 3/4 view might not do every car justice. I am sure it can be a great starting point, but it still needs to be altered according to the subject.

Just my 2cents.

When a really good profile is done, that is what gets me going

Slowly becoming a new favorite of mine:

While I agree with this... and I certainly do shoot all around the car... seems that my favorite shots have been LOW (laying on the ground) front 3/4 shots...

Mine personally is from the front grill/headlight level, right in the middle with a wideangle lens. Puts it RIGHT IN YOU FACE.

Sorry I don't have an image to show my example.

I'm partial to a headlamp level front 3/4 with a long lens, usually.

really like #2! That's about my favorite angle!

This is a great angle, not one usually taken!

I don't think I have a preferred angle to photograph a car, I let the car 'tell' me (as nuts as that sounds). Much like what RedStarCG said.

Thxs, i like it cause it shows the fitment of the wheels.

I like side angles to, I really like the contrast of this shot.

I'm just a beginner at shooting cars, but I like to get either really high or really low - the types of shots where having a 60D with a swivel screen would actually come in handy. OR, ya know, just lay on the ground. If you shoot cars from normal standing perspective, they definitely aren't as impactful. Sometimes I think I tilt too much though hahahah
