Car Photo Shoot?

Just out of curiosity, what is the best way for someone to go about having a photoshoot done of their car? I'm not looking for something sponsored by a company, but just something for my personal enjoyment.

Do people do this?

there are tons of people that do this here. talk to frank4cars, i can't do cars to save my life.

 

Dont be so hard on youself Tim. I know you can do it. JJ

 

There are lots of us who would love to do a photoshoot, some for free (like me) some for a price. What state do you live in? If you live near me I would do it. Otherwise check out the regional forums and ask around, I'm sure you'll find somebody willing.

 

I believe he is in Jersey?

 

I've been a pro photographer for 20+ years & do cars a lot. If you don't want to pay a pro, contact your local college art dept & see if there is a photography professor interested in using your car for a class project. Ok, it's bold but you will find some students who would love to do your car for cheap.

 

Thanks for all the info guys, it was all very helpful.

 

also (pro shooter here) watch your background... make sure nothing to pull the eye away from the car/ best is just at dusk/ and use a freekin tripod..

 

What kind of car do you have? Also your in NJ?

 

What he said.

Nothing is worse than seeing a beautiful car (or woman) composed brilliantly - along with the perfectly in-focus house, building or tree behind it. Also look at the car as a mirror - see anything in the reflection in the paint or windows you don't want to see ? Polarize it out. Do you need to bring a jack and adjust the wheels so the 'spokes' are all facing the same way (if applicable) ?
Also, do it at dusk, with the parking lights on.......

 

I'm from NJ and I was asking for my friend's dad who has a 911 930 Turbo.

 

Use a tripod, shoot low ISO, make sure there are no polls sticking out, use an interesting location.
