TOP TIPS
Check The Reflections On The Car Bodywork
Open Space
If you can, try to position the care so there is open space behind you. Try to avoid shooting where there are buildings or trees in front of the car.
Show Off The Lines
The most important thing you want to display in your car snaps is the beauty of her design. Have you ever heard of the phrase "It has nice lines'?! Well this is your chance to show them off! Beware that reflections spoil these lines quickly - so be mindful of this when taking your pic.
Take A Unique Shot
Not At Eye-Level
Avoid shooting at eye level where possible. Work some new angles into the frame. Take at floor level, this will make car look dramatic and give impact. This works especially well for closeup shots. It is easy to fall into the trap of always shooting at eye level. We realise this feels like the most natural starting point but it is also the least flattering angle for a car. You either go high or go low. Use a ladder or step-stool for the high angles.
Take the LOW Road!
Look At The Landscape
If you notice there is an interesting sky formation (think summer nights), this can be a great way to add additional interest to the shot.
Light Them Up!
Why not turn on the headlights while shooting, it will give a stronger image. Daytime or at night, work the brights!
