Four guys from the SW region of the SXOC (which I'm rep for) were invited along for a studio session to build up the photographer's portfolio. He's branching out into car photography...

Here's the results of mine. :D







The other guys' photos are here (click on SXOC).

Looks heavily photoshopped though.

The shots may have been 'tidied-up' a bit, but not heavily. The cars did actually look that good in the studio and the photos are a fairly true representation. Get the right lighting conditions and angles and its amazing the difference it makes. To give you an idea, they spent an hour and a half setting-up and taking those six shots of my car... :eek:

A comment from the photographer

the only work i do in photoshop is to fix problems caused by the state of the floor, stands/tripod reflecting in body panels/bumpers, and the limited dynamic range of the camera (boring stuff about tone rendition). the cars look like that in the pics because... that's how they look! a combination of well prepped cars and admittedly flattering lighting - a harsher light would show up more flaws and look more like reality - plus the pic's on t'internet are tiny and use less colours. the reason it took so long is that i'm still learning... last week we came up with some techy camera stuff that'll save lots of editting time :) oh and we're going to get a set of go-jaks, that will make setting up a lot quicker/easier - thanks to christian i think it was who mentioned those.

Lol. I'd just driven it 50 miles in the pouring rain to get to the studio, and had to wash it while it was still pissing down. :rolleyes: Had to chamois it off inside...

I know what you mean, I'm a photographer as well and it's amazing what can be done with just lights in the right spots. Before the days of digital and computers we had to get the light to do all the work like Nicely's mate has done. Now a lot of people just photoshop the crap out of everything.

Well, if you're stuck, send your images (keep them around 600 pixels on the longest side and under 150KB each) to me and I'll host them. Then you can post them :)
