I am amazed that this kind of valuable information is just sitting FREE on KZread, let alone existing in general. As I'm working on my own portfolio for a future career in this field, you are a Godsend for posting this out here. Thank you brother for sharing your knowledge with us!

Love sharing it mate, so glad you are finding it helpful!

Done a lot of hobby car photography and your last tip came through me. I look at my insta and none of my photos where centered in my IG grid and other platform. Looked at some of the IG I follow they were most of the time all centered and visible... I think I finally discovered one major element that was wrong with my photos. Thanks!

Great tips! Love the channel!

Thanks for the great tips once again Alex. Always so easy to watch and the way you describe things.

I personally don't have an issue with composition, but this video was still nice to watch! My thing is trying to figure out how the hell professional retouchers edit. Most of my editing consists of playing with Lightroom sliders and only use Photoshop to remove sensor dust or to make some attempt at color correcting the car. Hell I'm even willing to pay to learn how to edit like a professional retoucher 😅

You should check out Moe Zainal on KZread and Instagram! Insane retoucher- I learned a lot from him.

An other point, use the different lines around the car to guide the eyes to the car, can be a brick wall, a center line on a road...

Awesome video! Quick (maybe not) question How would go about taking pictures of a semi truck and trailer? Especially since places to park, equipment, lighting and time are quite a bit more limited than in a car?

So how do you take cool photos of cars you see on the street? You don’t have control over where they’re parked or time of day for lighting so I wonder how you make it look good? Obviously either not posting to Instagram or if you do, making it explicitly clear it’s not your car

Pretty new photographer but when you’re shooting, do you want the car to be a little bit less exposed so you can edit it in later?

@sunnybunny1209

Жыл бұрын

I'm not a pro but generally yes, you would rather have the raw pics be underexposed (darker) instead of overexposed (lighter.) When editing, you can do a lot more and regain a lot more from dark shots vs light shots. The detail in overexposed parts of a photo cannot be regained, but underexposed parts can be edited so that you retain the details. Hope this helps!

Found a road that looks awesome for drone shots but it’s literally the run up to the major airport runway 😂

That’s the worst!

which car is this?

Im working for a leasing company that wants realistic looking photos for the website for customer transparency on what they are getting so heavy filtering is out of the question. The issue im having is finding a good lighting source that doesn't make the car look to glary or uneven lighting. Is there a specific type of lighting source or bulb types or something that would work for all vehicle colors and sizes?

@TheCarCreative

3 ай бұрын

Hmm… lighting is tough, and can be expensive. Depending on the location I’d try and find a shaded area that you don’t have to fight light? Also a CPL filter will help tremendously with glare and reflections on the cars. 👍🏼

@@TheCarCreative Yea its even harder because we HAVE to take them inside for production sake so when theres bad weather we can still produce 20+ car photos. The lighting of the room is different for each location but think of a mechanic garage bay. Theres also not always the option to turn the overhead lights off because other people are using the space for other work.
