Thanks so much for watching! Ask me a question here in the comments and I'll add it to the list for the 10K Q&A!
Love watching your edits. Really makes the features of Lightroom more digestible.
I really enjoy the way you explain how to edit photos. Despite being pretty garbage at editting and having medioce photography skills, a lot of what you share on your channel helped me understand where I could and want to improve on when it comes to composition and editting. Thank you keep it up dude!!
It was really dope how you used the graduated filter to accentuate the light coming into the warehouse man! Good job! Btw, you're really good at doing these kinda tutorials. I've done my 3d and still trying to figure out how I can do this the best way possible, it really isn't easy.. haha
Awesome tutorial, you've helped my editing quite a bunch!

I'm a big fan of your work!❤️ I have a small question: does the sharpness of the outlines of the car (as you showed with the green Lamborghini at the start) depend upon a full-frame or crop-sensor camera or is it related to the lenses that one uses or just the camera settings can work the magic?
I did a shoot with a huracan a few weeks ago aswell, I’d be interested to see what your edit comes out like. One of the shots is my profile pic 👌 Great content btw, this video helped me to focus on my lighting. 👍

I'm convince your channel will blow up in no time! I'm learning more than ever. Currently just a few months into this hopefully prosperous and long car photography / videography journey myself. As for my question; This might be a bit personal (?), but do you do this full time, and what did you do before this. Are you self-taught or did/do you work with something related? Much love man❤️

How do you market your photography and get new clients? Thanks for the video by the way
Hey! I think a really cool video idea would be to take a look at your followers' Instagrams and choose some favorite shots. it would be fun to take a look at how other people shoot while also helping out your followers a little by providing some exposure. That would be a lot of fun to watch... plus if you were to do this... I am a 17-year-old FL car photog @Radiant_Studios and you are my #1 inspiration in this hobby!

Do shoots for free until people start asking how much you charge.
Sweet video! My question is, how do you market yourself to get paid shoots? I invest a lot of time and money in my gear, social media presence, and obviously my car photography to a professional extent, and people enjoy my work. However they get turned off when I offer them a rate. How can I go about expecting a paid shoot? Thanks!

Question: I just stared car photography as a hobby, i got a Canon EOS 90D because i heard it was good for everything i may want to do, like video. Do you think this is a good camera for cars given that it has a cropped sensor, or should i trade it for the Canon EOS R? Thanks, your videos have helped me alot.

Always enjoy your content dude. I got some suggestion,try shooting more nissan GTR & Toyota Supra mk4. put it in the thumbnail & title(important).booth car has high success rate in my experience. At least in my country. It will boost your sub & view. I have done it with client before multiple times. so far, old legendary car gain more views than newer supercar because the old car already has loyal fan boys. loyal fan boys usually share it on group & more popular in any search engine. It will spread faster than the car. keep the awesome content dude !

Hey man can we get a link for the raw files for practicing?
Your vids are awesome. Maybe TOO awesome! I’m noticing more and more people taking their own pics because of channels like this. It’s further saturating an already saturated scene of car photographers especially if you’re in a place like Los Angeles. So I’m noticing a lot of people who are just starting undercutting prices shooting for cheap or even for free! I’ve been shooting cars privately for owners for about 2 1/2 years but have been feeling super burned out because everyone can just take their own pics or get them for cheap. I feel like I’m not good enough to keep up sometimes. So my question is...How do you stay motivated and keep pushing yourself to the next level in such a competitive environment?

I have a grey car can i still make it moody like this? I feel like everything is too grey
1) How to reduce glare other than a CPL Filter? I see people take the cleanest pics but theyre in a parking garage or somewhere with a lot of lights. Is it photoshop? 2) How do you take a clean night photo of a car? 3) How big is the difference you saw when upgrading to the A7 from the A6500? 4) If you could go back in time, what would you tell yourself when you were just starting out doing automotive photography? 5) How to get clients starting out, how to get Instagram engagement ? 6) I see dealerships with not the best photos, a lot of light glare on their cars, not detailed pictures...How should I approach them to do work for them? 7)Sometimes my edits look "fake." Do you have any tips to make the photos look realistic, buy stylish at the same time?

The way I build my presets, I select very specific parts of the edit that I add to the tone, or the curve, and also adding filters separate from the tone and colour. Makes it more stackable, and more fun!
