Thanks a lot for what you’re doing! Not so many automotive photographers explain how they shoot. Very good and detailed explanation of the whole process. Timing looks good to me also. Would love to see more of your BTS with comments on technical side of things. Some additional questions: - Why have you decided to do this color grading with red/orange toning in shadows? - How would you shoot alone without any assistance (if you would)? - What is your advice if you need to shoot in the unfamiliar places without any possibilities for location scouting before actual shooting? - Do you usually use exposure bracketing when shooting with Canon or other low dynamic range cameras?

@ThePhotographyRebuttal

Hi Oleg. Thank you for your reply and comments. Glad to hear another viewer ok with my long videos! To answer your questions. - The main colours are Cyan, Orange, and Yellow - they are used to contrast with the car colour to make the car stand out. The red is to contrast against all of the main colours to simply balance the overall image. - I have shot without assistants before, but everything takes so much longer. So I always try to get an assistant. - Use google maps and street view to get as much information as possible. Also find the location on Instagram to see the most recent photos of the location in case something changed after the google photos were taken. - Yes I always try to bracket exposures on tripod unless when shooting handheld (rare) which makes bracketing impossible. Hope this helps. Please consider subscribing - thanks!

@@Paulpanly Thanks Paul, but my channel is set up for more professional-related topics, which is what I found missing amongst all the other KZread photography channels. I wouldn't say my gear is out-of-reach especially for this photo shoot. Canon DSLR, 24-70 lens, a laptop, 1 strobe are all common items. Even my assistant was essential - don't forget this was a real job with a real client on-set with us with a very tight schedule. Working without an assistant would have been too slow to make the deadline. Getting help is a huge asset and saves a ton of time while shooting. Friends come in handy ;-)

I have to say that it made me kinda sad and happy all at the same time to see that a commercial shoot like this is still done under such ridiculous conditions (no time, car is late, shooting in public spaces, etc.) Nevertheless, the results are absolutely fantastic!! As for the video....it was lovely to have a really long, detailed video, but that being said, a half hour video takes a lot of time to watch.

Hi Oliver and thanks for your comments. I understand that shorter videos are easier to watch (and believe me, much easier for me to make!), but I naturally lean toward going into details which cannot avoid the extra time it requires. Most comments are in favour so I will keep going. Yeah it was a tough shoot - perhaps not the best one to also film for KZread, but it's a Lambo so I figured the car alone was going to get more viewers than a less attractive car ;-)

This was great thank you for sharing and showing a behind the scenes process.

Loved all the information and tips in this video. I shoot architectural photography (but have started dabbling in car photography) and not having perfectly lined up shots from the front/rear/side drive me crazy. Your tip about the side view mirrors differing blew my mind. I have an alternative tip for lining up the straight-on photograph ... line the shot up against the tires, specifically the two tires furthest from the camera and their relationship to the other two (though this is quite a bit more challenging for such a low vehicle). Works for every 4-wheeled vehicle, also works for the sides + rear and relieves my anal retentiveness.
