First thing i learned photographing a car. If you plan to photograph a car, think about getting polarizing filter. If you plan to photograph a black shinny car, don't think, get a polarizing filter. This thing reflects everything, a lot. You can probably see me in every shot here, on some photos in multiple reflections 😁

Second thing i learned photographing a car, it is kinda like taking portraits. It has the nicer side, there are angles that are more flattering, there are go to poses (front, 2/3 front, 1/3 front, profile shot, the position of the rims...). In some cases it is harder than portraits as it will not move by itself to change the pose. On the other hand, it can hold the pose forever.

Third thing i learned photographing a car is that i don't have an eye for recognizing all that mentioned in the point no 2. It is probably a thing of practice, and i didn't photograph a lot of cars. So who knows, maybe i will learn.

First i thought this would be a nice place for a shot, realized right away that the trees are to close and the car looks like it has camo paint, not black paint.
