Techniques, tips, tricks and hacks for shooting better photos of cars. It's time to up your automotive photography game!
. Shoot at the right time of day
This is by far the most common mistake people make when shooting cars. The best time to shoot will be a few minutes after sunset or a few minutes before sunrise. Use a tripod and get that perfect soft light on the paint! This photo was taken for Top Gear a few minutes before sunrise.
2). Be on the lookout for reflections
You must very careful of what reflects in the car. Have a look around you and look closely at the car and see what reflects on its surface. A car especially a new shiny one is like a mirror. Try and have an open space behind you like a field. Try and avoid shooting with buildings or trees behind you. One of the most important things you want to show in your car pictures are the design lines of the car, or as I like to call it, ‘her curves’. Reflections can spoil these curves.
