I see these things all the time, its like they get a car, a model slap them together and take some pics. generally speaking its a pretty straight forward shoot. in these situations we cant expect the models to know everything about what they are shooting for, same with the photographer taking the shots, hell we could even excuse the modified vehicle owner as some people pay to get their car upgraded and dont know how to swing a tool or work on a car.
However... someone is producing this imagery for a reason, be it to sell a product, or feature in a magazine/blog, etc... THEY should know what they are doing, what is correct and what is not, surely SOMEONE would know that this is ridiculous and should have caught it and yet... here we are.
So as i catch these fantastic failures of mechanical imagery i will be posting them up for a bit of a laugh...
