Transcript
This is a reference good, how to take better pictures with cars. The car is an incredible tool to make great images, and here are all my best ideas. Shoot your subject's legs better out of the car. It conveys mystery. Put your subject on top of the car. It conveys rebellion. Use mirrors to create visual drama, but pro tip, bring a zoom lens. Fill up the tank. Cindy Crawford pumps her own gas in her editorials. For what it's worth, I've shot that a couple of times. Use headlights as a spotlight. That top shot, it was in vogue. Or flip them and use it as ambient light. This is the peak use case for a diffusion filter. Use the window frame for an interesting angle or play with the angles of a door frame. Sit in the back bad and shoot forward, whether it's people in the front row or through the windshield. This one's mine, and I think it turned out great. Use the trunk to your advantage better on it or in it. If it's good enough for an Alexander Wayne campaign, it's probably good enough for you and me. But listen up. Possibly tier most gangster territory of all this is coincidentally the bane of the family road trip. Yep. The back seat. It is magical. This photo right here is one of my favorites I've ever shot. Shoot it with flash, shoot it with natural light, doesn't matter. Use the front seats to obscure part of the frame. Shoot it through the back windshield. You name it. There's so many options. Some of you may be thinking, I don't have a cool car. In PSA, it doesn't matter if you have a cool car. Here's what I mean. Does your car have a door and a windshield? You could shoot these. Does your car have a window and a mirror? You could shoot these. Now go get tier. Shoot something awesome. But before you do, bookmark this dang video. Otherwise, you may be cursed to a lifetime of not taking bad photos with cars. Later.
