Those year 11 media classes coming in real handy 🤝 Campaigns and creative shoots at a bare minimum require: - Shot lists - Styling - Good communication and direction - Adaptability - And most of all, a vision. Is there anything else you'd add? 🤔 #CreativeDirection #Marketing #Advertising #ArtDirection

Choose the right location: Select a background that matches the style and era of your classic car. Historical districts, industrial areas, deserts, or beaches can create an atmosphere that corresponds to the car's era. Consider lighting: Choose the best time of day for shooting. Sunrise and sunset usually provide soft, beautiful lighting ideal for creating striking photos. Avoid shooting in the harsh midday sun, which can create strong shadows. Add style elements: Incorporate style elements that help accentuate the beauty and character of your car. These could be period-appropriate accessories such as vintage clothing, retro accessories, or even models to evoke the era. Experiment with angles and composition: Use different angles and compositions to create interesting and dynamic shots. Try shooting from various perspectives: low, high, side, back, and front to showcase the car from different angles. Tell a story: Try to create a narrative around your car, telling its origin, adventures, and unique features. It could be a series of photos documenting a road trip with the car or its ownership history. Examples of successful shots: Motion shots: Photos of a classic car in motion can convey a sense of speed and dynamics. These could be shots of the car on the road, capturing its movement and energy. Detail shots: Close-up shots focusing on specific details of the car, such as the grille, headlights, or interior, can highlight its unique features and craftsmanship. Environment shots: Photos of the car in its environment, whether it's parked in front of a historic building, amidst a scenic landscape, or in an urban setting, can add context and visual interest to the image. Portrait shots: Shots featuring the car alongside its owner or driver can add a personal touch to the photoshoot, capturing the relationship between the owner and their beloved classic car. By following these tips and drawing inspiration from successful examples, you can create memorable and visually stunning photoshoots with classic cars that capture their timeless beauty and charm. #ClassicCars #VintageCars #AntiqueCars #ClassicCarLovers #RetroCars #ClassicCarShow #Oldtimer #ClassicCarCommunity #ClassicCarRestoration #ClassicCarCulture #ClassicCarCollection #VintageAutomobiles #ClassicMotors #HeritageCars #ClassicCarPhotography #TimelessClassics #ClassicCarLife #ClassicCarPassion #ClassicCarFans #HistoricVehicles

5 Common Mistakes in Used Car Photography (and How to Fix Them!)  Selling used cars online? The quality of your photos can make all the difference! We know that high-quality images attract more buyers, build trust, and help cars sell faster. Here are the 5 biggest photography mistakes we see—and our tips on how to fix them: 🚫 1. Poor Lighting Problem: Shadows and reflections can hide important details. ✅ Solution: Aim for soft, natural light in early morning or late afternoon for the best results. 🚫 2. Limited Angles Problem: Skipping key angles can make the car look incomplete. ✅ Solution: Capture exterior shots from all sides, plus interior and feature close-ups, include the (clean) engine bay too! 🚫 3. Cluttered Backgrounds Problem: Busy backgrounds distract from the car and look unprofessional. ✅ Solution: Choose a clean, neutral background to make the car stand out. 🚫 4. Blurry, Low-Quality Images Problem: Blurry or low-res photos make the car appear low-quality. ✅ Solution: Use a high-res camera, ideally 12MP or higher, and steady the camera to keep your shots crisp and clear. 🚫 5. Neglecting Unique Features Problem: Missing out on close-ups of valuable features like wheels, sunroofs, or touchscreen panels. ✅ Solution: Highlight unique details that make the car desirable! Investing time to avoid these mistakes can take your listings from average to outstanding! Better photos = more buyer interest and quicker sales 🚗💨 Looking to master car photography?

💥 How we combined people and automotive in a engagement driven shoot 👇 Automotive, Technology and People are terms that on the first view differ from each other. But they are interlinked like few other terms we use. There are no cars without people, there is technology in every car, and most societies today are car-driven. But how do you combine these three? We often face the challenge to portray a feeling, a service or a "mood" in our pictures, because the client wants us to show how the people in the picture feel. We work a lot with the right lightning, styling and color combinations to portray identity in still photography. 📸 But, at the end, if you find someone that really likes the car or the product you are trying to sell, the pictures turn out more natural. In this shoot for BMW Group, we succeeded in showcasing the genuine please in using iDrive. Still the best infotainment system on the market! #Photography #Art #BMW #Shoot #Magazine
