It‘s labour intensive, but a good polish before you head off will save hours of cloning later! When you arrive on location park it so the best background area is behind your car. A good tip is to angle the front wheels before shooting, so they‘re visible and give the car a more aggressive and pleasing stance.

When you‘re ready to shoot, a wide-angle lens will help you take in much more detail so don‘t be afraid to shoot from quirky angles. In fact, we encourage it!

Leave the camera in an Auto or Semi-auto mode so you can forget about exposure and concentrate on the best angles that will transform your daily driver into a work of art.
