Up for a free photoshoot?

[gaith]

i would like to shoot a few audis in the next few months to polish up my photography/retouching talents.... i am a professional designer/photographer, but i have never shoot cars before. most of my work has been portraits.....

so, to anyone that is interested, here is what i was thinking:
1. send me the following info: first name, location, contact info, any pict of your car. (or post images on this thread)
2. i will choose 2 or 3 cars
3. still scouting locations in the bay area
4. i will retouch and work on the files
5. then upload the results to AZ and you get to keep the high res files
6. i do not want any money for this (as i am fine tuning my talents, but maybe some kind of appreciation would be nice: be creative) and in return, you would not delete my digital signature on the final images.

note: i will only be shooting exterior shots. any location ideas are welcomed. would probably happen on a friday, or a weekend. i will be using these photos for my portfolio. expect to be getting a few picts out of the entire session, not a ton of images.

what do you guys think?

UPDATE: there will be heavy post production... so if you dont like apple aperture and adobe photoshop being applied to your car, please do not be part of this! i dont want to deal with comments later on.

"all the beauty queens step up" LOFR!!!

Good one!!!

They should all get out and sing the song "Dancing Queen" inront of their cars and put it on youtube!!!

At least all the cars steppin up are worthy. LOL, I thought Nelson did a rim change again till I realized it was Darrens car. Is that your car Darren? Nice car regardless...

[4flow]

Cool, don't forget the details gaith...

[gaith]

mike, do i have picts of your car already? (if not, please send me some, or post here)...

4flow, yes hopefully better than that! (i can see alot of post production potential there, like taking out the reflection of the white car!)

[4flow]

I like your answer. I am just a student in all of this. I'm ready gaith, but do give us a time table, so they can wash their cars hehehe

The first one is post-STaSIS install (about 1" 1/2" lower [:)] ). The rest are pre-install.

i am still working out the location.... planning to shoot my car in several locations, and then deciding.... i will do that the first weekend in November, and then take it from there... and for sure, everyone needs to have their ride spotless....

and Mcgyver, that ride is cool... you are on the list.

Thanks, man. . . looks much better!!

[4flow]

Thanks man, I ruined your picture... Because I hid the details of your car, the grills. I'm still learning.

[gaith]

OK... need some feedback about location type:
1. urban
2. nature

(ps can i add a poll to an existing thread?)

[10MPG]

Voting for nature

I don't think you can edit this thread to change to poll, just start a new one.

[4flow]

urban, lots of colors in contrast to work with

[Black Knight]

Nature.

[McGyver]

Nature

[pbcstylez]

nature

[4flow]

Nature is clean and all the contrast goes to the car....[up]

[SeKKeY]

im in to get my car shot

[Daddy MO]

I think you guys should shoot on the corner of 3rd and Newcomb in San Francisco for an "urban" scenery =)

[4flow]

when is this going to happend? I must say, nature looks stunning, if the location provides array of contrast to work with.
