Great pics! Can you suggest anywhere around la to go shoot except for the mountains?

Thanks! What kinds of shots are you looking for? I take it probably something more urban if you're not looking for the mountains?

Being in and around LA, there are so many opportunities for shoots it's almost overwhelming sometimes, but around downtown and the Arts District are always good places to start...lots of gritty textures, colorful graffiti, and atmosphere. Long Beach also offers a lot of nice backdrops with the ocean and ports too. I think the most important thing to keep in mind is that the settings should complement the car and enhance it, and not take away from the main attraction—so nothing too cluttered

B-E-A-U-tiful. Love seeing other non S-Line A5's looking so damn good. Just such a beautiful car in the first place. You do an amazing job of taking care of it.

Your photography skills are nothing short of amazing as well. I'm looking to get into it as well. Just saving for a camera. May have to ask you for some tips when I finally do get one.

Keep on keeping on!

Really appreciate the comments—thanks! Would be more than happy to provide some pointers to help you take some winners!

Yeah, it's amazing how quickly the neighborhood can change from going one or two blocks in the wrong direction. I've definitely been through my share of sketchy ass areas looking for locations, but fortunately without any incidents...just keep a full tank of gas so you're never stranded anywhere
