Grease and Sweat

Here are some photos from my Subaru shoot the other day. This time the focus was on aftermarket parts and accessories. We installed a new pair of Perrin Hella Horns to the front. All the images were shot on a Canon 5D Mark III with a 35mm 1.4L lens tethered into Capture One Pro 10.  

I hope you enjoy these images. I really love how they turned out. Car photography is quickly becoming one of my favorite things to shoot. Be on the lookout in the coming months for some more!

This one (above) was my favorite image from the shoot

Subaru WRX STI Part 2

Last night, I finished up my Subaru shoot from a couple weeks ago. This time we focused on the insane details of this car. All these shots were photographed with one strobe, almost always overhead pointing down. I was going for a super dramatic look to give this car a really dark and mean look. I hope you enjoy the photos!

Gear Used:

• Nikon D610 w/ battery grip
• Nikon 50mm f/1.8G
• Nikon 35mm f/1.8G
• Grey/White Card
• Surface Pro 4 
• Photek 47in Softlighter v2
• Phottix Indra 500 w/battery
• Phottix Odin II for Nikon
• Lumopro LP-180s

Here are the photos from the other shoot

Subaru WRX STI

Here are the final photos I took of my buddy's Subaru WRX STI. First off this car is an amazing machine. Just hearing this thing race down the highway is incredible. We wanted to make a short video and a set of photos that looked like they belonged in a car magazine or could be used for promotion from Subaru. 

*Disclaimer: I was not paid by Subaru for these photos, this was just a test shoot*

This first shot was the biggest composite and took the longest. This was shot on top of a parking garage rooftop late on a Sunday night. Security was nice enough to let us setup a "commercial" shoot in there garage. I wanted to highlight the front of the car closest to the camera. I took a couple base images with different exposures and settled for a slightly darker exposure. Then used a Phottix Indra 500 through a 7-foot softbox to highlight each part of the hood, bumper, wheel and side. I composited the photos in photoshop then applied a color grade.

I did the same composite method for this one. This was shot in the parking garage. This wasn't my favorite of the two composite photos, but it still turned out pretty cool.

This last one was shot on our second run of shooting on the new bridge. Check out the video below to see the first run!

Subaru WRX STI - Teaser

Last weekend, my buddies and I shot a car commercial and some promotional photos of a Subaru STI. We shot a rolling shot on the new bridge in Louisville, Ky and some photos on a parking garage roof. I'm still working on the photos so be on the lookout for those. Here is the final video.
