I was pretty busy bouncing from press conference to press conference at the 2008 L.A. autoshow. I didn’t cover the Nissan press conference but having previously owned a 350Z I had to check out the newest incarnation of the Z car, the 2009 Nissan 370Z.
My first reaction was, “What did they do to the [...]
The Nissan GT-R is back and I want one. Ask any car enthusiast about the GT-R and the majority of them will say the same. With insane twin-turbo V-6 power, edgy looks, and a cult-like following rivaling that of the Beatles, the 2009 Nissan GT-R lives up to the hype.
Shooting in a studio is something I’m still very new to. It’s worlds different from shooting on location. The great part about shooting in the studio is that you can control almost everything. It’s awesome for shooting black cars because it’s easier to control reflections. The studio is also good for [...]
When I get a black car to shoot I try to find a nice open space to minimize distracting reflections. A good photographer friend of mine, Ron Perry, suggested a spot that would be perfect. Unfortunately, instead of a colorful sunset I got an overcast marine layer because the location was close to [...]
If you looked up Billy Badass in the dictionary you’d find a picture of the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8, taken by me of course. You can practically feel the chest hair sprouting every time you mash the pedal. This might not be a desired side effect if you’re of the feminine persuasion but [...]
I was playing around with lighting today and decided to take a couple shots of my English bulldogs, Yoda and Duke. I have one light behind them, high and to the left. I also have another light on the camera right, shot into an umbrella.
BJ hit me up for a shoot because he’s lookin to sell his 350Z and he wanted some good shots before he let it go. He specifically asked me to focus on certain rig shots so thats what I did. Post processing took a bit longer but I try to accomodate my customers as best [...]
To say that there’s a rivalry between the 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STi and the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X is a bit of an understatement. But let’s just say they’re not on speaking terms at the moment. As an automotive enthusiast, I think that rivalry is good. It raises the bar [...]
Mel specifically asked to shoot at this location because he liked the way the green contrasted with light colors such as silver. One problem I find with this place is lighting. There are tall street lamps up and down the road, alternating sides. You really have to pick your positioning carefully because [...]
Mel contacted me on My350z.com for a photoshoot of his highly modified Nissan 350Z. With a full Vertex body kit and custom FIVE:AD rims, he is well on his way to building an awesome machine. The way Mel modified his Nissan 350z was clean and subtle, but at the same time the car [...]
