Low-key Automotive Photography

High-lighting the character of your subject is just as true with a car. What aspect, shape or line best defines the character of the car? What angle do most people find appealing or powerful or fun?

For the Ferrari 348, it is the sensuous rear flank: a gentle rising of the shoulder, curving and tapering into a small integral spoiler.

Working in the studio with a car requires lots of room, however I will go into that in my next post. You do get the opportunity to control the lighting completely. You’ll just wish you had more lights.
