Well now that I've sold my car I thought I'd take it out on one last shoot. Unfortunatley rain forced us into a car park which presented some interesting lighting challenges. The model is Louise, we had a make up artist along and I sourced the outfit from ebay, all 60s originals. I'm still processing but here are a few first cuts...

Nice Charger. I guess you had your reasons, but that'd be a keeper for me.

Number 3 of the first set for me. I do like the first one of the second set but there is that little grey halo behind her hair from the graffiti on the wall which is just a little distracting.

IMHO I think she would have gone very well with a cheeky old mini to get a real Brit 60's feel. The Charger just suits the more American fashions you have chosen in the past.

Cheers

Thanks for the comments thumbup

I've had the Charger 3 years and used it as my only car so I've had a good run with it. I want to go back to the 50s with the next car biggrin

I always look forward to your shots Nick, and yet again I'm not disappointed. I think your photography comes closer to being "art" than any photographer on this forum. Top stuff...

Martin.

Thanks guys smile

Appreciate the comment Martin, I do seem to be heading more down that road now. I've stopped doing any magazine stuff and just focus on what I want to do. I'm trying to get enough material together to do a small gallery show smile

Tomorrow I have a shoot lined up with a 5'11" Fuel Girl biggrin

Top pics as always Nick. Be a right shame to not see any more of the charger tho.

How can you leave that behind ? Its gorgous.

Whats the plan then ? Tri 5 Chevy ? 57 Fury ?

I really want a 55-58 Chevy Wagon, air ride with steels and whitewalls or 18s and 20s. The wife wants tropical turqoise which I like but I've always been a sucker for a black car. Metalflake roof and lots of pinstriping front and rear. It may take a while to get it where I want it but that's part of the fun. I can't stretch to a Nomad but a Belair, 150 or 210 are all good to me biggrin

Something like this...

Really like those shots and - I always say this about your shots - it's the colours which I really like! You have a 5D don't you?

Anyway - that jackets works PERFECTLY with the black car and dim car park background.

Love it biggrin Shame your car is going - but makes way for something else just as wonderful so bravo biggrin
