Afternoon all!

My names Martin, been using this site for a fair while but more to nosey around and look at cars.

For the past few years I have been into photography and getting more and more serious.

Looking to get some practice at shooting cars and help build up my portfolio.

If anyone is in or around Edinburgh I would be happy to meet up somewhere and arrange a shoot?

I reside over on zsoc.com under the same name and also have a facebook page set up (Martin McKillop Photography if you care to have a look - would link but not sure if allowed too!)..

If anyone is interested please let me know and we can sort something out smile (for free obviously!)

Thanks for reading.

Marty

Yes i would be interested in getting a few shots of my b5 rs4.
I had some done of my s4 by another photographer on here, but money bags Barry reckoned it would be a good idea to give him travel expenses. I need the money for fuel!!

I'm in falkirk so not far away. How long would the shoot take and where would you do it? How's the light or wait a month or so?
Kenny.

Thanks for getting in touch Kenny.

No petrol charge for me!

I am happy to meet you in Edinburgh or Falkirk... (ideally Edinburgh of course!)

As you're doing me a favour, if there is a location you like or a style of shoot you want let me know and I can do a little research. If you have any hidden spots in Falkirk as well that would be great?

A month or so might be better with the lighting and we would have a little more time to play with.

Entirely up to you in terms of duration and how many locations we go for. To get 15/20 decent shots probably a couple of hours anyway, if time is an issue we can find a couple of locations near each other - shouldn't be a problem.

Cheers!

(Also can you let me know the colour of your car as well so we can narrow the locations!)

Hi Marty, my rs is misano or red in plain english. I will speak to you about where. Falkirk obviously easier for me but best place for pictures. Just need to work out best day and check with mrs as we have 19mth old.
Look forward to it. Next time i'm on laptop i'll post up a pic.

Thanks guys! I'm not promising the world's greatest photo's but I'm proud of the cars I've shot so far.

The Scooby is one of my favourite cars ! I had the pleasure of shooting a hawkeye wrx sti. The first photo I attached here is from that said shoot.

I'll keep an eye on the forum.

Thanks all!

Marty

What lovely cars you all have!

The tvr is incredible, be an honour to shoot!

The RS is an absolute monster as well, lovely in red too.

I might vanish for the odd week here (move into my new house on Friday)and there but very much up for shooting as much as possible to get a decent portfolio for the summer kicking in smile.

Will get an idea of numbers and see if anyone else would like a shoot. We can then arrange times/ days and more importantly locations!

Thanks for the responses, much appreciated.

Marty

That's another couple from one of the shots, they just sound incredible!

The S5 is a very nice car too! Happy to do either or both!!

I'd be very interested in a shoot with either my bike or car.

Happy to pay though, or contribute to your time somehow.

Just an idea, would it be wise, sensible and all that, to see if a date would suit as many as possible, keeps Martins costs down and have a multi-car shoot as well as individual shots... You should also tag along on one of the runs Martin, some great machines always make an appearance. wavey

Martin,
If you are keen on doing in motion a well as static shots keep an eye on the Road Run or Hoon threads that will come through the year. I'm sure that the organiser can recommend a good spot that you could catch the runners for some good shots - also maybe blag a ride in something exotic when the roads dry out.

Thank you for all the comments. Really appreciate your help here. Its a real passion of mine and it has been very hard getting interest amongst friends / associates then all you guys come along and even give me info on various meets. Superb.

I will definitely sort out coming along to get a feel for everything.

My jaw dropped at the AM post. Literally. Easily one of the most beautiful cars ever made.

Well I really hope I get the chance to get some lovely photos for you all. And even more so, I hope you guys enjoy them.

Next week sometime I can make a list and sort out provisional dates for some shoots. I am happy to spread shoots out as well so no need to worry about several cars at once. I did a small shoot for a fiesta club and I found I rushed a little with so many cars. That being said of course I am willing to try!

Thanks again everyone.

Marty
