I'd happily chuck one up your auntie's back doors though
Can't say I disagree, though!

That's also poorly composed, one key point when shooting reflections is to ensure that no other features intersect with the subject's reflection. In that instance they've managed to merge the chimney with the car...Little things like that and the general framing of the subject give away that they're not using an experienced photographer, so what else are they skimping on?

Even so though, pictures are all taken on site with other cars sometimes in shot.
Dealers who take with a reflection or white background studio shots always come with a 50% increase over other identical cars elsewhere..

Thank you for that, I wonder if the poster on that thread has grown up yet?

We are supposed to use CitNOW for our photos which is all done through a phone but it's a massive ballache so we stopped using it, I believe our Seat branch still use it as it is one of Seats standards.

A long exposure, maybe a nice graduated lens filter, and some photoshop knowledge could turn that in to a pretty nice shot.
My wife used to work for a company that had a team that would do the fake backgrounds for the sales shots, the amount she used to get back from them with the wrong brand on was nuts, didn't help that she was at a multi-brand site.
Wondering if more will go to tesla style, where there's no real pictures, just the configurator screen shots.
Have we had this one yet?

Like the watch people who have staged photos with other very expensive objects conspicuously in the background

Having said that, the missus does the advertising and has an array of cameras and lenses she uses for professional landscape photos. I personally wouldn't have a clue how to use them properly and she doesn't let me touch them anyway!
Its only when I compared the (relatively) crap phone pics to the proper thing that I could see the difference. I just let her get on with it, it's one less job I have to do..
