ORIGINAL

Hi all,
I am a student looking to improve my photography portfolio of cars. I live in Reigate, but go to college in Epsom so would prefer to stay local if possible as I know of some good locations for photos in the area.. I have shot my dad's cars to death (Chesil Speedster, New C-Class and soon to be my mini one) so would like to try some other cars.

I'm offering a photo shoot of your car. After the shoot I will give you a CD of all the photos in full resolution including edits. Lower resolution (800x600 will be available on my website that you will be able to link to (so you can post on forums if you want .

I'm not too fussed about exotica so please feel free to post up even if not sure.

A few pictures to show what I can do (these have been taken this year)









My website (work in progress):

Please pm me or post on this thread if you are interested or would like more information

Thanks,

George

Hi George,

Some really good shots on your site!
I'm liking the moody one of the Speedster. Is this a sideline or are you studying photography at college?

I'd be happy to loan my car out for some shots (MINI Cooper S or TVR Chimaera).

What about getting 4 or 5 cars (keep the group small though) in one go, so you can get some decent shots without having to meet too many times?
I for one would be happy to pootle around for a morning getting some decent photo's.

Thanks for your replys - I go to Epsom College and am studying photography as a fifth AS level which I am having to study for without any real help (no lessons). (others are maths, physics, economics and computing..)

I would be up for a group meet, I am normally free on sundays (not saturdays apart from in the afternoon/evening.

A group would be a good idea, especially if those that come are interested, so everyone can learn a bit. only issue might be parking with more cars..

Locations in mind for a shoot: Box hill area - Epsom downs - maybe an industrial area depending on atendees.. - Denbies (same as top merc shot)


Thanks,
George

Just saw Dizeee's picture - If we go to a location like that I could really make it work with flash and the like.. where is it - wicked location!?

ps. you need a tripod

George

[VerySideways]

A Chimaera (in a hard-to-capture colour) and a black BMW - take a look and see if you think they'd fit the bill for what you're looking for:

LuckyP YHM - forgot to say that there is no one who is remotly good at photography out of my mates, yet alone videoing sorry

George

[GFWilliams]

I think that we should cap the group meet to 5 or 6 people and sort it out from there. Thanks for all the offers, my thread seemed to go down much better than the one on the ferrari, lambo forum

George

[GFWilliams]

For the Group shot I think that a good location might be around the industrial side of crawley.


Here are a few shots taken there:
