Just asked a friend to tag along for some photos in Richmond. Testing some new gears out! Remembered coming here last year, but it was a lot more warmer this spring. The carnival is something we have here every spring break. I don’t find the rides too exciting, but then again I am not a big fan of them anyway. Just there to take some shots for fun haha
I don’t normally post pics of stock cars, but this car deserves it’s place. With pure italian design and styling, the Maserati Gran Turismo is just not your typical car. In fact, the car would line up nicely along with the Alfa Romeo 8C. I just wish to do a proper shoot on one of those (saw them on track day before, those 8Cs just makes you droool too) Anyway, enough talk. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.
I don’t usually post behind the scene shots, mainly because I don’t find them interesting enough to show. However, this is one of my first time shooting cars in an indoor studio. Thanks again Whitebox Studios.
A lot of people asked me how I got the car so shinny, and believe it or not, a white car in a white studio is usually the easiest to shoot, but for me it was a challenge. I didn’t want to do the typical photoshoot. If I light the car pointing the light straight at it, it would look bland and flat. Instead, I made use of the white walls around the studio, and pointing the lights at them so it reflects off a bigger surface area. By doing that, it creates a big soft box effect that allows the car to look more reflective and appealing.
