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.

This is my third time shooting for MWDesign. This time they are going for a white on white theme. In contrast of the first z4, this z4 is the direct opposite in colors. My goal of shooting this car was to bring out contrast and reflections, and the results are exactly what I was aiming for. I didn’t want to be too conservative so I light the car like how I light black cars.
Thanks again for Mike and Lewis at MWDesign, and whitebox studio for renting the place to us.

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ll find this car familiar. I shot this car just a year ago and the owner wants a reshoot. My approach of shooting this car is quite different than my previous shoots. I shot this on a rainy day with mostly natural lighting.

Had the opportunity shooting the MWdesign BMW Z4. Shooting a black car in a not so well lit place was never an easy task, especially when you’re limited in gear. It’s a challenge in the beginning, but it wasn’t that bad after all. In fact it was my best shoot so far. Enjoy! Special thanks to Lewis and Mike!

I have been really busy shooting event coverages and weddings this month. Finding time is never hard if you have enough dedication and when you use your time wisely. I happen to shoot Darius’s Mitsubishi EVO IX earlier this week. These are pretty rare in Canada because they’re never sold locally so pretty much everyone of them are imported to Canada from the US. This car is DD (daily driver, sometimes) and a weekend track warrior. Very clean! Only one shot though but the car is pretty flush!
PS: I’m prepping my car for May 22nd track day at Pacific Raceway in Seattle. More updates later :)
