Whilst looking for some images to inspire me for direction with this project, i stumbled upon a website called Ambient Life, which has some rather interesting shots.
Ambient Life
I am finding that the images of cars that i find most interesting have often been photoshopped to enhance them. This isnt to say the original image is not good, but just it may not be terribly exciting. The other two important factors seem to be exciting backgrounds and angles, sometimes in motion using either a rig attached to the car, or another car with the photographer hanging out of the back. Sounds like i need a small team..
It would also be fair to say the best images i have found tend to be of high end exclusive/expensive cars, which perhaps lend themselves to being photographed a bit more, as they are more likely to have good surfaces and details. As i dont have access to a lot of high end cars, i will keep practicing with the car i have and try to come up with something more ingenious in terms of the shot.
onwards and upwards.. hopefully..
Moody skies all round there for sure.
ReplyDeleteI'd offer you my car but only as a challenge to make it look sexy - high end it is not!
You can have percy!!
ReplyDeleteGood reserach, the second shot on the bottom row reminds me of you shot with the bridge! :)
i agree with Rachael, moody skies is good :) get lots of atmosphere at dusk and dawn but depnds on the weather we have as to how strong the light will be... and Lauras comment was excatly what i thought too! x
ReplyDeletehmm, it does make me wonder if the skies are genuine or photoshopped in? as there dont appear to be any plainer ones? unless they were all shot in winter, i dont know if the mood would have been possible?
