Some more ideas

Further to my earlier research of 'Ambient Life' I found this pic of a Morgan which has been enhanced with the use of photoshop to add a flag on the wall behind it like graffiti, which also serves as a reminder of how British this car is. I do quite like the image and as I have mentioned earlier, would quite like to do a shoot with some graffiti around a car.
This image got me thinking that if I didnt manage to find what I wanted, then maybe some could be added after to help the image.

After having a look for some new fonts for the exhibition poster, I found a few graffiti styles, of which I downloaded one, and had a little play in PS to see what it could look like if I added it to one of my shots. Excuse the cheesy phrase, but I thought the overall idea worked quite well?

This made me wonder if I could perhaps come up with something a little more funky/playful for the car i'm using, and control the image with text (Calvin would be proud) i dont know?

alternatively i do now know of one location which could be quite promising, but it is rather a long drive away unfortunately :( anyone know of similar places which are perhaps a little closer..

hmmm...

Research

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..
