Quick Tip for Taking Better Pictures

Sep 26, 2012

Written by Matthieu P. (Forzafaithful99)

There are so many tips and techniques regarding car photography that I could write about, but that would take too much of your  time, so here is the one that I think is the most important. It can basically be summed up as, "Don't use that angle that everybody else uses!" 

 

 

The following picture is a perfect example of what I'm talking about, the camera shows half of the front, and half of the side. 

 

 

Now that wouldn't be so bad if at least the picture were taken from a different height. The photo below is taken from the car's height, so it's as if you are looking up to the car. This instantly makes a photo a lot more interesting in my opinion.

 

 

 

 

You might even consider putting your camera on the ground, and taking the shot that way!

Another good way to liven up your photos is to take pictures of just the front or the side of the car.  Here is a good example:

 

 

 

This really grabs peoples attention, and is especially effective when you are taking pictures of cars with bold grills. (Bentleys, Aston Martins, ect...)

This is a really a simple technique that many spotters here  already use. If you don't, though, I really urge you to give it a shot. This really revolutionized

my shots, and I hope it will do the same for you. 

 

Have a thought or a technique I can include in my next blog post? Just leave a comment below.
