An Unusual Photoshoot (Need opinion!)

[jacob666]

So we were primarily shooting in this barn for a local western suppliers store. However I had the FR-S with me and after seeing the new viper shots in the barn:

I thought that might be a cool twist to the regular car shots. Since (nameless model) was there we decided to just combine everything and see what turned out.


Photography side of things: I had 1 construction light to work with and that is it. Being low-light it was hard to expose properly, and having a person involved i couldn't do a long exposure. So conditions wise, it was def a new challenge!


Also, since it was a barn, within 5 minutes the car had a layer of dust on it so... the swirls are from trying to keep it clean-ish with whatever cleaning stuff i had on me.

By no means my best work, but I'd love to get some feedback/opinions?

(And the tilt is legit, not just camera angle making it look like its tilting)

I like the last the most. Mainly due to the color temp of the lighting, and the blue of the car is tough to pull off. Low light with the model as mentioned, and the flash temp contradicts colors imo. Some great composed shots in there.

The Viper barn shoot has a certain mystique about it that really does seem difficult to duplicate. I have no doubt they invested heavily to get the lights right, and brought in haze machines, etc.

Based on what you had to work with, though, I'd say it turned out pretty well.

And I've been friends with her for years now (its her grandparents barn), so maybe next spring I can do a redo shoot with some more lighting and a fog machine...

And the 3000GT, hopefully :D

Looking forward to that shoot.

Well that would only be possible if I could convince the new owner to bring it out (which might happen since he lives here in Grand Rapids)

But I also might be able to get Sublime_whatigo to bring his car over there since he lives literally 2 miles down the road from the barn...

(Coincidentally that's the same girl as in the first post, just a few years back)

Have her get the bikini back out come spring time, she is a hottie!

I gave me thoughts on FB, but again, needs more mods! Haha!

[B-Man]

How does she feel about motorcycles? :icon23:

[vroom4]

She probably feels good, as long as its not a ninja 500.

Well Bryan, a picture's worth a thousand words so... i'll post 3 ;)

I could continue but I think you get the point lol

I like the shots. The dress is very unflattering to her though. I think it's the poses. Bending forward in a dress like that is not a good look.

here are my takes..

#1 good angle, poor lighting. I can see your concept, but the left side of the car is just too dark to pull it off. it sucks because the angle is just right.

#2 again same as #1. maybe if the car was turned the other way, since there seems to be more light on that side of the barn. plus the bottom is distracting, I'd crop it out.

#3 by far the best in the series. its just right

#4 very bad glare hitting the camera. a lens hood would have saved this shot

#5 would have been good except you can clearly see that the car is dirty. kind of kills the shot for me. plus the reflection of that silver circle on the nose of the car also adds to the distraction

#6 needs more foreground light. this is where the on-camera flash would have helped.

#7 looks classic. needs a bit more contrast but otherwise has an old-school feel to it.


overall, not a bad attempt :)

[AdamVR4]

I'm really digging the FRS. That's not it's best angle for it IMO, but every time I see one on the road I'm shocked at how good they look.

[bluzvr4]

good pics but def agree with the dress lol i was like ah shes kinda cut then i saw the rest of the pics!!

I haven't rode than in over a year (oddly still have it since it won't sell)

Thanks! And thanks for the critique

You need to get your ladies together and we can do a bike shoot in the spring :icon23:

Yup. And both of them may soon be working as full-time promo models for Venom Motorsports here in GR in the coming year, so they should def be around/available

[B-Man]

That's pretty cool. Maybe they'll drop your name and you can go on trips with them as their photog :D
