Composite Lighting a Hyundai Sonata

A couple weeks ago, my beloved Scion tC was rear-ended. Luckily, no one was hurt and the car is being repaired. In the meantime, I was given this Hyundai Sonata to drive around as a rental. I decided to look at this annoying situation as an opportunity and photographed the slick looking car this past weekend. I tried something new that I’ve never done before when shooting with lights like this. Continue reading for some behind the scenes photos and tips on how I lit the car.
Try something new and experiment for a day
If you follow my work, you know that it consists mostly of boudoir and model photography. I love working in these genres, but sometimes I like to try something new. Prior to moving to the DC area, I worked as a sports photographer for a local city newspaper in Pennsylvania. I absolutely loved photographing sports and sometimes find myself missing it quite a bit. With that said, I ventured out this past weekend in the 104 degree heat and photographed a sport I hadn’t before. I also experimented with the post processing to give the photo an entirely different look than what is currently in my portfolio.
