Forged Performance: Photoshoot of our GT-R

ChadB@Forged · 10-21-2011, 04:51 PM

As some of you know, our constant growth has forced us to open up what we refer as F2 or Forged2. This is a second location just 2 minutes from our main location which houses our race fabrication department, parts development center, engine building room, and transmission assembly quarters. Each section of F2 is fully stocked with the necessary equipment and amble room to build and maintain the high powered race and street vehicles we are known for preparing. Our lead fabricator, Chris, can build just about anything from raw slabs and tubes of metal.

Another thing F2 is great for is it's industrial style location for photoshoots! The warehouse area makes a great spot to park a car, hook up my strobes, and fire away. We have been so busy with track events almost every weekend that I really haven't had time to do any static automotive photography. Before we headed out for this weekend's PCA event at Road Atlanta, I decided to do a quick legit photoshoot of the Forged Performance GT-R. As many of you know, the Forged GT-R is among the fastest road racing GT-R's in the country and attracts an enormous amount of attention on the street and track. That's right, this baby is still tagged, titled, and insured! I am pretty happy with the results of the shoot and just wanted to share some pictures with everyone.

Awesome Chad, I always love seeing your photography! What kind of lighting setup did you use if you don't mind me asking?

Thank you

I used my Alien Bee AB800 Strobes(3) and Cybersync Wireless System. Pretty basic lighting set-up with one strobe at the front and two at the side at about 1/4 power.
