Very cool, thats what I figured! I love comps and I do them all the time thats why I asked. I may give this a shot one night soon if I can find a decent place to shoot it. I hate shooting boring backgrounds lol.

Thats actually my biggest struggle. Finding a fun exciting env. I know some guys photoshop in a dif env but I am really trying to avoid getting that fake with it yet. Or better yet, I havnt got a shot where I was motivated enough to do that haha.

Only negative thing about it for me is the great env are in the less wealthy areas and I am always worried about getting robbed. Esp when its pitch dark and your standing flashing a light around attractive everybody haha.

It was a lot of shots.

1 front Wheel
1 Rear Wheel
1 Front Left to hit the emblem and grill a little
1 To hit the CF
1 To hit rear quarter panel
1 To hit whole side which I then used only on the top portion of the belt line to make that bodyline pop a little.

I used my EX580 to fire manually into the car because I am now on Nikon and need to get a trigger for it to work in sync.
I also have this ghetto rig I made out of a tow truck light that I used to light part a little of the rear with.

Here is another shot I did last weekend with my car. Again, a bunch of shots put together haha.

You use that rig program don't you?

redstarcg · 02-15-2015, 10:26 PM

For this one I just did it all in photoshop. I do have that rig program but I use it for my CGi cars. I personally want to buy me a real car rig but before I do that I want to buy me a Profoto B1 500 location kit.

Jesus, you must have spent a lot of time on it in photoshop for that effect!

I haven't posted pics here in a while, so here are a few from an award winning set I did recently for a school exhibit:

In my quest to try knew things in the photography world and branch out my portfolio, I tried my first attempt at a fitness photoshoot this past weekend with one of my favorite models, Meghan Bailey. I've worked with her several times through Z1 Motorsports for their poster photoshoots and she is one of my absolute favorite models to work with. We always have a great time together. Out of what I got, this was my favorite shot:

Here's the rest if you'd like to look through:

This is AWESOME! thanks! I've been an independent contractor endurance coach for a while now and just filed the paperwork for my own business. Putting together a website as we speak and I need ideas for content. Perfect timing and great inspiration! Very Nice!

6spd - that last shot is awesome man!

HKY - I agree, love the highlights on all the weights in that one. Beautiful lighting on her as well.

Holy sh1t you bought a B1 kit?! That's some expensive gear!

Awesome set Patrick!

redstarcg · 02-19-2015, 09:32 AM

Yeah its def running up price wise quickly. Because I dont have anything as far as stands and sandbags and softboxes go this is starting to come close to a 5.8k investment.

My personal logic is if I can afford it I will buy it and that way I have absolutely no excuses as to why I suck. Then I just work on perfecting my personal skills. I have been using this logic with my stunt riding and its been working good haha. However with stunt riding the consequences are a lot more dangerous than just money lol.
