Ford SVT Raptor Photoshoot - 8/7/11
 

it seems like on any given weekend that i'm back home in hickory i'm shooting some kind of porsche (or ferrari) for one of my clients who has a collection of them. my contact with them usually calls me the week before to arrange it and we go from there. last week, he called and asked if i would take a few pictures of a new t-shirt the company (heritage motorwerks) had made, showing the 930 turbo i shot pictures of a couple years ago, with the car itself in the vault at the client's house. i agreed but said "that shouldn't take long, let's shoot something else too!" my contact knew i had been wanting to take pictures of the client's new toy, the ford raptor he recently purchased, so he arranged for us to get it for a few hours. normally i shoot most of this customer's cars at the airport since the vehicles are usually there and are either not tagged/street legal or not the kind of car you risk taking out on the road. since this one was, however, we decided to use another friend's land outside of hickory to get some shots of it off pavement in it's more natural environment. unfortunately the drive out there took so much time, when we got there we pretty much had to jump out and shoot before the sun went completely down. my friend marcus from highschool also tagged along so there's an image of him taking a picture in the album as well...

Sick truck and great pics.

I love these trucks so much.

thanks!

wow, nice truck! :tup:

on pict #6, did you use an external flash or did you use a lamp illuminating from the passenger side with door open?

so this is how to take interior pictures...!

thanks!

Sick truck, great shots (as always)!!!

thanks steve!

much appreciated :tiphat: the interiors were shot (mostly) with two alienbee 800's, one on each side shooting towards the console to fill in the light from each side. this is my normal setup for an interior shot. after i get the "usual" shots, i turn off one and focus on details or try playing with the lens flare (see the album for examples)

Almost bought one, love these trucks! SO SEXY!

thanks for the tip, HKY!!! :tup: since i don't have facy equipment to go with my little D3100, i shall use 2 flourecent super white twisty bulbs. :tup:

ok, im real excited to take interior shots of my Z now. :p

anytime :D

Beautiful truck and beautiful shots, as always!!!

thank you!

Patrick, nice work my man! Love the Raptor!
