Question SoCal Automotive Photography locations?

Hey guys, what are some good places you have used for some automotive photography?


Of the top of my head:

Vincent Thomas Bridge
Malaga Cove
Palos Verdes Peninsula
Port of Long Beach
Port of Los Angeles
Old Pasadena

I'm trying to brainstorm for public locations that would be easily available for an impromptu photoshoot...

Trying to also think of locales that have interesting architecture or large structures like freeway overpasses, tunnels, and the like

little tokyo - there's lots of industrial builings near first and alameda, some quality graffiti as well (if you like that sort of thing).

depending on the time of day, the bridges from downtown l.a. to the boyle heights area (1st, 5th, and 7th? streets) can work as well.

pch past long beach on the way to laguna nigel.

Hey whoster

I'm not going to be doing the shooting, but are you available as a backup photographer if our current photographer backs down? This is for the 22nd (Saturday) or sometime around then.

This will be up to two cars, with a possible human subject in the shot as well. Probably early morning or before sunset timeframe. Weather forecast shows slightly cloudy, so perfect for shooting

I saw some of your work in the Photography section-- very nice-- have an online portfolio?

Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and basically anything next to a body of water is a personal favorite of mine. This picture was shot from Pacific Palisades.

Found an amazing location after wandering Long Beach

Can't say where until after the ad is finished though....really fantastic location for shooting a car.


Chandler Wood? Can't say I remember the name. Any reference? Yes, it does sound like porno name.

No definitely not, but that is a really good location when there aren't too many hoodies hanging about.

It's downtown, and to take a picture there is somewhat illegal (parking wise) but it is really stunning.
