You can’t go wrong with 3/4 front and 3/4 rear shots. I also think the a$$ shots always look great.

lol! That booty though.

Also, getting lower and farther away usually looks better. Sometimes, if you're too close, the lens will distort the edges of the image noticeably, including the car itself. So I like to get nice and far back.

It all depends on what you want to do. Sometimes I shoot from higher up if there's something I want to have in the shot.

And I am not a professional, but I just look back at some of the older photos I've taken and realize how much better they've gotten just because I do these two things.

Lighting is also crucial. Golden hour shots are more likely to yield better shots.

^^...but golden shower shots will create more buzz (lol)

But seriously, i think the 3/4 rear shot at angle makes the car look best. I think the BBS dont photograph as well also because the details of the wheel gets lots and all you see a big black blob...i know its far better in real life but they are not photogenic wheels in my opinion

Golden showers on a warm summer day can be quite refreshing.....or so I hear.....


I agree generally speaking black wheels aren't very photogenic, but they can be in the right light.
