very nice tutorial and explanation on the use of lighting. It is a bit of trial and error and you really need to make sure you have enough time to gather it all in. cars are fun to photograph, and they don't complain about the heat from lighting either. look forward to more of your videos!
Thank you for uploading this. This has been extremely helpful. I am an inspiring photographer with a car collection that I would like to photograph in my six car garage. So it looks like I'm going to need more lights.
Best video of it's kind. The last one watched the guy had a huge light box (think parking space sized) suspended above the car.... Who has one of those laying around?
Luiz Freire it was all 4 lights at once in the same exposure. He shot them individually just to see the light fall off and position to ensure he was covering the car how he wanted. Then fire a shot with all the lights at once
1) Get yourself one flash, and any softbox you want 2) With your camera on a tripod and using a trigger take as many photos as your like of the vehicle using the one flash lighting up different areas each picture you take 3) Stack all the photos you choose in photoshop on top of each other and use "lighten" blending mode. 4) If you like, play with masks and such and you have a photo that looks like it was taken with 10 lights with only one. It can be a pain but if you're on a budget it's the best way to go about it.

"when someone buys something like an Aston Martin, or a Mustang GT" that de-escalated quickly.
Brilliant tips, thanks for a very informative video
Really interesting - thanks Tim
Great tutorial, thanks a lot!
This was a nice vid... Super nice. Thanks chief
This was a big help going into car shoot!
Thanks! Great video.
Great video and thanks to share.
...may be the front wheel is not round because of photoshop postproduction :-)
In essence, this was a great tutorial!
He mentioned the gear, but none of the settings! I'd be curious to know what they were (ISO, light output and so on)
Subscribed! Thanks for this awesome video!
How you will get this different lights together if the photos are not made on a tripot?
very nice tutorial :)
You were not using a camera tripod, how does that work to later stich the diff. plates together?
Luiz Freire it was all 4 lights at once in the same exposure. He shot them individually just to see the light fall off and position to ensure he was covering the car how he wanted. Then fire a shot with all the lights at once
What power does these lights have? 300 Ws? 500 Ws?
That's not a muscle car, that's a v6 mustang
Is this with or without retouching?
Damn... literally everyone shoots in the old TECO trolley barn now...
It used to be a secret. ;-)
that's exactly how i would not light my cars, but hey, everyone's different.
thats why Tim is a world famous photographer and nobody has ever heard of your work...
why do you not use a tripod? wouldn't it make it easier to post edit?
No polarizer?
Is he related to Mark Wallace?
I like the picture a lot, I hate the final angle of the photo. It looks so fake and unnatural... Great job tho!
Exactly my thought , good workflow to the pret final image and then the angle ruined it for me ahah . good help for further work tho
@@ey3tech58I get the idea but that was way too much tilt. half that would maybe still be decent
what camera...what lens?
the front wheel arch looks exaggerated, as do the side walls. Why not use a tighter focal length and step back?
lighting on the back brick wall is a bit too much in my opinion, it is way too strong ang pulls attention off the car. Good info tho.
Great Video, Great Tutorial but for someone like me 25000$ for equipment is much too expensiv :/
1) Get yourself one flash, and any softbox you want
2) With your camera on a tripod and using a trigger take as many photos as your like of the vehicle using the one flash lighting up different areas each picture you take
3) Stack all the photos you choose in photoshop on top of each other and use "lighten" blending mode.
4) If you like, play with masks and such and you have a photo that looks like it was taken with 10 lights with only one. It can be a pain but if you're on a budget it's the best way to go about it.
BigNickel That's what I do when I do lightpainting and don't have those lights
It's like $1500-$5000 in equipment depending on what brands you get and what tools you use..
here are my cars picts without any accessory only the camera ( under 400$) was used and post processing
plus.google.com/u/0/+lightwaters
All the pros overly doing everything and taking such a long process. $10,000 camera and a $5.00 shot. The final looks like ass
That end shot looked garbage..
