    The car should have been moving at 150kph around a proper race track at night. Then you both take photos of the moving vehicle.

Not pro shooter with wrong camera, if he wanted to sell this more just get any other of the coolpix point and shoots, like the L26 or S6300, a point and shoot made for an amateur and not just a wrong use for it. I could be wrong, because he also used a commercial fashion photographer as the amateur.

    Both are pros 🌟
    professional photographer with extensive experience can often produce better results with mid-range gear than an amateur can with high-end equipment. Knowledge of composition, lighting, and post-processing are crucial skills that can outweigh the advantages of expensive gear.Gear however High-end camera gear often offers better image quality, more features, and greater durability. This can be important in challenging shooting conditions or for specific types of photography (e.g., sports, wildlife, low-light situations).

    Issues with this is, she wasn't really an amateur, she is already a photographer with knowledge, just a different type of photographer.
    Would've been interesting to see someone with no photography knowledge at all.

      As an amateur, I don't spend 15 minutes on a photo, it's max a minute. I don't position my subjects and I shoot something interesting as I see and usually don't go off more than 10m off my way to click.
