absolutely fantastic! the only shot i "dont like" is the interieur one:) the rest s gorgeous!

[PGD]

Stunning set imo - any more from the shoot?

The birds hurt the rig shot though!

[GFWilliams]

The location doesn't really suit the car, but they're very well executed.

Interior shot doesn't fit with the set though. Oh, and straighten the steering wheel on interior shots

[salo]

Thank's guys!
Ok, I removed interior photo from post.
Location wasn't my choice, but we tried to do our best from it.

[OHirtenfelder]

Holy shit. These are amazing.

The first one is stunning. That lady has stunning cheekbones I do love the tonality on her face. Super

The tones of the car are superb. I would imagine that most people shooting this would have made the RR quite a bit brighter, but this just works so well.

Not a huge fan of 4. The car seems to be standing quite 'uncomfortably' tbh. I'm guessing the ground is quite uneven?

The rig shot makes me hard! So beautifully executed.

How did you light these?
Also, is that wall or barn (or whatever it is) really as long as it looks in the rig shot, or did you PS that?

Great work man!

[VisualEchos]

Fantastic processing here, if a bit bland on composition. #5 is my favorite, very smooth, fits very well.

[daniele fontanin]

GREAT SET. Luxury feeling on it, I really like this set!
In my opinion you can change a little the rigshot...birds are a little "too much" in the composition and the sky is a little bit too strong...but these are only details ont he set that, again, it is fantastic!

[dynadesign.nu]

real nice set, considering the extent(or lack there of) options of scenery.
Lighting is slap bang awesome.
The only thing I really don't like are the birds.

One of the best sets I've seen here in a while. These photos really sell the car. I'm in love with this car now, and that's exactly the purpose/goal of automotive photography, as far as I'm concerned.

There is some room for improvement though. The tones (as in color) of the environment suit the car very well, but if it would be a little bit smoother (no cracked concrete, more uniformly) and modern, the photos would feel more balanced. The environment and the car are contrasting with each other, and that is not always a good thing.

More specific critique:

1. Really liked this at first because it shows the sheer size of the car. I'm still liking it, but the composition could have been a little more exciting and the photo feels tilted because of the lines of the car and the fact that the wooden planks in the background aren't straight.

2. Very decent, nice perspective. The vertical line in the middle of the hood is not perfectly straight though, while it should have been. You could also do something subtle such as a window reflection to break the symmetry a little bit.

3. / 4. The lighting of the wheels looks a bit sloppy. I'm not an expert on lighting, but try a big reflector next time or just use available light.

6. As said, the birds don't look businesslike. The tone of the car is also slightly off, looks a bit yellow/gold.

[Mitch Hemming]

The lighting on #4 is freakin amazing. I love that style

The only thing hurting the set is obviously the location. Doesn't suit, but there's not much you can do

Link to more of the photos?



p.s YOU RIGGED A PHANTOM!? haha

[HKYStormFront]

nicely done!

[salo]

Thank's for c&c,guys!))
Location without a car was pretty, but when had RR arrived, we understood that this military base=fail.
Yes,on rigshot wall is original and it's really long,but not for this car.
I'll add some backstage photos today, but they're shooted from iphone.

Why you don't like birds? Without them,rig looks a little empty((

[Dejan Sokolovski]

Beautiful shots man.

[salo]

Adding some backstage photos. Enjoy ;-)

[Frederic Schloss...]

Really gret photos. Love the clean lighting.

But I really don't like the rig shot. Not only becaue of using two times EXACTLY the same birds... it looks like a painting!?

But all in all a very good series, keep up the good work!

[salo]

I tried to do birds not so "shopped",but seems it not so good as it could be.
I'll try to work more harder nex time))
Thank's for your opinion! I really needed some "fresh eyes" for this shot.

[oblivo]

Beautiful set. I actually love the location. I think it provides great juxtaposition with the high-roller element of the car.

The only thing I'd say is to lose the birds in the last shot. They're starting to become a bit cliche, and you don't need them.

[MaTBoY]

I didn't get into the thread soon enough to see the interior shot. The shots are all so silky smooth and refined.

Only CC for them is to remove the birds from the rig shot, or just have a single bird, or make them smaller in the distance? They just don't fit the rest of the shot.

[Seethegrim]

Beautifully lit! Especially those gradients you have over the top of the car from the higher angles.
