Behind the scenes

Here are some BTS shots form last nights shoot as well as an unfinished version of the image.

All images of lighting vehicle are shot with the black fabric to help prevent light contamination from the wall. Once all images are complete, I take the fabric down then light and photograph the wall separately.

Unfinished version, among other things the reflection on the floor from the wall looks like icicles hanging from underneath the vehicle.
I find the black or very dark vehicles so much more of a challenge to light.

Here is a behind the scene shot of last nights shook of a 1969 Yenko Camaro and a shot of this actual car in a race in 1972. The Yenko Super Camaro was a modified Chevrolet Camaro prepared by Yenko Chevrolet, developed by the dealership owner and racer, Don Yenko. When the Camaro debuted, apparently General Motors limited it from carrying an engine larger than 400 in³ (6.6 L) V8. Don Yenko and others apparently knew there was a market for a more powerful Camaro and found ways around the GM limit, hence the birth of the Yenko Super Camera in 1967. The model you are seeing is the 1969.

It is all hand lit with various LED continuous lights and blended together in photoshop. We are shooting another car Sunday night and I will do my best to remember and shoot an image of the various LED lights.

That’s what I thought! Light painting!
