Hey everyone,

I've decided to come on as a Sponsor on G35Driver and My350z!

You guys may be wondering what the hell I am going to sell? Nothing. I'll be offering my services as a(n) [aspiring] photographer. I've got some new equipment that I would like to test out.

Everyone here knows that I'm a picture *****. Hell, even I know that. But I'm noob at photography and I'm bored of practicing with my own car, so I'd like to improve my skills using your guys' cars as my test subjects.

For each photo shoot, the owner will receive a minimum of 15 shots, each of which will be post-processed. You will receive a CD with the images in the mail within about two weeks. But please be patient with me as I am a student first, aspiring photographer second. Location for the shoot does not matter, so long as I can work with it. It can be chosen by you or me if you don't have anything specific in mind. If I have to travel far, then there will be an additional fee for gas.

I will be starting off by charging $25 per shoot. Again, this will include a minimum of 15 post-processed photos mailed to you on a CD. This fee will cover the entire length of the shoot, which will run no more than ~2 hours. PM me to set up an appointment!

Unfortunately, most of my time is spent in San Diego as that is where I am currently attending school. However, I come home (LA) from time to time and will try my best to work with you if you guys want.

Note: I will be in the LA area for about 1 month! I will be moving back to San Diego some time after Jan. 10th!

FAQ:
What is the best time to shoot my car?
Typically, the "golden hour" is just before sunset when the sun isn't too harsh. However, a little after sunrise will work as well. Unless we can find a large shady area to shoot in, we're limited in time...unfortunately.

Can you do a photo shoot of my car with a model in it?
As of now, I cannot provide a model. It isn't as easy as picking up a cutie off the street and asking her to pose half-naked for a car. Despite what people say, modeling takes skill and not all girls have that skill. If you provide a model, then I can work something out.

Can you do rolling shots?
I'd love to practice my panning shots with your car. Below are some examples of panning shots that I've done.

Glad to hear you are a sponsor and will be offering this service. I'm interested in having pics taking, including rolling shots. PM sent.

 

Congrats Cal. I'm definitely interested. I'd like to get a day and night photoshoot though.

As for the location, uuummm somewhere mountain'ish?

Congrats Calvin. I get special free introductory price right?

Damnit, I still haven't gotten the SLR yet. So I must pay for photoshoots until I get my own SLR, hopefully soon. Oh wait, I'm not going to take an almost-stock G to a photoshoot
