I currently shoot for Porsche and I was lucky to be given a shot since I worked there already , Its been a good 2 years of trial and error but I guess you can say I got it down and learning more every year. You should do a video on how to edit window glares or When window has bad tint when you shoot with polarizer. I still don't know how to edit that rainbow effect on headlights when using polarizer

I know how you feel man! I worked for a dealership group for 2.5 years taking the basics. It wasn’t till 6 years after I moved on from that gig that I started shooting great cars. Try and find cool cars in your area through Instagram and offer free shoots? Shoot Porsche until Porsche notices. 🤪 not easy but that’s what I tried 🤷🏻‍♂️ Much love bro!

Great content man, here's a question I'm always unsure about with dealerships or any clients. If they toss you the keys what is the insurance process? Is it just a handshake deal or what? Thanks man keep it up!

@TheCarCreative 2 жыл бұрын

Typically, I sign the same “test drive” form that a customer would. Which means (here in Canada) that if I get in an accident I have to pay the deposit for their insurance. What you need to read in the find print though is how much that deposit will be for the “customer” - which is often 5000-10000 so definitely worth figuring out. Other times, once I’ve been shooting for a dealership for a while, it becomes more “handshake” and trust has been developed.

Hey man I have few questions and I will just ask you in here. I just came across your channel yesterday. I was searching for jobs which are for cars enthusiastic and thought automotive photography would suit me cuz I think I have some perspective at taking pics(I mean cars pics) but I don't take photos that much. I can only take pics in racing video games lol! So I wanna know is being a automotive photographer is a good career? Plus I m 17.Currently trying to get my GED diploma. After that, I will need to choose a college but I don't really know what kind of college should I apply to get in automotive photography filed and get a decent job in the US. Hopefully man, you'd recognize my comment and advise me. Sorry if there was any mistakes though!

@TheCarCreative 6 ай бұрын

Hey man! I recently made a video about just this so your timing is good. It’s called “5 mistakes to avoid as a car photographer.” Give it a watch because it pretty much answers all these questions and might help with direction? Car photography is a tough one to make into a career if it doesn’t start from passion. But there is nothing more fun, in my opinion 🤪 clearly.
