1. Shoot at the right time of day
What is the most common error individuals make when photographing automobiles? Going out in the middle of the day when the light is harsh, unpleasant, and just plain awful. It's a certain way to wind up with bad car shots, and it won't impress your clients. Instead, a few minutes after sunset is ideal for car photography (or a few minutes before sunrise). Because the light is gentle and there is no direct sunlight, you can achieve a lovely, almost ethereal look. Use a tripod to obtain the beautiful soft light on the paint the light won't be particularly strong. You can also photograph automobiles during the golden hours, which are an hour or two before sunset and an hour or two after sunrise. However, the more direct the lighting, the more difficult it is to generate a flattering shot. Consider using a reflector to cope with annoying shadows in close-up shots.
2. Be on the lookout for reflections
You must carefully regulate what reflects in the car if you want good car shots. The design lines are one of the most significant things to highlight in your automobile photos, but reflections can quickly distract from them. So, before you take a single photo, take a glance around you, then examine the car intently to see what reflects off its surface. A car, after all, is a mirror (especially a new, glossy one). If you photograph the car with buildings or trees in front of it, the reflections will appear in your shots. Rather, aim towards an open place behind you, such as a field or the ocean. If you're trapped in a busy area, you may always try changing your perspective; by getting down low, you might be able to avoid the distractions and instead wind up with a sky reflection in your car.
