Capturing the Corvette Z06 on Film

[@thefilmdaddy]

You should shoot this guy WheelemVerb’s V70 - much smaller KZbinr but you’d like him I think.

[@WillemVerb]

I don't think I'd get along with a guy who likes Volvos....

[@PhotoMeLarry]

@@WillemVerb He copies a lot of your style anyway...

[@samuelkuro]

Wow! This is the dream... having a client appreciate the art of photography instead of killing it with perfection or too many standardised requests. This is some fresh wind especially for automotive photography! I love the results! Can't wait for the Porsche vid. 📸❤‍🔥

[@WillemVerb]

Very grateful to work with Cassidy who was incredibly open minded about the approach to the images, but had a clear direction at the same time. I think if they wanted traditional car photography, they wouldn’t have hired a kid who shoots landscapes 99% of the time. It was a great time.

[@gw5976]

I love how you can appreciate the imperfect, which for me is the wonder of analog photography. In addition to being able to have a client who knows how to use those imperfections as part of the poetry of photography. Great job! Congratulations. I wrote you on IG!!

[@WillemVerb]

I agree. Very lucky that road & track is so open to working with people beyond the traditional realm of automotive photography. I believe most of the photographers in the issue are more landscape and editorial based in their practice and it’s cool to see a magazine moving away from the traditional commercial style.

The fact that you are not used to shooting cars makes your photos more interesting. Your perspective in different.

[@onogrirwin]

The cafe portrait was perfection. Not just a great shot, but it exemplifies the stereotypical corvette loving american feel, perfect for the context.

[@ale_s45]

I love the cold withe balance with the orange car, very clever choice

[@Xin200O]

these pics were actually insane holy crap

[@aidantrevor9263]

So happy to see you getting these big time gigs lately man, you’ve been my biggest inspiration in shooting film and capturing memories with photos in general. Cant wait to see where it all takes you and the legacy you leave

[@Necroblob]

I absolutely love these videos showing your professional work. Thank you.

[@roderickfranco]

It's refreshing seeing commercial car photography being shot on film, instead of being a super sharp digital photo. This may open up more opportunities for automotive film photography. Great video, thank you!

[@hebezelaya9980]

You are excellent. I hope great things keep coming your way!

[@tomscameras]

Amazing analog car photography, I am very much looking forward to the Porsche photo story as well.

[@telkirton]

Great video young man and pleased to see a young photographer using film, well done Willem.

[@limitlessmedia7440]

Wow great that’s an awesome opportunity! Great job 👏🏽

[@vfors5576]

Awesome shoot, results came out amazing! Looking forward to the Porsche vid :)

[@simonbnyc]

Excellent job! The shots are beautiful.

[@bobsykes]

Yes! This makes me think how when I found your channel it was the start of the Covid lock-downs and we were all house-bound. I was worried about how you and others like you would even survive economically. But now, you're getting the most amazing work! So happy for your success. I still look forward to all of these KZbin productions just as much as I enjoyed them back then. Now, off the the magazine shop to grab a copy of R&T in print! ✌

[@stonepillowband]

Porsche + Willem. Yasss can’t wait ❤

[@thedondeluxe6941]

The film shots gives it some of that glamorous 70's magazine look. Very nice👍

[@billem16]

the shot at 4:21 is everything /// edit - ok i said that before i saw the shot at 6:20 ... THAT shot is everything

[@jonathans.9372]

Every time Willem posts a video working with another big magazine or commission it makes me incredibly happy. Being an excellent photographer is one thing, but being a unique photographer who really produces work that stands apart from contemporaries in photography is rare and incredible to watch the process. I could have spotted your style a mile away and the end images are just jaw-dropping, I often pause the video to just stare at some of these pictures for a while.

[@BrianGeorgeGaming]

Unreal! I just got the issue the other day. Very much looking forward to digging into it and seeing your photos!

[@whoisjfon5688]

Pics came out amazing !

[@dexterholliday2188]

Looks like you started in Julian. I've driven those roads to Borrego Springs many times. Loved this.

[@curtisliddell7486]

As someone who loves to photo cars, i love this.

[@iracarew5172]

I'd love to see more car photography content! I'm a 17 year old who has for lots of strange and wonderful reasons, somehow gotten my hands on now 9 cameras in the last half year. I absolutely love film and cars even moreso, you've taught me so much and I'd love to expand my knowledge by learning about this niche side of photography from someone I've learnt so much from already!

[@michaelbennettphoto]

I’m stoked for the Porsche video! Dope shots of the ZO6 dude!

[@sivgreyson]

thank you so much for sharing your pre-production process. its so helpful x

[@seantomlinson3320]

This was so cool. What a neat experience and a great video. I also love that shot of the Z06 vs the mountains. Wow.

[@azzalos]

Congratulations my friend. Looking forward to your next video

[@WillemVerb]

Thank you!

[@raphli6570]

can't wait to see the Porsche video.

[@abgrafix]

bro is living the photographers dream . You did a splendid job brother .... Really excited to see your Porsche video Willem

[@nilshtz]

I love that you break down your work with also bts shots and go step by step through the shoot!

[@sjollyimages]

Beautifully done, great images👌

[@asap_mattt]

Perfect time in 2 weeks in my city (Brescia 🇮🇹) there will be the extremely famous “1000 Miglia” We’ll wait for u Willem ❤

[@somephotovideos]

I love the photos, Willem. As someone who has flipped through so many car magazines over the years, it’s so great to see an institution like Road & Track request images that aren’t the typical photos we see in every car spread. There are definitely some incredibly talented car photographers out there, but it’s so nice to see your simple, stripped down, intimate shoot between you, the car, the driver and the road. And orange was a great color for this!

[@FLAZY616]

WOW. JUST. WOW!

[@VaclavPialek]

babe wake up willem just posted. THANK YOU❤❤❤

[@taigafujino6316]

Just wow. 👏🏼

[@titomartinroig4626]

I see that even the best ones sometimes receive hate comments, what awaits me hahaha, incredible photos! You have motivated me to try car photography with my canon a1, incredible photos!!

[@sir_7639]

this video was great. Car photography isn't your main thing but I would definitely pay you any amount to shoot my car🙌🏽. I can't explain the good vibes this video gave me.

[@filipbaumgartner4258]

Oooo it was great photoshoot, amazing car and perfect photos as usually.🎉

[@Houston_RPM]

Automotive film photography has been pretty niche from what i can tell, love to see that its getting some recognition, especially from someone as prominent in the community as you!!

[@ColeOshiro]

Best photography content on youtube, what an amazing video. Looking forward to the Porsche video, sounds insane.

[@alexmalaison3215]

Hugeeee inspiration

[@DJDiarrhea]

Beautiful shots, I shoot a lot of cars myself. Mostly trackside with the cars in motion, couldn't imagine doing that on film, I would go through bucketloads of rolls hahahaha.

[@RossJukesPhotography]

Having shot more than enough cars in my career, I think you've got some really great images (and on film as well!) Even got the 'Car Photographers Hand Gestures' down :)

[@WillemVerb]

😂❤️

Nah bro gotta be lying

Dude, this is my dream career Willem! Amazing work, and fantastic results. Can't wait for the Porsche video, huge 911 fan; the 996 is my favorite gen.

Nice job with the motion blur! Speaking of car stuff, you might like the British Invasion car show if you've heard of it. Think it's in September in Vermont.

Such an awesome opportunity! Looking forward to more car content! I'd love to see you do period correct VW Beetle 60s/70s photos. I feel it would fit the film vibe so well in California

[@michellemarron9221]

omg i had no idea you were here in stuttgart! i literally pass by the museum on my way to work hahah, you are such an inspiration to me when it comes to photography, i would have loved to at least invite you to spend some time in the nature climbing park i work at

this is legendary

I can't even imagine trying to track anything with such a massive camera. It's hard to get those rolling shutter tracking shots. I'm betting you went through a roll or two just trying it.

[@dinokuznikphoto]

Great project W!

[@LikeButtahApparel]

I just shot a lowrider show on film for the first time, this video is perfect timing

Check out Tim Wallace’s work in the Uk for some more interesting car angles. I like the pics. Makes me want to het the magazine!

[@richardrizzo_photography]

Super nice images!

[@kinangeagle133]

I went to a car show last month and tried to shoot cars on film. I found that shooting a crowd with the cars made it more difficult cause i legit have better results guess focusing on moving cars while im on the road

[@danceofjimbeam]

man, this was fucking dope

[@paulschumacker9901]

It would have been great to take the interior shots with the Mamiya 7 43mm lens - it would get everything into the picture with everything in focus!

[@skylerli903]

You killing it😭🤯

[@2007rSix]

This looks like Little Tujunga!

[@Fortnite87463]

That photo of the GM developer in the cafe is unreal. It looks just like a vintage photo of a GM worker from back in the day. Unbelievably good.
