CAR PHOTOGRAPHY - 10 pro tips

[@thechrishau]

I’ve been shooting cars for the last 5 years or so. There’s so many brands I still want to shoot. What’s dream car brand to shoot? What about the dream car?

[@Dmogul]

I want to shoot Honda, ironically. But I like how Honda has grown and changed over the years and gotten better.... but I also want to shoot BMW.

[@PhillipSkraba]

Chris Hau uuu I’ve been waiting for a new car video from You! I’ve recently started trying it myself, not as easy as it looks! I’d love to shoot Porsche cars, I love the lines, or Lamborghini. I’m shooting my Skoda right now, so a little bit off my goals but testing out your suggestions in your other films. Dream car to shoot, probably 911 turbo from the 90’s. Great film, thank You!

[@Alvaro-em1dj]

I would love to shoot mercedes or any car with great lines! My dream car is a bmw i8 or the new tesla cybertruck!

[@arxm1734]

I love shooting for audi and lexus but ive always wanted to shoot for benz!

[@DekiaryCarter]

I had the opportunity to shoot at a Mercedes Benz dealership recently. That was super fun. My dream client is Audi. I can't wait to work with them.

[@opalyankaBG]

How to shoot car photos like a pro? 1) have friends with expensive cars

[@thechrishau]

I guess that's one way. BUT not entirely ;)

[@bigshooter461]

@@thechrishau you are right, not entirely, but for real it is a great way, and it isn't hard to make those friends, lots of them are really friendly people, especially if you happen to meet them when they are in their zone!

[@gregoriojimenez4968]

Bro! Car shows and car meets! (I know I’m late to this 😅😂)

[@TomTom-eh5bg]

Who said they have to be expensive?

[@AuroraRainUwU]

dont need an expensive car, i shoot my 03 forester and can still get great shots

[@taridean]

About 12 years ago had police detectives called on me once and questioned for photographing multiple cars at the same location on an industrial estate. Apparently some karen complained suspecting I was dealing with stolen cars coz she'd seen me more than once with these fancy looking cars. When I showed the detectives the client's website, they just laughed the whole thing off and were fascinated by the car photography world.

[@FramedPerspective_ap]

Thats crazy 💀😭

[@Tonyrizk13]

She probably complained that she seen you hauling out large body sized bags and putting them in your trunk that was filled with your lighting equipment too

[@eyzhuh_studios]

How to shoot luxury cars: 1. Just call up Medcedes and ask them Me: oh ok, easy enough.

[@freshpresseu]

Is that a medical company?

Lol its supposed to reduce that harshe glare on the shiny car's surfaces, but nice catch ;)

I was looking for this comment 😂👍🏻

[@D0wNhiLL]

Khalil Kafieh Does that work in night shots or only in daytime

[@khalilkafieh8099]

@@D0wNhiLL not sure tbh, i wouldn't think so because the reason the sun reflections are reduced is because they all bounce from a single direction.

[@EK61Official]

[@dannyderrick]

Wow, that shutter speed vs. car speed tip was mind blowing! Good to know.

[@thechrishau]

That one is super powerful.

[@jessieN1223]

@@thechrishau is that in miles or kilometers?

[@bashiordache]

@@jessieN1223 pretty sure it's just a generic guideline, try both , pick the best lookin one

[@julifish13]

Jessie Nacar you can use it as well for miles as for kilometer, it has the same effect

It hasn't even been a month since Halloween yet...

[@MichalOlender]

I have an idea for your next series Chris - "Hau to..?" where in each episode you chose a topic to tell your subscribers how to do something.

[@tvdlfilms]

No wonder the building matched the GTC. It´s the Mercedes Benz Museum. :D

[@kodyhogan3568]

As a detailer, my pro tip would be if a vehicle has already been clean and you are going to a shoot location, carry a bucket with a gamma seal lid full of water and rinseless wash mixture. Then you can safely wash the car on the fly. If the car is not covered in dirt, you can also go for the waterless wash method (NOT QUICK DETAILER).

[@DontaeCatlett]

Dope video Chris, filled with great tips! Don’t sleep 📸

[@thechrishau]

haha. Sleep a little bit.

[@qambivisuals3414]

I love the tips and advice you provide but more than anything, I love your impersonations and witty humour. They have me cracking up the whole time and they genuinely make watching consecutive 10-15minute+ videos so enjoyable whilst still learning!

[@Overhulled]

when Chris said "hey Jonathan" I immediately was like "ahh I'm in the video!! also when did I get this sweet ass lambo?" lol

[@SupaLagera]

I've been contemplating learning how to do photography, but more specifically, car photography because of my love for cars. This is the first KZbin video I've watched on it and I must say I found it super informative and entertaining. Got me psyched to go out and start practicing! Thanks man!🙌🏾

[@Projekt5.3]

Not gonna lie, I don't usually subscribe until I've watched a few videos from someone. But your personality and goofyness sold me lol. Subscribed.

[@mrmeatman9948]

I do security in a pretty photogenic part of my city. Had a group of kids come down with their cars, a Dodge Charger and a Pontiac G8, nothing too crazy but they had em dressed up real nice. They saw me and started getting back in their cars, so I asked em how loud they get. Kids were confused at first, but one of em ended up redlining that Charger HARD. Just so happened to have my DSLR in my car at the time and offered to take a few photos for em. Now I'm known as the cool rent-a-cop 😂

[@alexmetcalfe4668]

Dude, that tip about finding car owners selling their luxury vehicles is dope!

[@chiarahinder7806]

7:00 that car suited that location…..ITS THE MERCEDES BENZ MUSEUM…ofc it fits a Mercedes xD

[@jackkraken3888]

He's not a native? Damn could have fooled me.

[@Sami-upload]

I'm underage! why are you giving me a beer? :P

[@PencilsandPaper]

Also: check your pockets, clothes, etc and secure loose hanging things. It's super easy to create scratches with things you never expect to- take NO chances.

[@AfroLamba]

Your thumbnails everytime are so sassy!! 😍

AfroLamba sassy? Haha alright. Let’s go

[@AfroLamba]

[@howlandwu6050]

Great video, Chris! Noah definitely killed it with his shots and his tutorial and his English! I only got one question. You were mentioning match the 40 mph with a 1/40 shutter speed. When you're talking about the car, are you talking about the car you're in or the one you're shooting? Thanks for the great videos, man. Always killing it

[@AdamHaysPhotography]

When shooting rollers the car your in should be the same speed as the car your shooting. He isn't shooting these rollers from the side of the road. I hope that helps.

[@howlandwu6050]

[@javierpaez2258]

​@@thechrishau All of them were so value! Most of your videos goes to my "tutorials" list

[@ZainRao]

Hey man, you should change the aspect ratio of future videos to 2:1. So when uploaded, people on newer phones can see the video full screen and not have half your head cut off. Just something you should think about 🤷🏼‍♂️. Great video though. Learned a lot. Thanks 😊

[@anonimo120797]

12:25 how do you do that flare effect in the headlight?

[@jayjohnatoigue6199]

Sebastián Depending on the angle you shoot the headlights will have that flare. Usually happened with LED’s which are on newer cars

[@lvm182]

I'm very late, but that flare seems very strongly to be coming from the sun

12:27 Does this pro tip work with metric as well? Car is going 40KM/hour, so is shutter still 1/40? Or do i need to do an imperial to metric conversion?

Personally I cut the speed of the car in half and it works well

@@cameroncarrick5604 awesome thank you! So 20KM/hour would be a 1/40 shutter speed. Did I understand you correct?

Love this tutorial! Way to make it straight to the point. Other then some influencers where ya gotta wait till the last minute for them to get their point across...after watching them for 5mins pitching other bull#%*!🙄🤦🏻‍♂️😂 Anyways..thanks! I’m a yacht/real estate photographer in south Florida and this definitely opened my eyes to new ideas and shooting the small details in a shallower depth of field. When most of the time we get programmed to shoot open spaces..we lose perspective of the details sometimes. You made it apparent again that those things matter just as much. So..thank you! Always a great influence!

[@ostwaltmediae.u.8250]

If you would like to shoot really expensive cars, you don't have to start out shooting a Lambo. There aren't a lot of people owning a really expensive super-car. Just ask your family if someone wants to borrow you their Audio or Mercedes. You don't have to begin with something super expensive.
