Farewell To The Supercar Killer From Japan: The R35 GT-R

[@LarryChenPhoto]

Yup, two videos in one day. let's go

[@Cmfrs503]

Amazing job Larry, was just wondering if you have any tips for a beginning photographer who wants to do the same kind of work?

[@pablinoski0580]

THANK YOU!

[@RezBoaDawg]

You rock, Larry (and team)!

[@drdesmo8489]

As others have said”Thank You Larry “ for all the love you give to what you do 🤙🏼

The R32 put performance car manufacturers around the world on notice. The NSX forced Ferrari to innovate, grow and stop treating its customers like they were doing them the favor by building and selling the car. The R35 combined the equivalent technological advancements, reliability, and world beating performance of both. All 3 cars initiated a paradigm shift as result of their existence. LEGENDS!

[@abrahammarroquin384]

You mean to say the z32 twin turbo put all car manufacturers on notice back in 89”

[@mykdmenez]

As an R35 owner I am incredibly honored that someone of your talent was tasked to create such a beautiful send off. Great work, sir!

[@qazialimohayuddin6526]

Show your R35

As a r36 owner, I. Gla d too

2023 R35 owner here - your work is amazing - my computer screen saver is full of your work - The Sunset pic really captures the emotion we all feel. Well done !

That setting sun in between the 2 Godzillas... That for me, is the Emotional shot of 2024! 😥

Man. I was just talking about this with my friend last night. It’s such a hero car. I really hope Nissan builds an r36

[@alanstorm6915]

Or make more GT-R 50?

[@miixfixxgarage]

You've represented Nissan to the utmost my guy. My first import I fell in love with back in high school I saw for sale was a red '91 Nissan 180SX. Unfortunately, I couldn't convince my parents to help me out in purchasing it so I settled for my granny's '85 box Nissan Sentra 😅. However, I digress the Skyline to me is the pinnacle of automotive excellence that was made to be learned then driven. When I learned that Nissan would be retiring it's production of 'Godzilla' I immediately reflected back to when music geniuses Daft Punk announced their split up. Certainly understandable after all the years of hits after hits, the same can be said with Nissan's assembly line of the GT-R. To sum it all up, Larry you've made your mark in Nissan's history.

[@CUTS3R]

@@alanstorm6915 Why not both

[@YourMom-vl2sp]

It is coming. It is going to have a crazy hybrid drivetrain.

[@oneoffnate]

The fact that we even have to question if there gonna make another generation is crazy actually

[@themajesticmanic]

Congradulations and thank you Larry!!! 💙💜

[@spoonv]

Great work as usual Larry! What an honour it is to see this R35 off by one of the best car photographers in history. Thank you so much for making this video!

[@SirCumcisi0n]

As an R35 owner I am incredibly honored that someone of your caliber was tasked to create such a masterpiece of a send off. Amazing work, Sir!

[@YachtReport]

Great final photo Larry. More of a Porsche guy but respect anyone who loves their type of car.

[@galantdesign]

Thanks Larry for presenting all those feelings from our beloved R35 GT-R great shots Great work Keep on doing your lovely work and we can keep enjoying!!!!

[@Danijamali1]

you did a great job Larry, for us amateurs (photographers), you are an inspiration.

[@rcalcaide]

Well done! Love this video and format! I’ve owned 3 R35’s in the past 15 years. A legend of a car!

[@DungarooTV]

Each to their own, but the R35 never held the legendary status of it's younger brothers...for me the R33 and R34 GTRs were king of kings.

[@CRUMB.]

​I think you are just being close-minded. The r35 has done similar things, just in modern times. ​@@DungarooTV

[@JEFFsoBOMB]

This is great, Larry. I'm glad that your love for cars translates into your photography and that people like those from Nissan sees that too. Awesome video!

[@JEFFsoBOMB]

(Especially inspired as an aspiring photographer myself!)

[@markkiyabu2462]

LARRY, YOU DO A GREAT JOB Of shooting photos, also Explaining Every the Vehicles & owners/ people involved, Keep up the great work!!!🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@cj41079]

Another legend to the sunset..... Thank you Larry for sharing ❤

[@RezBoaDawg]

I will forever love the R35 GT-R! I will own at least one someday. Love you Larry! I love videos like this. You inspire me!

[@hansahlborg]

No one could have done it better... No one! You and your team has an eye second to none when It comes to car photograhy... And it shows so clearly how much you love cars!

[@erikarnold6853]

yes please more technical videos about photography and video. we love how you shoot and love learning those aspects as well, if not more! I have learned a lot from you.

[@Solo5010.]

You're the man Larry. I have my perception but then you give me a real In depth of perception and I appreciate it. Man, and I also appreciate your love for cars.

[@Kr8zyVids]

Love the content Larry!! I think this is the best type of video to make for one of the more emotional photo shoots you’ve been invited to do!! Keep living the dream

[@robert_boss]

“You touched my heart You touched my soul You changed my life And all my goals Goodbye my lover Goodbye my friend You have been the one You have been the one for me “

[@WilliamBurdine]

As a Professional photographer myself, I can so appreciate your work... while I specialize more in events, I still love cars and it's pretty rare to have access to an amazing car and my time and conditions to do it... but your work is very inspirational. I would love to see this style of shoot again, but with some more of the "vision" behind it as well as why the technical selections and lighting you choose as well as some of the settings to see you working through the shot process to the final image. Thanks for this share!

[@kuyakaloy_]

I think this style of a content is underrated. It's not that bad. Great content!

[@carlosavila1155]

Thanks for this awesome send-off. I remember when it was rumored to come out. Watching the Nurburgring video was amazing, back then. One day, I will have a GT-R in my car collection.

[@visionmauto]

Any video from Larry is a good video. Thanks for all you do man!

[@markhetherington6964]

What a great way to send off the legendary GT-R R35 by asking you to do Larry.😮 You couldn't have asked for a better way with that sun set. Awesome!!

[@charlieaydin1377]

Great job man. Glad they had a fanboi do the shoot, and so glad it was you as you seem to be supremely talented. The shot with the sunset spoke to me man and made me emotional. We may not see another, and if we do, I hope you’re there to shoot it. Couldn’t be happier to have found your video, well done, and please make more content like this.

[@penguinarchitect3495]

I like the style of this video, feels just like talking photos with friends

[@jimmycammarano]

Larry. Thank you. Loved this format. Doing this occasionally to show us how you approach a shoot is great thanks for the insights to stuff I know nothing about More of this on top of the usual thank you.

[@thereandbackagain2022]

Every time I see you photographing. It inspires me. I always love the content when you show us you photographing and working in the scene. That's the content I wanna see more you photographing cars.

[@iainf6]

Fantastic results Larry, excellent job 👍👏👏👏👏👏

[@derekjohnson7292]

Great send off Larry!!!

[@DJ_NOOB]

This was a great video. I do love it when you give the back story as well as when, as you said, show how the sauce is made. It IS inspiring!

[@DirtySk8RatStaney]

That sun set picture is absolutely perfect!!

[@VoltageCtrlRtv]

Excellent video, work, and journey! Thank you.

[@darkcity925]

that sunset shot is pretty epic, well done. I'd probably photoshop out the drivers' heads and whatever the top of the building that is just peeking at the left side of the horizon but you're the pro and maybe it adds to the wabisabi-ness. it's a stunning shot either way and the Nissan guys must've been stoked.

[@sgsheff]

I love seeing the light come through between the tire tread and the track surface

[@KevinBratetic]

You are a living legend and your art will live forever as one of the greatest ever!

[@JoshuaC923]

Man that's so bitter sweet, thank you for your work

[@J2B3]

this is one of my favorite videos you've done so far. feeling inspired.

[@BrightEyes8513]

Love the passion you have for the things that mean the most to you. Grateful for you sharing it

[@Carsaddiction]

Thank you Gran Turismo, as that's why I got and love with my R33 GTR

[@rishi5714]

Thank you is all I can say... These beautiful images of our ultimate object of love! Thank you! But also so very sad this is the final send off of such an automotive icon, the masterpiece of our time... Heart broken...

[@gc767christmas5]

I am going to Japan next year because of you please continue to do great work

[@citrusjuicebox]

Given how tough midnight purple 4 is to photograph, I think your work came out fantastic. Thank you for your hard work!

[@rikudouray]

R35 has special part in my heart. The design is so timeless and legendary. In Nissan I trust, design/built wise. ❤

[@RedWolfGTR]

Fun fact the GTR Skyline edition is the first and last Skyline badged Nissan sold here in the US by Nissan.

[@RoloCar]

They never sold skylines here

[@corrywilliams-e4z]

interesting

[@FaridFauzan2405]

I remember Kawabata won D1GP championship for 3rd time in 2015 Using R35 GT-R and also 2018 Solo run championship of D1GP as well with Trust Racing in Japan with Toyo Tires as well.

[@silverbullet1979]

You did a phenomenal job Mr.Chen, that sunset photo is actually my wallpaper now at my PC... Thank you so much...

[@williambuntyn1902]

That's so cool! Wondering when they will show the replacement?

[@FootageFactory]

Love how calm the video is. Reminds me of Gran Turismo

[@matteugenio]

Loved this! Hoping the R36 will continue the passion for the GT-R…

[@sprintermaximus]

I'm a Porsche guy and owner, I watch your stuff regularly. But man, I have always loved Skylines. I will have one someday. I'm sad to see the R35 go. I hope a new R36 is in the works.

[@johnbehneman1546]

TOTALLY AWSOME VIDEO LARRY!!! I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. PLEASE CONTINUE TO SHARE YOUR TRUTH.

[@DjRuBSP]

Amazing and informative video! Most appreciated!! 🙏

[@AngelRamirez-mn3vu]

You did a great job! Man those pictures are so crisp!🔥👍🏾

[@TunerGuy_90]

I'd argue... probably the best "all around car" ever made. The reliability, aftermarket support, pop culture, daily driver/weekend warrior, mild to wild builds, street cred, and living by the term "if it ain't broke" don't fix it. 🖤 Automotive perfection imo.

[@shanetyler9391]

Love your content Larry have been a Nissan fan boy too since 2004. I have owned 2 S30's 1 S130 and 2 S14's. I also have a 1995 Nissan pickup with the v6 4wd 5speed manual Transmission extended cab. Iam the 2nd owner of the Truck i have had it since 2006. The truck currently has about 153k on it still runs strong!

[@Cmfrs503]

Always amazing work Larry, definitely enjoying all the content 🔥🔥

[@Migu31m]

@larrychenphoto this style of video has a flow where we get to go with you on the experience with you in HD and enjoy the pictures, process and story. You are my inspiration to make photography part of my income and this video has really showed me how much of an impact a picture and a person with a passion for a camera can make. Thank you for sharing your passion and keep on inspiring

[@gentlemandrivermx]

I was looking down while I started the video in tv…then was like, wait did I open a throwback DDE video because of the intro sound 😅. Larry great video; wouldn’t mind more like these. That black 300Z was sick too.

🎉 Congratulations Larry... You are a One of Kind Inspiration , and a True Legend . 🇯🇵🫡🇺🇲

[@Shep-dq6fw]

Great job, my friend. It was beautifully done

[@kresnanugrahas]

I watched this car launched first time in my country Indonesia and it looks so good, crazy how 17 years later i still can't afford this thing. it such a beautiful car with crazy power.

[@andrewSUN17]

Awesome story Larry! You are truly blessed to be on such an iconic journey, hand in hand or, hand in steering wheel with this legend and all the way from infancy to riding off into the sunset! I wish I had been on the scene and even had the opportunity to offer my music or mixes to the soundtrack. It is still to this day one of my favorite cars ever and I do hope that things flow in the direction of owning one of the last of them! I actually wanted to write a personal letter to Makoto Uchida and beg him to not end it now! Hopefully they can extend the builds a bit longer! I feel it would be a mistake not to, as there are still many younger buyers desiring this beauty! What are your personal feelings about this era coming to an end? BTW, it goes without saying that the photography was also awesome!

[@bryanvictoriano370]

Introducing the new Z and saying farewell to the GTR, great work Larry!

[@diegoescobar92]

Amazing job your doing man, congratulations

[@JuanLopez-oz9kh]

Sad to see it go. Great job! another legend , hopefully is not 30 years for the 2nd generation.

[@MrTimstaaa]

Great video Larry. Loved it. 🙏🙏

[@wademiyataki9221]

They’ve been saying R35 was going away for years, guess it’s finally happening… Don’t get me wrong, I love the vehicles, but I love hearing the stories that accompany them. I remember when it launched and I remember the video about its creation. Never thought I’d be able to get one, but it was finally coming to the US. Kinda sad to see it go, but hopefully there will be a worthy successor one day. Great job, Larry!

[@ryanvestal4146]

You captured this perfectly in my opinion!!!❤🎉🎉🎉

[@jalengray1107]

That midnight purple is just gorgeous ❤

[@Yang5st3R]

Love the shoot Larry and all your work is such a high level. One suggestion would be is to touch on how iconic the Godzilla really is. It would truly help the viewer who don't know the story. Sad to see the Skyline go away. Great job.

[@nonalcoholicmartini]

You rock larry. love the storytelling

[@MattTreg]

That photo of the silhouettes driving towards the sun has to be one of the best automotive photos I’ve ever seen

[@TheJMedia]

So cool to see the R35 GTR come full circle from unveiling to sending it off

[@hiphop7381]

golden Supercar killer for sure! also its one of the best aftermarket platform for car lovers. ex: Liberty Walker, which made remarkable as worldwide Japanese Fuji MT. spirit 😁

[@urbanstrencan]

The R35 GT-R is just perfection for me, the dream JDM to drive one day and hopefully own one ;) Larry you need to get one in T-Spec :) Keep up the amazing job :)

[@Jesskellya]

I think we are living in the best era for these cars, my dude.

[@FCT8306onTwoWheels]

the feels when you mentioned Gran Turismo generation, great stuff man. Thankful to have driven an R31 GTSX which i turned down and it was a military service member deploying hence needing to sell and they even hit me up like five days later with a discount and i still turned it down. Shucks.. Got a chance to drive an R31 sedan rwd and it was nice too, favorite was a 93 chaser Tourer V bone stock and it was nice nice. Way to go with the video #makenissangreatagain

[@ralphpeiris5996]

I have a 2012 Nissan GTR and I got a greater appreciation when I went to Japan and saw the car there. It made me appreciate my car and the culture in Japan. I felt so much connection to my GTR when I got home. I missed Japan. I am disappointed to see that the R 35 GTR will be getting discontinued. I will treasure my GTR and pass it down to my kids . long, live the JDM culture!,!

[@emperor002002]

Man, we should have a global celebration of this car. If I had the funds I'd host one in South Florida. A caravan ride from West Palm Beach down to the Keys. All hail the Giant Slayer! 🫡
