How To Instantly Take Better Car Photos On Your Phone (And Editing Tutorial In Lightroom Mobile)

[@victordossantos5067]

My first camera ever, the Sony ZVE10 arrives tomorrow. You have inspired me to get out of my comfort zone, get out there and just start my journey. Thank you for what you do, and please never stop posting your pictures and tutorials. I'm really glad to have found your page on Instagram! Take care and stay safe out there! ❤️

[@Tokin_Alien]

Heck yeah! I started on a rebel T6 it’s not about what your using it’s about how u use it ❤ have fun 🔥

[@Daily370z]

Im looking to buy one black friday or during the post christmas sales, cannot wait!

[@Kaii.]

Brilliant video. Would be great to see a follow up where you go to the next level, using RAW format, utilising the other lenses and desktop applications in a different type of environment and then even a third level where you use pro/high level equipment!

[@rick4162]

I second this would be pretty cool to see

[@drivedvisuals]

Tip: If your phone supports it, use the built in portrait mode, and on newer iPhones and Samsung, photograph upside down, it looks soo much better

[@preetipujni1]

il try it

[@srdjandjuric6455]

Why upside down?

[@ytlobered]

@@srdjandjuric6455I’m not too sure but i know sometimes it’s good cus u can get ur lens closer to whatever ur taking the pic of like if ur placing it on the floor to take a pic of something low u can get closer to the floor

[@B17a1_gsr]

I really appreciate this man! I like to do photography as a hobby with my phone, and for what I do I can’t justify buying a legit camera yet. This was awesome Thank you so much!

[@lizmartinez8042]

I'm in love of your job. I always love photography, but I can't afford a good professional camera, but I have an old Nikon that gets the job done. But just now I'm thinking of making it more then a hobby. In my city not always you see "good cars" but I keep trying, that's when your account came in. I found you Instagram and now I'm obsessed with all your photos. But one of the most admirable things about you is that you keep sharing tips and lessons for everyone instead of keeping it for you, and that's really amazing, I really admire you and I hope I can get as far as you're now, keep the amazing job!!! (Sorry for the bad english too)

[@eriklindstedt4314]

Bullseye, sweetspot and thankful are the first things that comes to mind when seeing this video! 👍🤩🙏 I'm quite new at photography but been working as a teacher for 20+y and this video is just spot on in how to do an introduction/summary on a subject! I could probably write a masterpaper on why I think so but as an amateur photographer You just gave me a perfect summary to use as a base to expand from when shooting cars! Just awsome! 👏👏👏

[@lifethroughoptics]

Wow! Thank you so much for the kind words! 😊🙏🤝 I really appreciate it and it’s great to hear that you got so much out of the video!

[@MatiasAutoPhotography]

Such a beautiful tutorial for mobile photography!! I’ve been feeling frustrated with my photos lately because of the fact that my only camera for photography is my phone’s (iPhone XR) and I don’t feel that I have enough detail in my shots. This helps so much! ❤

[@JadenPoirier]

This is the most usefull tutorial i've watched, I'm 15 years old and am doing my first ever shoot for somebody and all of my previous edits werent really realistic and thats probably why i wasnt happy with them, but just seeing the difference after editing a car i took some photos of not to long ago was crazy. Anyways after watching this im a whole lot less scared to disappoint my "client" im doing it for free but i hope he tips me lol

[@backtothegrid3531]

Had a few photos from the Fox Collection when I was at the GP, lightroom definately helped make the images more presentable even if the angles werent fansastic and the images were quite grainy but it definately helped! This really helped me feel more confident taking photos and not second guessing myself.

[@ToPro10]

This literally helped me soo much 🙏

[@hazptmedia]

Finally I’ve been waiting for a video like this

[@Manoe3RS]

Very good video! Been here from the start and you are only making progress👏🏽

[@odawg6310]

You’ve helped me so much and i can’t wait to see how you grow and inspire others. We are always here to back you. Much love!❤

[@nnwccc]

Thank you so much man, I'm into car photography but without any photography knowledge is quite hard, your vid honestly helped me a lot, keep the good work up! 💪

[@D7review31]

Thank you so much for making this video You just teached me so clean and easy compared to my other teachers this is really useful I really appreciate your time and dedication 🙏 to make this content for us

[@lincolnmorrey]

Amazing first vid

[@BurkeBarfield]

What a first Video. I've been exited about this one for a while and have been following you for a bit and you have encouraged me to work towards experimenting with videography more and I have begun filming pov's for Instagram shorts and I hope to get my first one up soon and I cant wait to work towards a whole video one day👌

[@abdulhakeim6242]

Is there a video you can put together for best shooting methods on camera for car photo shoots? Different weather, times of day, iso, shutter speed and aperture.

[@Drezakmedia]

Fantastic video! Just stating out with car photography and this will defiantly get me practicing more! I have a question, you didn't touch on using HDR mode.. I understand this is just the basics but does using this advice and HDR mode work together or would you edit the picture differently using the HDR mode?

[@SamuelsenOlai]

Make more of these 👌🏼

[@grass4434-nj6mv]

thanks this vid helped a lot

[@Jhonfryet867]

Would it be possible to do a video like this but for outdoors where light impacts taking pictures? I noticed when shooting the sf90 on your insta you mentioned the lighting being unfavourable and consequently thought this might be a helpful topic to cover for a lot of amateur photographers.

[@antilagmedia]

the one with the ferrari?

[@0k_sanctity]

hi! i really enjoy your content and i'm wondering, what type of camera do you use?

[@clorox1676]

Some great tips. I feel like you could give a little more nuanced advice on each tip, but then I get this is a kind of "quick tips" video. For example while you're absolutly right that foreground is important for composition one should never forget what's the main subject of the image and if whatever you are incorporating into the frame doesn't add anything to the main subject then you must leave it out. 2:18 The idea of framing the car with the leaves is good, but a good advice is to make sure that whatever you're using to frame the subject shouldn't take the viewer's eyes out of the main subject. That those bussiness cards on the table are very distracting and it's unavoidable to look at them. I'd totally crop them out. On the other hand, the framing with the Ferrari works very well because the shape of it creates lines that point to the Porsche, so it complements it. My advice is to be very aware of whatever is around the main subject and just incorporate things into the frame that directs the viewers' eyes to it instead adding stuff that may distract them just for the sake of adding stuff. The person who sees the picture don't look at it the way you see it when you take it, so you must compose the frame in a way that points the viewer what you really want to show them. Just my two cents.

[@lunarzak]

We need more tutorials asap!

[@Johnno919]

wow love this I never new there was so much more to lightroom! I'll be coming back to this

[@MotormanMedia]

Great video, what camera are you using on your chest as you walk around to give that POV perspective?

[@migi7150]

I’ve been thinking about becoming a street photographer as for a hobby when traveling and thinking of buying a camera didn’t know I can start shooting with phone, I currently have the Iphone XS Maz

[@ramongmd]

I would recommend getting a camera with replaceable lenses. That way you can grow into the camera. Usually don’t worry about a camera too much. Focus on the lenses. Get a cheap or used camera.

[@LukaPerkov]

Amazing video, I also have an Iphone 14 pro so I was wondering what settings could I change in my camera app to make the photos look even better?

[@nurrxofficial1815]

Enabling raw photos in ur actual settings under camera helps alot when editing 👍

[@LukaPerkov]

Thanks, I will try that.

[@timo_db4989]

[@raeantonio9390]

great video, do you have any opinion on editing on Mac photos? is it any good or is Lightroom a lot better?

[@sercanaydn521]

After your videos, I made a Sony a6700 and Sony 85mm / Sony 18-105 set. What lens can you recommend to me? Do you think these are enough? Or is there a lens you want me to buy? 🙏🏻🫡

[@nayanjyotichamuah8668]

Can you share us some raw shots for editing practice?

[@j_moreira3469]

You should post more long-term videos!

[@Epictes]

Does this also apply on people pictures?

I am a beginner looking to buy a mirrorless camera. Please assist me in choosing among these three options: the Canon EOS M50 Mark II ($686 in India), Sony ZV-E10 ($740 in India), and Sony Alpha a6000 ($518 in India). Some have advised against the Sony a6000 due to its age and suggest that the Sony ZV-E10 would provide better long-term value. I welcome your recommendations or any other suggestions you may have.

[@ninjaclimber7158]

Hi Ben, thank you for the video. Interestingly, I had just sent you an email about this topic around 5 hours before you uploaded the video. Nonetheless, thank you for your help. I will be sending you another email soon, showcasing some before-and-after examples, and hopefully, they will look great. Best regards.
