Must-Try CAR PHOTOGRAPHY Techniques | Behind The Scenes

Check out Storyblocks: www.storyblocks.com/ChrisHau
In this video, we'll explore different techniques that I use when shooting photos of cars. We cover everything from light painting, panorama stitching, low light and long exposure to shooting with models. We touch on the automotive photography editing process in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop as well.
Thanks, @Mercedes-Benz Canada for the GTR car loan.
Thanks to the @TheStraightPipes for the additional footage of the GTR!

We obviously all have dream cars we want to shoot. What is yours?

[@JoshMiles]

I'm sure this format was a lot more work, but I love the storytelling @Chris Hau looking forward to more of these!

[@Shotokan_Greenland]

I really want to experiment with strobes on cars, at some point... I'll take what I can get and work my way up hehe

[@blingdawg14]

ill love shooting a cayenne turbo

[@arvind6644]

I CAN FALL IN LOVE WITH ANY CAR BUT THE MOST COLSEST TO MY HEART ARE FORD GT , AND MUSTANG

[@MattLavergne4]

Missed the pinned comment but a dream car to shoot would be an original Ford GT or even the Saleen S7 🥰🥰

[@jeremysoojk]

Who else is loving this documentary-like style? 🔥🔥

[@thechrishau]

So fun to try a fresh format. Takes a lot long to create - but the result felt really good

[@allaboutpassion33]

@@thechrishau It really is worth it. Absolute quality content!

[@Heyitscristian]

Resubscribed for the new format

[@taohudson]

Loved it, felt so much more involved in the video

[@ClaudioDesideriFilms]

Count me in 🙋‍♂️

[@BeckiandChris]

Excuse meeeee LOVE this format!!!! Great video!

[@EK61Official]

Can you Watch my car Photography And Give your opinion🙏

[@NorthBorders]

Daaamn amazing photos man 😍

[@thechrishau]

Ahh thanks homie! One day we’re gonna shoot together.

[@NorthBorders]

Chris Hau once the virus is sorted I’m down 🙏

[@AimaOj.]

Haha. I'm not surprised to see you here knowing how much you love shooting cars. 😅🙌🏾

[@EK61Official]

For More car Show Photography Give it on my Channel 👍

[@nsphotography4590]

@@NorthBorders this makes me happy! Follow you both!

[@Joey.Alford]

Died at the broll of the golf lmao

[@Joey.Alford]

Update: new format is killer. I can’t imagine the time it takes to do but I’m super into it

[@niharpotluri9472]

Ngl, i was half expecting a brand new golf!

[@masontromero]

YOUR IMPRESSION KILLLLSSSSS ME ("YeeeeeeEEEaaaahhhh, tightightightightgihtght let's dOOIT")

[@thechrishau]

hahaahaha.

[@MrDomq22]

I'm a full time automotive photographer now and I have to say, it's probably the most fun I've ever had behind the camera. Another Genre of photography that I really enjoyed but don't do anymore is sports photography, especially Soccer or Futbol. It was always a blast capturing the emotion of the game. Great images, Chris.

[@Schmiddis_focus]

Keeping it simple: please. more. BTS. like. this. Awesome Videos, those really inspire!

[@thechrishau]

I am so happy people were into this style. Thank you so much for watching

[@forzaman639]

As an automotive photographer I would love nothing more than a Chris Hau automotive photo and video channel. Anyone else?

[@RCodyWanner]

Love the style / format man!

[@thechrishau]

Thank you man!

[@Mulvey_]

Those poses with the ski masks turned out SOOOO SICK

[@GoPowerSports]

This format was the best. Keep this style.

[@ashujainvi]

Love this new RAW content. Nothing pretentious or trying to make things look good. Just pure usage of skills to make a nice video!

[@Catbert814]

Great tips! I just picked up a AMG myself. Next time hold down the left paddle when you hit the engine start. It activates "emotion start" and sounds wayyy cooler

[@ArkitectFitness]

KZbin influencers actually going out and doing photography/videography instead of junk b-roll of them drinking coffee. Bravo, Chris. Bravo.

[@kevinreyesphotography]

Love the new format! Helps everyone see there are multiple ways to execute a banger. Can't wait to see more Chris!

[@CodyStoner20]

Cars are quickly becoming one of my favorite things to shoot. Had a rental 2020 lime green Mustang GT for a weekend a few weeks ago. I still have about a dozen shots to edit from that weekend. Also really like the new format 👍🏻

[@benjamindavis8906]

This is really cool to see someone get into cars from a non enthusiast prospective. If this was another video about the AMG they would be talking about the specs, the shots would probably highlight a bit more of the performance prospective and worry a lot less about the scenery around the car. I’m just interested in taking a few pictures of my own car but this has really opened up my mind. I appreciate this

[@allaboutpassion33]

Storytelling in this video is absolute gold 🔥 I love how you try to tell a story instead of just uploading a quick tutorial

[@bngbox]

Love the new format. I love this walkthrough of your photo process. Can't wait to see more!

[@NigelSwan]

Waaay better. I tend to nod off on most talking head videos or stop them half way through because they can drag, this felt like the time just skipped by. Love it. I shoot cars racing at motorsport events and haven’t yet done a static shoot, so this was 👍

[@coltonbushue]

Love the fact that you’ve been getting into more car photography🙌🏼

[@Zondaa]

Absolutely love vlog style videos like this, i'm learning so much

[@LCfit]

I have only been doing photography for a short while (1 year), I always liked landscape and street images. But lately I have been exploring other avenues, been doing still life photography (which I love), tried product photography (again something I love and never thought I would) and yesterday I tried car photography which was hella fun. I have a rental car today whilst mine is having its service, I am really tempted to go and shoot some pictures of it. Cheers Chris for your videos :D

[@NathanPidcock]

LOVE THE FORMAT

[@nojanhajjeforoush8776]

We need more of this!

[@jaysantiago-BX-NY]

YES, lovin' this format!!👏👏👍 And thanks for the simple explain of compression with longer lenses!

[@STRAIGHTP]

More car photography! Awesome seeing that tower getting bigger with the 70mm

[@arnaudcavalletto]

Absolutely loved the format. Would totally be down for more videos like this one.

[@pierre-loup]

Loved the little peek in your workflow, definitely would love more of this type of vids!

[@charleslambexplores]

Love it !!

[@gumbynomad]

LOVE this kinda stuff!

[@NathanVMountain]

This video was really cool and really enjoyed it, which is saying something since anything about cars never really interests me normally! I would say if you enjoy making this style of video then yeah definitely keep doing it like this! But only if you really enjoy so that you don't overwork yourself and burn out 😃

[@wutrbagz]

Love it Chris!

[@ryanmurray420]

Loving the format you should do this for a production company shoot and have everyone on the team narrate from pre to post production

[@thechrishau]

Interesting!

[@joshstevenson7168]

I'm loving this new style

[@nixofftime]

So much fun to watch now

[@Leioda1]

Love it. By watching your video, I improved my car picture quality for my auto detailing business.

[@photoguy9]

This was awesome! Loved the new style! Automotive is the bulk of my photography (Mechanic/enthusiast it was bound to happen) It's nice to see new and unique spots in the city that haven't been beat to death too. I'd love to shoot around TO sometime and can bring a handful of subject cars!

[@safouanekhamassi]

love this style, really original ❤️

[@pbpburke]

Love this type of format of video. Definitely love to see more. Would love to see a bit on the photos you would take of the interior. Don't see too many people doing a video on that.

[@taohudson]

Loved the new format, nice to see something different yet still just as helpful :)

[@vincent6022]

I think this is the best video I have ever seen from you! Great work! More car photography and cinematography please! Your a true legend!

[@JakeMogstad]

Those shots of you guys talking at the beginning look amazing man. I usually see people get cool broll and that’s it, but you just go above and beyond with the production value in general here.

[@justcuzitsepic5874]

i was blown away by the stitching of all the frames . i had no idea we could do that on lightroom..a bit late in the game lol

[@davidxu8352]

Love behind the scenes format! 👊👊
