Indeed. The first photo (car) is too warm, the area around the wheels is underexposed and the car color is too washed out and different from the actual car color. The second photo (engine) has way too much under- and overexposure and it's complete junk. The last photo (speed meter) is also a little underexposed and lacks color.

More tips for selling: 1 include as many photos as you can and please use landscape 2 If you like make the first photo seen a front corner shot with the wheels turned towards the opposite corner like its on the cover of a magazine 3 Taking pictures in your yard, nicer area or in my case the gravel near the field across the street looks a lot nicer than the am/pm parking lot 4 NO snapchat or instagram photos, captions and filters are usually a dead giveaway you are young and stereo typically do not have $ for maintenance 5 If you use filters make is a subtle one and use it on all photos to bring back color if the photos look dead 6 Show as much of the car as possible, all body panels, 1 or 2 interior, 1 good landscape engine bay pic showing the whole bay 7 your goal to an extent is to show as much of the car in the ad as possible, an ad with good pictures and enough simple detail will keep expectations even with the car. 8 Get that car as clean as possible, nobody likes somebody elses mess. Wash, vacuum and at least wipe the engine bay with a rag (dont hose it, ends bad) 9 Be sure to include all necessary information, year, make, model, engine style v6,v8 etc. , engine displacement, rwd,fwd, awd, 4wd, mileage, general options like a/c or p/s if not all of the cars had it like miatas. 10 Remember you are trying to sell the car so you need to be honest, but the buyer also needs to make the call themselves on what is wrong with the car. If the steering wheel isn't dead straight but it doesn't pull it is not worth mentioning IMO. Remember lots of pictures and to the point Keep-It-Simple-Stupid

I would only say to stick with the style and be consistent with it once you have had a lot of experience, in my opinion new photographers should always try new style and techniques and when you find something you like save it but keep messing around with it until you feel that you exhausted all possible styles you can think of, I personally did what you recommended and while I really liked it one day I decided to do the opposite of what I would normally do, I started out doing very warm shots and eventually after almost a year of experimenting I found that I like cooler photography better, may just be me tho, one of my friends did the same thing I did and experimented a lot and loved it but another friend didnt like to do that

Ten more tips: 1. Sometimes leaving the natural color of the photo alone is better. Stylistic color is fun for posting online but it doesn't necessarily "improve" the shot. However, /always/ check to see if adjusting your highlights/whites and shadows/blacks can improve the photo. 2. You CAN shoot with the main light source somewhere behind your car! A lot of professional photographers and cinematographers even prefer this technique. Just make sure there's enough ambient light that your car doesn't look too dark. 3. A perfect time to try "light behind the car" is during sunset or in the hour before it, AKA "magic hour". The sun's low angle will cast long shadows and a warm beautiful look on your car. Think about how many pro car shots have that golden sunset look. 4. Learn what The Rule Of Thirds is! It takes less than a minute and a quick Google search to learn, and it will give you a basic idea of how to get good composition easily in your photos. 5. While you're on Google becoming an expert in just a few minutes, look up Leading Lines! Leading lines add depth and draw attention to the subject/car. 6. The glass filter used in front of the iPhone lens here is called a circular polarizer. Rotating the filter allows you to get rid of various unwanted reflections on your car or make the sky appear more blue. Just get one! You will have a lot of fun and you'll get better photos. 7. As shown here, your background is important. Ideally, place your car in a location that might already be worth taking a photo of on it's own as a landscape or aesthetic shot. Try to take an appealing photo of both the background AND your car /at the same time/. 8. They also sort of show this in the video, but never underestimate the power of turning the face of your front wheels towards the camera, whether the shot is from the front or the rear. You don't need it in every shot, but it's a lot like posing your car for the camera. 9. Got Photoshop? Cool. It's actually very easy to edit a still image of your car to have motion blur on just the wheels and background (not the body of the car itself) as if the photo was taken at high speeds. Tutorials are everywhere! The key is to take a dramatic low angle shot of your car (driver not visible) in a place where it COULD be zooming along. This will stand out, because people don't tend to have an "action shot" of their car. 10. This last one should be obvious but... if you're actually taking your car somewhere for pictures, please wash it first! A dirty car looks cheaper than it ought to in photos. "Eh, looks good enough" is not good enough.

One more tip. Consider tour timing. You can make your photos look much nicer by taking them in evening, or early morning. This makes the colours warmer and often much more interesting. Also the lighting is generally milder at this time, so it can reduce highlights and make shades softer. This enables you even to make photos with the sun in the shoot without having a lot of trouble with contrast. And this trick us very easy to implement.

For me, the best way to learn stuff like that is to look at the stuff I like and then analyse it, why I like it, why it works, where's the subject, what's in the background, where's the horizon, how are the colours, where your eyes are drawn to the most when looking at that picture. It takes a bit of practice, but it's rather easy once you get a hang of it. From this video I LOVE the advice to use your legs instead of zooming in. It's so simple, yet a lot of people don't get it.

I photograph cars for a dealership for work and I'm telling you, a DSLR or even a point-and-shoot will give you much better car photos than a smartphone. The biggest thing for me is the adjustable focal length. With real cameras you can stand further back and zoom in optically (not digitally, so there's no loss in quality). This allows you to get more car in your photo while having the vehicle look proportionally correct (ie. the grille and headlights don't look huge compared to the back of the car). Also yes, a cloudy/overcast setting is best for lighting.

Another way to take great photos is to use a proper camera app. Don't use Instagram's native camera, it never shoots in high enough resolution, import your images from the on-board camera app instead. Flagship phones usually have a decent one, especially when you switch to Pro Mode. For the rest of us, OpenCamera is a good free app with lots of professional features, and it makes even average shots look amazing.

Actually zooming isn't bad if your phone has more than a single camera and one of them is a telephoto or more For example when they used the iphone in the vid it only had one lens and for zooming it just zoomed on the screen and not the camera itself so basically they lost a lot of resolution On a phone like the galaxy S10 you have a wide-angle and the telephoto,where the x2 is loss-free The P30 pro has a lot of zoom capability (up to 50x) but not exactly without loss but good enough

Yea... The guy who was doing the editing didn't really know what he was doing, slidimg the highlights down in vsco, rendering it, picture gets compressed, then throwing it into light room and turning the high lights up and the whites down? Wtf do you you want your highlights to do 😂😂😂😂😂

Should have done all the processing on Lightroom, cleaner output, can render without any additional compression

The funny thing is I sometimes disagree with simply moving closer and farther when shooting a car with a smartphone but for a different reason: equivalent focal range. Your usual smartphone camera is gonna be 24-26mm, which can warp how particular elements of a car will look in an image shot. The tele lenses on most phones are trickier to use but I find offer more pleasing results when you need those close-ups as those hover around the 50mm range, which is about how we see normally, which helps resonate an image with the viewer better, a la the human element. The wider range is good if you want background though

The best camera in the world is the one you have with you. Composition will get you the best photos, photography is more about your thinking and artistry then just having a fancy camera. Plus the Contax and Leica on that desk are probably worth close to that Miata. (Not accounting for sentimentality)

I have my camera "tuned" for landscape because it helps with the car details in the sun. Also, use light exposure settings for mega sunny locations. Awsome Video Dounut!

Physically moving and zooming in are very different things tho. If your phone is capable, you can zoom in & get a better angle. That secondary telephoto cameras exist for a reason. Also editing depends heavily on the user. I don't usually make use of heavy filters for instance, but go nuts once in a while. It's just a matter of taste and depends on everything.
