Most Car Photographers DON'T KNOW How To Do This PROPERLY! Here's the Answer to YOUR Questions

[@PhilipBlank]

18:23 Too real! I post on the side as a hobby but the creativity coming and going is an emotional rollercoaster.

[@TheCarCreative]

@@PhilipBlank the ebbs and flows of any creative work is tough. I had to really learn to be ok with it since I left my full time job and do this full time. Gotta have grace for the process. 😎

LOTS of cars look good with snow themed pictures!!

[@SupahStudio]

Great advice for the rollers! took me awhile to get the hang of it but once I got my camera figured out, man I got some crazy shots. A few of my favourite shots I've managed to grab at 1/4 Shutter

[@Hard_Luck_Garage]

Awesome video Alex!

[@eci111]

Hello, I would like to ask you how I set the autofocus on your camera when shooting a video. Thank you for that creation, I found a lot of inspiration in it.👌

[@ezequieldiaz4533]

17:46 bro the worst place to do car photography is argentina. It is like 1 or 2 spots to find good cars and there is always a lot of people on those spots. And if you would like to survive in car photography at this country, the only way is going to EVERY car show or car meet, it doesnt matter if the best car at the meet is a vw jetta, you have to go bc you will run out of content super early

[@dustmicks1]

What size frame do you have on the wall? And then also what size prints are the photos?

[@Flat6Rebel]

Thank you for the insight! A lot of great advice here for anyone starting and experienced

[@TheCarCreative]

Appreciate that!

[@Gorillaathleticsofficial]

Hey dude ! I’m also a local in Calgary ! Super new to the scene and I’m just getting into it using my phone and sometimes gimbal for now but would be sweet to see you at a public event if you still go to those !

[@JasonRumley]

Realky enjoy your content. Reach out if you want to do something in Nashville! I have a few exotic cars to start and access to more. But more importantly, open to helping you grow your channel and learn some stuff as I do have a hobby love for photography. Look forward to taking offline.

Thanks for another great video. Really enjoy your content. Also congrats to you and your wife for the new additions to your family.

[@TheCarCreative]

Thanks so much! 🙏🏼

[@stew411]

@@TheCarCreative sure thing sir. I’m really trying to step up my automotive photography and love your content

[@Artofspeedd]

Great information bro

[@NoDoSwLa]

Hey man. This was an awesome video with helpful information. Cheers!🤝

[@TheCarCreative]

@@NoDoSwLa thanks for watching! Glad it was helpful 👊🏼

8:46 this is the EXACT reason people need to not assume always using like 1.8 for the blur effect, cause it’ll make it annoying if even possible to capture multiple subjects in focus in one photo

[@dwdesign2873]

When starting out, and not charging for shoots, how did you go about starting to charge? Im worried that if word of mouth spread people may assume ill always be free, and that if i said i was charging, i could potentially lose clients

[@MBauer-op6vx]

Sweet video! What lens (if you had to choose one) would you choose for the lumix s9? What was the lens on the video? Thank you!!

[@TheCarCreative]

So tough to pick just one lens right now. That’s the beauty of the Lumix ecosystem though, you can buy several lenses for the price of one canon or Sony lens haha. What kind of shooting do you do?

[@MBauer-op6vx]

⁠mostly cars and family. Thats what I’m seeing, the lenses are SOO much cheaper than the RF lenses for my Canon….

[@inchaosfury]

Awesome video, mate. Plus, I'd love to know your opinions about car photos inside games, just like Forza Horizon 5, Gran Turismo, and many others. Thank you! Cheers!

[@TheCarCreative]

Thanks man! I think that photography inside of those games is an incredible way to learn the craft. They have all the same tools that you have in photography! Plus, you can learn, composition, lighting, etc., all inside that game that you can translate into real life when you get the opportunity to shoot cars.

[@inchaosfury]

​@@TheCarCreative- Awesome! And I totally agree with you! Thanks for your reply!

[@edmontontangobar4991]

Thanks for this, great video, and I think you answered my question! (I'm sure others sent the same one in too)

[@TheCarCreative]

Glad you enjoyed it, and hopefully I answered it. Well! Thanks for watching.

[@Mas85Photography]

Did you say you had a coupon code for the course?

[@Mas85Photography]

Also where is the podcast you were talking about? 15:45

[@jonnymooshoo]

IMHO if you trust your skills don't offer to shoot for free. Your work and time has value, don't dilute the automotive photography industry by doing free shoots

[@TheCarCreative]

I agree with you, but if kids or young adults are starting out, they need to learn essential skills before charging. Of course any competent photographer should charge for their time and skills appropriately, but answering the question of “how to start” I wouldn’t start as a beginner by charging money. I didn’t at least, and now I charge a good sum to do my shoots. Every path is different though, and I do appreciate your perspective. Cheers!

[@brandonfrye2902]

Yeah but you shoot for free if you’re just starting 9/10. Word of mouth goes far longer than you’d think.

[@ThePistonPit]

Which camera do you use to shoot your professional car photos?

[@TheCarCreative]

Currently using Lumix S5iiX and very happy with it. What about you?

[@ThePistonPit1]

@@TheCarCreativethat’s just it… thinking between the Nikon z6iii or the sony a7rv… what do you recommend?

[@Valuiskihh]

Kas made great rigshot with Sony A290, now i have Canon eos rp, also makes great shots. So camera you have is good enough, just make sure, you have proper exposure for certain conditions ❤. If you know basics of composition, this video is just for repeating knowledge. As for me, hobby photographer (@bald.with.camera) i just repeated this basic tips. For those, Who begin with 0 experience - useful information!

[@aPhatPhoenix]

RP was nice. I ended up trading mine in when they came out with the R8. Even better. Has the same sensor has the more expensive R6 Mark II
