Plan the shot before you stop
Decide on your one must-have photo on the way across the causeway. Usually it’s you leaning on the car with the skyline behind. Get that first, then play.
Get low
Have your photographer crouch down to headlight height. Cars look lower, wider and more dramatic from below.
Shoot the front three-quarter
Stand off one front corner so you see the front and the side of the car at once. It’s the angle car makers use in their own photos.
Take video too
A short clip of you pulling away from the stop is often better than any photo. Ask your passenger to film it from outside the car before they get back in.
Don’t forget the details
Badges, brake calipers and the interior make great close-ups. The Huracán’s orange calipers and the McLaren’s red paint with its doors up photograph particularly well.
