Anyone know of any photographers that are just starting out in automotive photography?
Looking for someone to come on private rally who'd be interested in shooting a group of 10-15 cars. Must be able to show their previous work related to auto industry. Thanks

There are very few 'automotive' photographers. There are plenty that take photos of cars but at a junior level, aspiring photographers will be building their skills across a variety of genres.

Unless any pop up here, it would be worth getting in touch with local colleges / universities to see if there's any students interested.

Alternatively, you could speak to these guys: https://www.getapic.co.uk

My club were looking for background music for short videos of matches and training to put on the website. I approached a local college; well institute it called itself. They were enthusiastic, helpful, made suggestions, and charged little. All I was required to do was to credit source. Each student had agreed to the arrangement. I had to submit a form and was given limitations as to use.

Evidently, they are quite used to such requests to the extent they had a noticeboard specifically for them. I said we couldn't afford much, they said they had fixed charges, which turned out to be lower than the max I was given.

It helped the club, it helped the institute, it helped the creators, and all without a downside.

Thanks for the tips, defo worth approaching colleges.

Yeh just wondering if anyone who comes on here and is already doing photography who might have just started out professionally - or looking to go pro, or a semi-pro - but has huge passion for cars etc.

Will check out the link. thanks guys

I can't help I'm afraid, but it may be helpful to others if you divulge the location of the shoot.

Near Manchester would be my guess.
