Owners of new standard cars in the Bath area
Discussion
To skip the life story, the bold paragraph is the most important one.
Hi,
For those that don't know (most probably!) I'm a student at Bath Spa University, currently 3rd year doing photography, one of my projects is Automotive Advertising, creating brochure/billboard style shots, of that high standard etc.
Now obviously for this, you need cars, and no matter how clean the car is, the style of image just isn't really convincing without a new car, or at least a current model.
My current plan is to hopefully be able to work with a dealership to borrow their cars (most likely with an employee driving as I doubt they'd just lend me cars) and produce images that they can use in the dealership, of the cars in the local area, landmarks etc. (If you know anyone who might be able to help with this please get in touch)
HOWEVER, this may not come through, and this is where you all come in! I figured PH was probably the best place to ask this, but if you have a current model (doesn't have to be new reg as that won't be used) thats unmodified (this is fairly important) and in good condition, and would be interested in having some professional quality brochure style images taken, just putting your name down would be great. I may not need to, but this is the backup plan. The car doesn't have to be anything exciting, can be a little commuter or whatever! I can't offer any payment but will give you some high quality prints of the images, and a heavy discount for my services in the future.
To prove I'm not just some guy with a camera (although the uni course sort of should do that), feel free to check out my Facebook page - www.matthewdear.co.uk
Cheers for taking the time to read.

Depending on when you need them by, I'm due a new company car the beginning on April, well as long as my employers get there arse in gear and send me a list so I can choose!
Is this the kind of then you are after, will no doubt be nothing special kind of 1 series bmw on c class merc. Not sure if April will be too late though.

Not sure if this helps but how about you do a shoot of my car and my business partners car and we pay you for your services? We are close to Bath, would like to wait until weather improves. You can add to your portfolio etc etc.
This is something I have been trying to get sorted since March last year.
Let me know if your interested please.
Cheers
Rob

Okay cheers guys.
April will probably be a bit late. But as said doesn't need to be anything special just 'new'.
Mini is one of the dealerships I'm looking at and think the car probably suits Bath etc.
Robbie I'll PM you.
Astra could also work I'll let you know.
If I end up using you guys I'll probably spread it between a few cars to minimise the amount of standing around etc you all do!

t model but new none the less
Matt's photo's are top notch! He did some of my Mrs' TTRS a couple of months ago. You're guaranteed some very good photo's of your pride and joy if you take him up on this.
Some of the pics can be seen here: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
