Free Car Photography
Discussion
Hi everyone, hope nobody minds me putting this up, and I plan on putting it up in other sections of the PH forums provided that's OK.
Some of you might remember that I've offered something similar before on PH last year, and the offer was taken up by a very nice chap with a F360CS. That was essentially a practice session for me which was leading eventually up to this. I've since gone through my RAF basic training and I'm currently in my Defence Photographer training, a very intense 6 month, tri-service course from which we'll graduate as LBIPP-accredited photographers. We've been tasked with a photo essay, on any theme of our choosing, comprising of 10 images. For this, I've chosen international car culture, and the plan is to photograph 10+ different cars from the UK, Germany, the USA, Italy and Japan, as a sort of Top Trumps set of images, showcasing the best each of these cultures has to offer. I'm looking for one modern, and one classic/retro from each to also show how these cultures have evolved. I'd like a few cars to choose from for each so that I have a nice selection with which to choose my final images from.
The photography is completely free. You'll get digital copies of the images (most likely on CD/DVD), as well as 8"x12" prints. The copyright is retained by the MOD/Crown, so you wouldn't be allowed to use these images for advertising etc, but by the same token neither am I, they'll be used solely for my coursework. Just for reference sake, a friend of mine recently paid £300 for two 8x12 prints on top of a £40 studio fee. You won't be paying anything, bar maybe a little in petrol to a photogenic location, though preferably one that is local to you so that it isn't too much.
If you're interested, please get in touch with me at Boost_Addict@hotmail.com or NocturnalPhotographic@live.co.uk (preferably the former as there may be an issue with the latter). Just include an image of the car (doesn't really matter how basic it is), some quick details of the spec if it's modified, and where you're from as ideally I'd like to travel out to you so you're not incurring costs. Also if you could include where you saw or heard about this offer just to help me, as I'll be hopefully trying to get the word far and wide! This is open to absolutely anybody, you, your family, friends etc. If any professional drivers/tuners want to get involved, then even better.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, any help would be massively appreciated.
