My first shoots

[Frederic Louis]

Hi guys!

I'm quite new to the forums here, but I would really like to show you some of my work I've done.

I started with automotive photography in September of 2010, so I'm still new to it. Which started as a hobby, soon evolved with some dozens of people which wanted to get their car or motorcycle photographed.

As it is a hobby and not a full time photographer job, I'm still dreaming of having a photoshoot of a supercar one day.

But here are some of my works. I don't know if there are experts here on the boards, but if you can, I would really appreciate any critics -good or bad- on my photos. I still want to learn things and find mistakes in my own pictures, and that's where you can help me.

Thanks in advance!

In your "motion" shots, there isn't enough motion... you've kind of sucked the energy out of the photos. Think in terms of photographing "energy."

#8 the M3 fender/wheel is probably the one image I would tell you is not good. The angle is tiresome, the tire surface is dirty and there's simply no story in the image. Looks almost as if the camera fired while bouncing on your hip.


Fundamentally, you have some good compositional ideas.

Number 3 is quite nice. Welcome!
