Man, how do you guys get photoshoots? Do you just ask? Do you always know the owner very well?


I started with business cards and sharing my work. You kind of have to pursue at the beginning, you can't really expect people to come to you.

Well my problem is that there are so many other photographers in my area, and a lot of them already know the owners personally. And a lot of them are total douchebags (the owners and the photographers).

I have a few questions:

1. How much do you usually charge?
2. How often do people decline photoshoots?
3. Do you choose the location?
4. Do you ever get shoots without actually meeting the owner in person (like through instagram or something)?
5. How did you make your business cards?

Shot a handful of cars recently, these being two of them. Doing a shoot alone is actually really frustrating though.

Alone meaning you drove the cars there?

Yeah. It sucks not being able to have someone move the car when you want to change a shot though.

Is that one of the press cars? If it is then I've seen it.

It's car #38 and has 7000 miles so yes, but I'm pretty sure it's not the original one from Pebble Beach. But I imagine it still went to plenty of dealers.

I was thinking it was this one I saw in May, but I now realize this one is pre-production spec.
