Hey guys,

I'm looking for a nice car to take some shots of to chuck in my automotive portfolio.

My work can be seen here: www.jasongilholme.com

I've just bought myself some wireless trigers for my speedlite and wouldn't mind putting it to good use on a good looking car. I can take pics of my daily anytime but its not really worthy of the photos i wanna take:

For your time you'd get a bunch of hi res jpg's that you can print/share etc.

PM me or email me at [email protected]

Thanks

Jase

Good amount of interest so far. This is great.

I hope my car isn't included as one of those three black ones. Its disgusting lol.

A group shoot would be fun, but depending on peoples schedules & locations i don't mind doing a few seperate shoots.

hazrd
8th February 2012, 12:23 PM

The SRi is usually kept quite shiny. Even when the rain gets it dirty and it drives past it still shines

Most people can usually get in on a group shot on a Friday night

I dont mind travelling (southeast) but cant get the car until after 5 when the missus gets home. a night time photoshoot in docklands would be good. there are a lot of good spots down there!!

Should have another crack at a bolte bridge shoot maybe?

How about the setup at south melbourne market? Seems to be a great spot which we have used in the past

I agree, central, good spot, also nice and quiet.

If everyone agrees with this, is everyone happy for me to set a date?

Alright. tomorrow is probably short notice for some. so how about next Friday the 17th at around 8:30pm??

The rooftop carpark is on Coventry Street, South Melbourne. This is what the entry looks like (its hidden between a heap of shops)

Isn't that rooftop hard to get into for lower cars? I seem to remember the entrance ramp at the top may leave a few stranded? Anywhere new we can take pics? As Pauly said, it's been done, but I'm no use in suggesting new places!

I'll quickly try scope a few new places out with city views.
Docklands have a couple but will have to check.
Bolte is always a good place. Haven't been in a while so not sure how much it has changed.

Could do Hosier Lane, but again that's for 1 car maybe 2
There are a few graffiti places that for more than 1 car tho...

Could try some old train yards...

JasonGilholme
9th February 2012, 03:08 PM
All these ideas are great so far. Train yards and graffitti are appealing as well as things like gravel/dirt roads. Cobble lane ways would be cool to. I'm all for taking shots of individual cars as its the kinda stuff i want to fill my portfolio out with, but some of these locations won't be great for a big group of people.

Hey guys and gals,

I won't be able to do this Friday night. My girlfriend asked me if I was excited about Friday night, and i said "yeah, it will be good to meet new people and take some more photos of cars.". Her reply was "So, I guess you've forgotten about the show we're going to....." *insert mean face from girlfriend here*.

Is the week after good for everyone? That should be enough time for these bruises to heal.

sorry
