Car Photography Photoshoot Checklist with examples
I’m making this list as much for my own use as anything, but it might come in handy if you’re looking to sell your car and need a list of photos to take.
I was recently asked to photograph this impressive Porsche 911 for the owner, who was listing it for sale. If you’re located in the South of England and need a hand with capturing some quality images of your car, feel free to get in touch for a quote or look at my pricing page to get an idea of what it would cost.
