I just wanted to have fun, so I photographed a Dodge Viper.

So I rolled the Dodge Viper into my studio. Here are some shots.

After doing different shots with the blue gel, I switched to red and reshot the photos.

Now how did I take all these photos? Well, first, I was walking through Sam’s Club and saw the Dodge Viper and decided to buy it on the spot. So yeah, I spent a whole $12.95 for a model.

The Setup

I moved the softbox further from the background and more in front of the car for the first photo and did a similar with the first red photo.

I suggest playing with something like a car and photographing it in a different light. I also highly recommend buying a black car versus a lighter color car if you want to learn how to light.
