Dear In Headlights

[sedetweiler]

In several of my previous posts I have shown shots from the "Heavy Metal" shoot I did in the Green Bay area. Today I want to cover another shot from this event and discuss the particulars that might be of interest to readers of this blog.

At the event they had this big yellow car (showing off my car knowledge here). It was unique in that the color was this matte-metallic-yellow and it was pretty bulbous. You car junkies can feel free to comment as to the car type if you would like. My goal was to produce a CD type of album cover image and realism was not really in play so going over the top was encouraged. First thing I needed was to find someone with shiny pants, and given the event, this was not difficult. I also needed someone with a nice behind, which was also not difficult. I totally lucked out with the addition of the fish-nets as I think the texture adds even more interest.

I love the post production. Not only am I into nice behinds but also quite a rocker myself - so this picture gave me a good vibe and I would love to have a similar album cover. The bonus for me is, that you can add a cool looking license plate with the bands name right between her legs.

Beautiful work, all of it is excellent. I wish I had the skills to produce work of this standard.

thanks for all the great comments. I do the entire image post production walk-through on my blog for this image. There is nothing stopping you from taking images of this type at all.

There's a car in that picture?

excellent work Scott, and thanks for your blog pages - it really helps me to understand how you approached and executed shots like these.
