Brochure progress

OK thought i chuck up my editing of my overall car exterior shot that is going to become my colour guide in my brochure

Same photo edited to achieve the real colours that Lancers are available in. This is not the layout that will be in the brochure, it is only meant to show the colour changes.

Front + Back cover of brochure

Ok here is what I think is probably my final layout for the front and back cover of my Lancer ACTiV brochure. Location shot taken near Lake George.

Second car shoot - exterior

Second time in the studio, this time with the exterior being the focus
Here is the (edited) result

First car studio shoot

Ok so I spent the morning in the studio shooting the interior of the Lancer, here is the result of that shoot

I used 2 lights (a big main softbox on the right, and a smaller one on the left shining in through the passenger window. A reflector sat below the camera on the seats (which were folded down) to reflect some more light onto the lower parts of the dashboard.

I will be reshooting this to make sure i get more detail down in the foot wells and also to make sure the rear view mirror is actually attached to something rather than floating the middle. I will also turn the headlights on so the speedo and tacho are illuminated

Some more folio research

I have been looking up photos of the model of car I plan on shooting (or at least very close, theres not too much cosmetic difference between an Activ and an Evolution :) )

I thought I'd post some of em up as they are some of the types of shots I'll be aiming for.
