Having got all excited in early June about starting the first of several new websites about cars, photography and driving, I paused for a moment to re-assess exactly what I was trying to do. This ‘moment’ turned out to be several weeks long, as I re-thought my whole plan about these sites and decided to totally re-write one of them, so apologies for the lack of forthcoming info.
So, here’s the first site I’ve been working on. Driving Images is designed to be a growing resource for car photography enthusiasts. Talking to performance car fans, it’s pretty clear that many of them are also into shooting photographs and video, or at the very least enjoy looking at great car photography and reading about how the shots were created, so D.I will build over time into just that resource. The concept was well received by everyone I flew the idea past, including other car photographers, so I’ll be covering everything we can think of between us to showcase car photography.
Car Photography 101 will be a section for people wanting to know more about how to get into car photography. Step by step, I’ll break down the different aspects of shooting cars, from choosing cameras, lenses and gear to techniques and tips on shooting action, motorsport and location photography and become a permanent resource for learning more about car photography.
I want to interview some of the great car photographers out there and show how they work, what inspires them and get their views on the world of professional car photography.
There’ll also be other features about cars, driving and some of the road trips we get involved in, plus behind the scenes at some of the big car events and photo shoots we’re involved in. So head over, take a look and sign up for email updartes as the freshest content is added.
Above all, send me your feedback. Leave a comment and tell me what you want to see on Driving Images and give me your views on the site, the design and what we can do to make the site the killer place for car photo enthusiasts worldwide.
