Ever dream of becoming a car photographer? Here’s your chance, visit Sexy Subaru to shoot studio shots of the 2009 Forester.
It’s so realistic that the assistants have already set up all the lights and then one of them drags a board over where, no surprise, the goddam art director has carefully laid out all the shots. Oddly, you’re shooting slide film and you only get 24 shots per setup.

What, no rig shot on the side of a mountain?

For fun, I went to the site, shot the shots, downloaded them and color balanced the images. I then created a really fun e-promo (telling them what else I could shoot) and sent it to their art director.
A month later, their food made me sick. I guess for them, revenge is a burrito best served cold.

I’ve thought about doing a lightbox-style portfolio like they have when viewing the images, but I don’t think I would have been able to pull it of quite that nice, and I think it would probably get old if you’re viewing a bunch of images in a portfolio… I’ve got to agree that I was wishing I could move the lighting around and move the camera, but such limitations are to be expected I suppose. :-p
