Join us for an engaging workshop with Calvin Courjon designed to elevate your car photography skills from pre-production to post-production, featuring luxury sports cars. Whether you are a beginner or looking to refine your techniques, this workshop will guide you through every stage of capturing stunning automotive images.
Pre-Production:
Start your journey by learning how to plan your shoots effectively. We will cover essential elements such as scouting locations, understanding lighting conditions and selecting the right equipment as the first steps to get you prepared for the perfect shoot. Pick a tip or two on how you can convince owners to allow you to shoot their cars, how to secure private access and approach them for future projects.
Pre-Shoot:
Before the shoot takes place, we will discuss important pre-shoot preparations, including styling and visualisation of the space that you have been given, as well as techniques for presenting cars for the best visual impact.
Shoot:
During the hands-on shooting session, you will put theory into practice. Under the guidance of Calvin, you will explore various shooting techniques, including dynamic angles, detailed close-ups, with a model and with more than one car. We will also delve into composition and natural lighting to ensure you capture the essence of each vehicle, whether it's a sleek sports car or a classic beauty.
Post-Production:
Conclude your workshop with an overview of post-production techniques. Learn how to enhance your images using software like Adobe Lightroom and discover how to create a cohesive look for your portfolio.
By the end of this workshop, you will not only have a robust understanding of automotive photography but also some stunning images that showcase your newfound skills. Time permitting, Calvin will be happy to share invaluable insights into pursuing a professional career in automotive photography – the importance of branding, how to build a strong image across lifestyle and social media platforms, how to sell your work effectively and understanding your rights of use.
