Classic and sports car photography Manchester

For this Ferrari car photography shoot; Brian Classics wanted a high end car photoshoot in Manchester to really let this gorgeous Ferrari 308 shine.

As an automotive photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Brian Classic and Co for quite a while now. I must say for a petrolhead like me it’s a pretty nice job.

The shot above is taken by myself harnessed into the back of my van with my battery powered studio lights clamped into place. It’s being able to light the image in this way that gives the pin sharp pan that you wouldn’t normally attain by just using standard photographic panning techniques alone.

Classic Ferrari photoshoot in Castlefield, Manchester

Castlefield in Manchester is now a swanky place full of nice bars and restaurants . There’s still plenty of it’s industrial past though to make this a go to place for many a photoshoot.

Shooting in the ‘golden hour’ is something that us photographers look for but it can throw up some problems with shadows. These shots were taken with the help of the previously mentioned battery powered studio light filling in those shadowy details ensuring that non of the lovely detail of this Ferrari were missed.

Light Painting the Ferrari

This last shot we added for a bit of fun. Light painting is a technique first used by Picasso. Its something I mostly do at Festivals, for corporate clients and at shows and events but it can look well with cars don’t you think?!
