Hi, I’m a Car Photographer, and I’ve done quite a few shoots in the past, some free some paid, with some amazing cars, for example I shot a lamborghini tour in the Yorkshire dales and an M5 & X7 for a car dealership. I’ve probably made about £300 in total from photography. I’ve emailed about 10-15 Companies around me asking if they would be interested in my photography, social media management & developing videography skills, with quite professional sounding emails. I’ve not told any of the company’s the price or the fact I’m 14, but haven’t got any responses at all even though I genuinely think I could help companies- I’m stuck on what to do. Any advice is appreciated or critique on my photos. I have a free photoshoot this Sunday of a Porsche 356, as I know the owner quite well (who also has a 992 GT3) but nothing after. Thanks so much

You have some nice examples and a good eye, just consider that when you’re shooting a car, you want it to be the centerpiece. Nothing should be in the way or steer a viewer’s eye to something else. For instance the photo of the car coming out of the garage with lettering on the left, it’s distracting, crop the photo to make the car the focus. The lamborghini framed by leaves, right idea but it’s zoomed in too much. The leaves are blocking the driver’s door. Take out some books to understand the law of thirds.

Making the car the emphasis of the photo cannot be emphasized enough. I upvoted the comment but I upvoted several comments so I had to reply to do extra to show that I wanted this comment to stand out. You need to strike a balance with providing context for the car and avoiding unintended distractions. Just takes practice. Don’t be in a rush to be a standout at an early age and miss out on the opportunity to develop your skills and talents.

Yeah a few times my eyes went to the brightest spot. Or negative space. Definitely framing the subject and using some adjustments to lead the eye into the subject is the most important criticism imo
