shit man make some calls! help a brotha out haha
What are you planning to do with the photo’s? Where would I meet up with you at?
the pics are gonna be for the emersion clothing website to show our product line for summer
in the city the photographer is gonna call me and let me know where to meet up so if you shoot me your number ill call ya and let you know as soon as i know where we are meeting
its gonna be early 9am till about 4ish
If I knew anyone up there I would. I’ll see what I can do though.
OP: you should really check out my site…
i have. my friend miday did some work for you guys.
its not what im going for. no offense the cars and girls are great but they arent going to be main focus in the shoot. its a lifestyle kinda feel if that makes sense. it will actually have a great contrast between the background and the actual lighting on the people. like i said earlier its not gonna be girls half naked draped over cars. thats not what this is about. its more of a “real life” styled setting where the cars/bikes/people are all interacting as if it was going on and captured in a picture. the 2 day shoot will basically tell a story if you will about the various peoples interactions with one another. i wanted something really different for my clothing site so this is why im doing it this way. ill still do studio shots with plain backgrounds but we arent looking to go the bikini bathing suit direction.
the cars you guys have on the site are sweet and if your looking for some really awesome airbrushed street bikes lmk i got some magazine worthy ones i could send in your direction 
oh and i added ya guys on myspace i know a bunch of thoes girls on your site. small world 
Right. I understand your direction. Our direction is not fashion, it’s glamor. But your shooting “theme” is a theme that I shoot every day. Just because the girls are wearing more and further away from the car doesn’t change much. It’s all about lighting. Shooting outside in unpredictable Pittsburgh is tough enough as it is.
Also, I have access to an unlimited supply of almost any kind of car (and models). I’d like to help you out, but we’d probably have to talk in private.
I’m curious… what local models are you using?
im using a few girls that are my friends. they are pretty but they have a more edgy kinda feel which i wanted for this since the girls that were used before i had LOTS of comments about it looking more slutty and the girls buying the clothes would rather see them on someone less bimbo looking so to spreak. not that we had them dressed slutty i guess the whole really tan blonde thing kinda impacted the people buying our clothes and they didnt think that fit. which i agree. im over using pittsburgh “models” anyways haha. minday was gonna do it but she works. i know pretty much everyone in the city which if your doing this im sure we may have met before somewhere. thats a good look on the cars i wish you would have mentioned it earlier although i could use one more for sat.
pm me we can talk about some other stuff. if you can get pittsburgh models i bet i can get the same ones haha and no point to both going out of our way. we can bullshit just hit me up.
oh and if you didnt catch it here is the guy we are using. hes a pittsbugh native but has his studio in nyc now.
he doesnt shoot digital shots which im super into. all his pics are more gritty and kinda obscure. this shoot he said hes using a new technique hes only seen done once before so im hoping to get some pretty cool shots. if you check out his portrait work you will kinda get the idea as to where my ideas are as opposed to a glamour kinda deal.
IDK if this is what your looking for but here is one of my cars
no offense but no
actually im thinking i would want some old school cars if possible. like ratrod styled stuff. my friend mikes linc isnt done so if anyone knows of someone with such a car let me know :bigok:
None taken that cars actually on ebay now, not my taste. I have a 73 grand prix too but I don’t have pics
I have my car, its sitting here with a new motor right next to it, could swap it out in a day or 2… I have no desire to switch the motor right now because right now, I can’t do what I want to do with the car… so until then, it will sit for however long that takes. Right now I am focused on our business, etc… which is more important than a car.
The car does not have to run for the photo shoot anyways. I don’t think I would be interested as the last photo shoot was a nightmare… nothing was organized, it was really early in the morning… and the photos never made it anywhere. We were suppose to be in a warehouse, the morning of the shoot something happened and we could not use the warehouse, etc… I was promised high res photos of my car, didn’t even get them. It ended up costing me money out of my pocket and not being able to sleep in on a Saturday morning! All for nothing…
I look at it like this… what do I get out of this ordeal? To spend $4.50 a gallon for diesel to drive an hour to the city to help someone else out… screw that. The only picture I think I got back was the one in my avator and its not even high res…
when did you put mudflaps on the supra? 
I heard about that whole ordeal. I’m now the official photographer for our company.
Pm sent too.
Here’s my Civic. I could throw on my Gold 17’s w/polished lip if you wanted, though I think maybe these dark wheels fit a little better. Let me know if you’re interested, no offense if not, it is just a Civic.
Alternatively, I don’t think it fits but just in case, there’s the Renault:
If anyone does ever need a professional photographer to get pics of their car my dad does this. He use to have a rolls and loves all cars. Let me know if you are interested.
