A while back a friend asked me if they could use my Boxster in a short film, they needed a sports car for a photoshoot scene. They offered to pay for a detail, so I let them use it. The lighting in the professional car photography studio made every blemish disappear.

Unfortunately, I am not allowed to post the pictures with the actress fawning over the car. Also, it was a reputable film, not the other kind.

Thanks, I actually took all of those photographs!
It was 99% the lighting of a professional car photography studio.

Before we handout the Oscar to the lighting & detail crew, why would you light half the car & leave a shadow on the other half? This highlights 1 radiator grille & attempts to hide the other? What is that strange blemish/damage below the passenger door trailing edge? Detailing crew doesn't do lugnuts? I used to do car photography car prep at SouthBay Studio in Long Beach. Maybe that's why I only have 2 beauty shots of my Box!
I'm not criticizing the car just the prep. I have always wanted to get studio time for my Box & hate to see it taken for granted.

The first time I was not frustrated driving behind a semi on a two lane road. Is it your delivery?
