TaylorGT's Portfolio [Automotive Photos]

[TaylorGT]

Hey guys - jpl4k3 suggested I post some of my work. So I'm going to post up a little forum portfolio if you will. I'll update it every so often. I've really slowed down doing automotive shoots in the past year though.

Anyways, I've been doing photography for about 4 years now. Picked up a camera only to shoot my car and its kind of blossomed into a weekend hobby/side job. A lot of people ask why I don't invest in strobes/reflectors/rigs etc. I would love too but I personally think those things would be for someone who's looking to make a name for themselves or money. I rather enjoy the challenge of using natural light and have become rather skilled with Photoshop to make up for what my equipment lacks.

I'm no pro, and I learned how to do this from scratch. Everything I think I "know" about photography was learned from other car enthusiasts and on photography forums. Its kind of fun to see how I progressed as a photographer below. If anyone has an questions feel free to ask me. I'm not a snobby photographer who wants to hide my secrets. I think learning to take great photos is fun and everyone could benefit from it.
