    People's Choice Awards for Best Vehicle Photos?

    The topic of photo count, is the proverbial Ouija board. Every party has a hand in pushing and pulling the puck to a negotiated fixed number. The dealership wants as much exposure as possible. The photographer wants as a little as work to do as possible. But the job of the photography is to show...

    Uncle Joe's Makeover Diary 2.0

    Shadows heading off in different directions give it away. Not so obvious in this example but give it an hour of taking pictures and the last car will be dramatically different than the background. AI can be a little glitchy. There’s a big chunk of the shadow of the hood missing on the ground in...

    9 pics per vehicle??

    What this says is 60 percent of the photos you were taking are as effective in absence as they are in their presence.
