Got to work on this GReddy turbocharged BRZ a couple of days ago. He's pushing +300hp. Has 45k miles on the car, he was turbocharged back in 15k miles.

He does 1:25 at Streets of Willow, which is freaking fast. I did a ride along that did 1:28 and almost shit my pants.

My Jeep is dirty as fvck right now compared to this.

On second thought, it's just dirty as fvck in general.

 

All of my cars are filthy Curse you winter!!

 

Boosted yet?

 

You have no idea. Not sure "winter" is the word I'd use for NC.

 

I told him to wash his car so I can shoot it right. haha

We no has winta here!

Winter is coming.

No, stocked out!

Does it snow a lot there?

 

 

We had snow this season!

Once

I can't wait for the new season!

 

Went up to ACH to take some pics with friends and customers. It was so glorious! Super hot in LA but breezy up 4500ft.

I started doing Mustang interior too. Starting S2K, Miata, and Corvette this week. Busy week but fun!

Nice!

 

Looking good, glad it's prospering for you.

 

Interior looks pimp, but automatic FR-S?

 

Starting out pretty well! Thank you

haha a lot of my friend actually have the automatic version. Traffic they said. haha

This one is JRSC-ed. A very good set up, but yeah, it's an automatic.

I'm working on a S2K this week.

Damn man, I may get in contact with you for some of my interior bits if I can decide whether or not I'm keeping the Coyote! Your work looks impeccable in the photos!

 

Thank you for the heads up!

So pretty up in ACH today.

Had so much fun shooting this S2K that I worked on... a beautifully set up car. He's really, really, really fast in the canyon and at the track. I was in the shot gun going up ACH, the car just simply has too much grip, especially with the wing in the back.

Some eye candy!

Happy birthday and yay tripod!

When seeing your pics on Flickr, I was wondering how many lights do you have? If you added one more two more you could get rid of those shadows and spruce up the photos a bit.

Alien bees FTW!

 

I think the shadows are good to have, it adds depth to the picture.

Also, congrats on getting a tripod.

 

Didn't you just start taking pictures too?

 

Is that lipstick red?
Love the tone

 

Thank you!

I don't have any light source yet! Those white background shots are taken at the patio with only natural light. Placed this white paper against a camping chair. I just bumped up the highlight to whiteout the background a bit.

I'm picking up the YONGNUO YN300 Air with the wireless trigger to try light painting soon.

Thank you! Yes, the shadow makes it look a little more "cool" to me for some reason.

Yeah! Everything's with my new to me used 60D and 50 1.8 lens.

Burgundy! It's very classy and fancy at the same time. haha Just finished this BRZ panels today in that color. Doing a quickie photoshoot on Monday.

 

Well damn, you're doing a good job at it.

 

Damn is right...
If it's lucrative enough, get vendorship, Jin...you're good at what you do and you would likely make enough to make it worthwhile.

Gorgeous shots...all a dem.

 

Thanks dude! Just having fun with it! So much to learn.

Thanks brother! Maybe once I set the portfolio for 15 different cars, I should get the vendorship for sure! Grateful to be so busy non-stop these days. Expanded out to 8 car platforms now and have 4 more different models ready to go by next 2 weeks. Haven't even touched any of the individual car pages but getting a lot of local referrals right now. Super thankful.

A couple of guys are actually making a roadtrip to LA from Arizona to get their cars done. 86 Group in New Zealand is trying to set up a groupbuy to send the bulk panels to my place.

It's been good! I'm so thankful man!

Did the new STi and Si the other day.

Just finished the full interior set for this local C5 Z06 that's running 700hp. Doing a photoshoot on Friday! It's a black car so I'm kinda scared to do it. haha

 

Don't be scared!

 

Jeez, man...
that's great to hear, and I love your updates! You've been so active!
Suede, huh...shoot...I might take you up on that at some point too. Looks great.

 

Dude you're killing it! I'm happy to hear that business is doing so well

Those S2k panels sure are pretty

 

Dude, your photography is getting to be really good.

JMO, if you want to step it up a notch you should pick up a circular polarizing filter for your lens. It'll get rid of a lot of that glare and reflections on screens and other shiny surfaces and make things pop a lot. This helps a LOT with black cars since you get nice, even shine and not a ton of reflections.

 

Black cars don't get a lot of reflection?

It's art, there's no advice to be given!

 

Alright!

It's sad though! My car gets no love these days. The car has been parked for almost two weeks now. haha Just using wife's Avant for hauling stuff for work.

It's all good though.



I think the S2K panel shapes are very distinctive from other cars. They just look.. glorious. haha

I changed the S2K rocker panel one for perforated black, the owner wanted to see how it looks. He's keeping the perforated black set up. It looks sweet!

Thank you!!! Your advice helped out a lot! Loving it.

You are totally right. I will pick up that filter next week! Do I shoot it a little overexposed with the cpl filter?

 

Took this with my Note 4 a week ago before the delivery.

And this with my 60D. I didn't find this picture until yesterday.

There's just something about S2K panels. Look so beautiful.

 

What? I said use the CPL filter so you DON'T get tons of reflections.

I'm not messing with his style, just advising equipment to get a different/better result. How he uses it is up to him.

 

I get it I get it...he uses his equipment and you help him thrust.
Just giving you a hard time. I know you know your stuff, too bad you don't post more pictures. I'd enjoy seeing them.

 

mmmmm those S2k panels. Me gusta.
