No way in Hell, Earth, or Heaven could Mansory make anything remotely attractive, let alone something that could star in a porno. Is this the same Mansory that built this:BEWARE: NOT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED
http://www.topspeed.com/cars/porsche...y-ar91453.html
The incompatibility is starting to give me a headache, no joke.

These mods dont play around. Especially when pics of Aston Martins and Aventadors are on the line.

So Jeff what are you taking these pics for? Are they for dealers to sell cars, magazines, or cause owners want pics of there cars on white backgrounds?

it looks like you could benefit from a fill-flash, mounted on cam? like the side of the Lambo is underexposed, but the rest looks ok

Externally lighting it with some profotos didn't help in shooting the cars 50-60 shots inventory.
So most of the cars are shot as of handheld high iso
I spoked to the previous photographer that they used and he said its impossible to do anything better with how their studio is set up. He said he would take a whole day on one car and 50-60 shots hes like forget it.
lol... wait are you talking about the two lambos i shot or the aventor doh*

no I mean put a regular flash on your camera and use that as a fill flash - just dial-in the flash power so it balances out the lighting - I do it like that frequently, works great. Or, you can also use a couple of large softboxes behind the camera

use very soft light - very muted so itll be a smooth fill light. I think my second suggestion of softboxes is better than the flash - but you could probably do it somehow on your flash as well - with some kind of DIY setup - think of anything that can diffuse and mute light - white sheets, styrofoam, etc.

I tried a bunch of diy stuff and fill light even with strobes in boxes... but it was a problem. also they weren't happy that it took time to shoot the cars. they kept saying time is money, so I made compromises that would work. Its about 6-8 cars a day 50-60 shots. Then color corrected/ edit/ and uploaded to their ftp.
Some guys from chimera came in just now and their discussing what to do about the lighting situation =)
it will be much better once they figure out a new setup.
