In today's video we talk about Creative Lighting techniques for Car Photography - and we do a full Light Painting Tutorial how to shoot and edit. Lighting painting is a great way to make your car photography stand out. I'm using the Aputure 120D to do the light painting and I am really happy with the results. Download the RAW photos in the link to follow along with the edit in Lightroom and Photoshop.

What are your favourite settings for night-time photography or light painting? Help a brother out with your favourite lens/settings combination! If you do the edit tag me on Instagram, would love to see your take on the edit ✌🏼

@mracekproductions 2 года назад

Great work man. I would also do a clean base shot with no lights at all with a long exposure just in case you need to edit out yourself in the image etc another option lighting wise is a very small softbox and put that over the Nanlite which can help direct the light better for detail shots like someone else mentioned for wheels, grill, badges etc

@SpencerHogg 2 года назад

Dude super cool lighting painting!!! Layers are so important, another awesome tutorial

@TheCarCreative 2 года назад

@EuroAutoEnthusiast 2 года назад

Discovering layers and how to incorporate adjustments in a Photoshop edit is a must as a photographer! There was a time I only used Lr 🤦🏽‍♂️ not now 🙂 Great tutorial Bro! Btw, my hat arrived yesterday…thanks! Stay tuned for sometime on that soon 👊🏽💯

@TheCarCreative 2 года назад

Totally agree! Gotta learn that Photoshop, even the basics will help immensely. So good man! I hope you like it as much as I do! =D

@ToniGain 2 года назад

Impressive!

@TheCarCreative 2 года назад

Thank you for stopping by!

@andrewelder2739 2 года назад

This is interesting, and a really cool effect, but it feels like running before walking! Have you done, or could you do one on more straightforward vehicle lighting? Would you recommend strobes or continuous? How would you set it up in a similar situation to this? Outdoors? Thanks as always for the awesome info!!

@keanuradford2404 2 года назад

Loved this video Alex! Another few tips would be to add another layer for the windshield and bonnet/hood with your CPL cutting those reflections out, and increase your shutter speed to get more details in the headlights - especially if they have DRL's!

@TheCarCreative 2 года назад

Ah heck yes! Thanks for the added tips! Great ideas. So would you do two passes with the key light later with the cpl turned on second pass?

@keanuradford2404 2 года назад

@@TheCarCreative yeah exactly! Use two layers with the key light. Makes it a little trickier to blend the layers but gets a really clean result!

@shawnabryant6656 Год назад

Photographed my first Drift event as media after watching your video. Thanks for talking about settings. It was very helpful!! I still need lots of practice but I got some shots I am pretty excited about and proud of for my first time. Would love your feedback but don't know how to attach a photo here. Newby to the world of youtube except for watching videos.

@TheCarCreative Год назад

That’s great to hear! Glad you are happy with some of the shots 🙌🏼 Instagram at this point is the best way to tag me in photos. Keep learning, keep shooting. Cheers!

@julienlopez7046 2 года назад

@@TheCarCreative oh yeah thanks you so much! I bought v1 pack maybe 5 days ago but i don't know if it's me but i find that preset change a lot colors (background + subject) of all pics And I can't recover the color of the motorcycle (I shoot motorcycles and defeat cars)...
