This kind of portraiture is about admiration and observation from all angles around a car, boat, motorcycle, submarine, aircraft and some other apparatus. Sentiments aside, having your special vehicle photographed is a healthy practice recommended by insurance companies the world over. It makes sense.
Motorcycles
If you ever wanted to see a poster of you riding your bike, have me on speed dial. Vehicle Portraiture has found its match thanks to the versatility of new materials and printing techniques that allow for riveting quality and affordable prices. I can print your pictures to a size and quality that I am sure will wow you without the big price tag.
Aircraft
You can call me an aircraft photography advocate and get away with it, as I spend quality time time watching the lines of any fuselage. Still don’t know where an aircraft does look best, whether in the air or on the ground. I personally recommend to have your aircraft photographed with you and without, on the ground and in the air, where you spend those great moments with her. If an aircraft is your joy and pride, a photo shoot will be in order and if selling is the case, a photo shoot comes in proper as well.
Vessels
I am all for sailing boats, lots of wood and a well appointed set of flags. Winds are always in the mood so we better wear lots of sun block. Have you got a portrait of your sailing or speed boat yet? Well, this is the right time to do so and if a chase-copter is needed for the shoot, I will get one that rises to the occasion.
Special Cars
Special cars can be whether your first car on your high school prom, the one you have pampered for many years or the one you have waited many years before actually getting a hold of its keys. Also, Composite Cards for special cars are a great way to ease their selling, using the power of commercial photography; they look awesome as they are treated like a model during the photo shoot. Really wish I have had the chance to do a photo shoot with Steve McQueen and his favorite toys, but will have to settle with Jay Leno's fleet if I ever get to catch him available for the shoot. Jay Leno once endorsed an "Idiots Guide" for vintage cars and was quoted on the book cover like this:
"The official Idiot's Guide to Vintage Cars"
“Both as a Car enthusiast and as an Idiot, I recommend this book if you are serious about vintage cars!". Guy is genius.
