Hey Kevin or anyone else who may have some advice to offer. My boyfriend just bought a corvette to restore and I want to get some before and after pictures. Any advice on how to go about taking some good shots of the car?

get the camera down low (squat, or sit on the ground or a low chair) so you're not pointing the camera down at the car (that distorts the image). as much as you can, keep the barrel of the lens parallel with the ground.

try lots of different angles (from the front, from the back, from the sides, with the doors open, etc.).

don't use flash: shoot it in natural light, but not in direct sunlight; shoot it early in the day (first couple of hours of sunlight, whenever that is the day you're shooting) or late in the afternoon (last 2 hours of sunlight, whenever that is).

hope this helps.
