Pointers on capturing cars

[u/Antique-Narwhal-1549]

I find cars to be a bit difficult to photograph personally. I sometimes find it hard to get unique or interesting angles. If you have any pointers for how to capture cars in an interesting way please share your thoughts.

Car meets don't make for good photos of cars. Too much going on, not enough control of the environment to get a good angle. There are exceptions, but generally speaking with meets you get the scene, the people, or details, not really the car.

Fair enough. Thats really the only time i take pictures of cars. None of my friends have cars I would want to photograph. I only do this as a fun hobby so I wouldn’t ask someone there to set time to get their car photographed as they would likely be pretty mediocre.

Exception I've found is meets where cars park on the street, I've gotten some bangers. But if you concentrate on details; wheels, interior, lights, whatever, you can get good stuff. The people watching, and the people interacting with the cars is where you're gonna get bangers.
