Sending high quality photographs is very important to ensure maximum exposure of your automobile. Here are a few things that should aid you in the process:
Quick Tips:
1. Please clean your automobile. Please polish tires, and any other black molding, free car of all water spots and dust, vacuum the interior, and polish the engine. These are all areas that will need to be photographed.
2. Find a closed road or a concrete/dirt area. Cars look great in front of a grassy lawn, but not on top of one. Keep them in their element.
3. Background should be clear of garbage cans, other cars (if possible), weeds, and other items that can interfere with the shot.
4. Put the sun behind you (the photographer), this will get the best lighting for both the car and the camera. Shooting into the sun will result in dark images.
5. Shoot off center, we generally prefer the front
