End of the Decennium and the start of a new one so I decided to do something fitting

An overview of the work I like best shot in the last few years.

Guys, Thanks for the compliments! And Happy New Year to you too!! I agree that the jpeg is a bit light, the tif looks just fine though. Here's the studio shot w/o the black background. Jim

And I had thought it was going to be such a good year... dreams dashed by Bill's '59(?) Pink Cadillac and now this wet dream in scarlet! (Something Ford GT-based?) Oh well, might as well keep the wreck I have.

;-(

P.S. Beautiful photography.

Rob, Glad you like it! The studio capture still has had some voodoo applied, wheel strips etc. But this car had a 20,000.00 paint job (it's a SEMA showcar) and lit like a dream. Jim

Sweet shot JIm, but I have a question.

I know the strip highlight is the vogue but do you really like it?

Craig

Craig, I do like the look but actually I think it's become a bit less desirable after four years or so of popularity. Have a look at my website and you'll see several examples of my use of them. The light source seen in the previous attachment is one of two 32ftx6" strips I had fabricated three years ago. I haven't seen anything quite like them in my travels. I use the keno flos in many applications, interiors, details and, as seen, exterior majors. Personally, I think they are best used in a way that defines the product but hopefully doesn't distract for the subject. Many times I'll place them so that they are hidden by a break in the sheetmetal and if the car's got a metallic paint it'll glow. Jim

I guess thats where I'm at with them, kind of tired of seeing that look.

Like so many subjects, just how many new ways are there to light something

Thanks
Craig

I also got a chance to see the back view of this muscle beast in the Robb Report Collection issue, and it looks perfect in print. I think the light gives off a nice liquid flow look, and works well with the mustang stance of muscle car vs something sleek and stealth.

Nice work!

Wonderful Jim.

I'll have to take a look at the Robb Report, I'm not sure that it's my shot. Frank, thanks for the compliment, I appreciate it. I certainly enjoy your work and the subject matter is spectacular! One thing about your recent posted slideshow is that I think it has too many images, sometimes less is more. I stopped about half way thru the images, anyways just my 2 cents. Jim

Very cool! Love the tones and the reflections on the windshield.

Jim,

Its got your signature all over it. 2010 Saleen S281 /page 14 bottom image of the Jan 2010 Collection booklet.

Except they didn't credit the image :-(
They are usually very good about that.

Also...
Great work JR, I think these were in the Rangefinder or some photo pub few months back...if I am not mistaken.

I think that over and above the photographic part, you are also very good at casting your shots - or is that credit due elsewhere? Whatever, it really works very well, even without any sort of sales pitch attached to it; damn good stock, I would have thought - do you bother doing that?

No.

I haven't had a stock contract in 6 years and under the current system would not entertain one.

Now given that there is a way to make stock very profitable and good for your career, but it would take me a week to write the response.

This wasn't stock.

Casting is through my partner/producer/styist, Ann Rutherford and me. We work about everything together, but she is great at casting.

Have been playing around with my 384 on a Linhof 679cc ( wich seems to be unsellable ) and the Betterlight on my P2. First two on 384 and 3+4 shot with the Betterlight 6000 SCSI back.

Very nice! Love the split-toning effect (assuming that's what you used).

Mike.

Client finally picked a select that I agreed with. Not digital, this is 4x5 Portra 160VC - a bit of an awkward room, but I like this one for some reason.
