Exclamation Local Photographer Needs Your Car.

Hey everyone. For the last few months I've been itching to get started building a portfolio of automotive photography. With the nice weather right around the corner, I think it's time.

If anyone with a modified, classic, domestic or import and CLEAN car in the NJ/NY/PA/DE region would like to have pictures, now's the time. I'm really looking to get this ball rolling and need your help to do it. If you help, you'll get:

A CD of all the pictures taken.

Prints up to 20x30 in size, at cost.

Access to your photos on my site, with linking capability if desired.

The only thing I ask is that you either come to me, or help with my travel expenses.

If you're interested, contact me on here, by email: chrisjpotter@comcast.net, or by phone: 609-744-9536.

Here are some shots I got last weekend and what you can expect to get.






Go here to see more.

Thanks, everyone!

Re: Local Photographer Needs Your Car.

Chris, check out Raceway Park this Saturday. There will be a lot of very nice 'vetts running that day in the Corvette Challange.

Chris, I'm very interested. And I don't think Medford is too far from me.

Here is my car.



Please let me know if you're interested.

Re: Local Photographer Needs Your Car.

Kazman: I might be in Boston this weekend, but if not, I'll surely head up to E-Town. Thanks for the heads up.

Ed & Slayer 6x6: Nice cars, guys. If you wanted to work out a time that we all could meet sometime soon, let me know. It would be neat to get some individual pictures and possibly some 2 car shots. Let me know what your typical schedule on the weekends looks like.

Chris.

Chris
If you eventually want to add bikes to your portfolio, I can help you. I have a Candy Orange Custom Chopper, built from scratch at home if you're interested in shooting it. I'm close to you, too (Williamstown) If you need it - shoot me a PM. I can email pictures if you'd like (I can't figure out how to post them here for you, sorry)

Thanks Chris

With the exception of this upcoming weekend, I'm pretty much available anytime. We can keep an eye out for a weekend with decent weather, and you can give me more details, ie: where to meet, time, etc.! Just need a little notice to get the SS "in shape".

I'm looking forward to meeting you and seeing your work.

Thanks Chris

Re: Local Photographer Needs Your Car.

I would like to get my new wheels on before I get any professional photos done. Is late April/May too late?

Re: Local Photographer Needs Your Car.

Im wondering how much your rate is? Also do you pick a place before coming to take the pictures or would I need to scope one out prior to your arrival

Re: Local Photographer Needs Your Car.

Everyone: My rate is travel expenses only, if I come to you. AND, the prints are at my cost (roughly $30 for a poster size print and $5 for an 8x10) and can be shipped directly to you within 7 days of the shoot. I will do the shoots free of charge until I get a few cars/bikes under my belt (roughly 4-5), then I'll decide on the pricing at that point (it won't be astronomical, and I assure you you'll be pleased with the results. I will offer basic framing of the prints as well once I get up and running. I've also purchased a plotter *machine that cuts vinyl* and will be doing store-fronts, signage and car/truck lettering graphics.)

As far as location goes---if you come to me, I have a few places we can go depending on the style of photo you're looking for. If I come to you, I'm sure we can locate something with a little scouting, if you're unsure of a location. Generally, the best time of day for this is either early morning, or approx 1-1.5 hours before sunset, to get good lighting and good reflective color and depth. Of course, I can work with whatever lighting is available, but those times are prefered.

AAWFF: I would love to shoot a chopper. If you would, I'd like to see pics. chrisjpotter@comcast.net I'll be in touch.

Ed:
Hopefully we can set something up soon, within the next two weeks or so. I'll be in touch early next week or so. Looking forward to meeting you.

Slayer6x6: Nah, just shoot me a PM or someting when you get the wheels on.

I'll be away for the next few days, but I'll touch base with everyone when I get back.

Thanks Again!
CHRIS

Not as awesome as yours, but I try.

We're about 30 miles north of you. Hell, us 3 could all chip in and pay your travel up to us. Check out my pics for locations, some are pretty decent. We have alot of parks around us, but they're no good for us in winter with no leaves. Some night time shots would be great, I'm still working on them myself.
