  • My name is Thomas Boudewijn, I'm a Car Photographer from the Netherlands under the name "Fotovanjeauto". I took this shot at a Classic Car Dealer (Carrosso Classic- & Sportscars) This Mercedes-Benz 250 SE has the most beautiful curves and contrasting shiny parts. Because of the lights on the seeling and the reflection from the other cars and windows around it I decided to shoot this car using the FDL Technique (Focused diffused lighting) to show the curves in the design. It is build from a multiple exposure shot (10-15 shots) combined in Photoshop. Because of the fast shutterspeed and flash the background is automatically black and the light spreads softly. This way you can shoot anywhere, anytime, even in bright daylight. Camera: Nikon D850, Godox V1 Speedlight.

  • I lovely piece of work on this shot. The angle and the lighting are good, I think from a personal view that it might be nice to reduce the brightness of the floor slightly so not to distract from the drama of the shot but overall very well done

  • Beautiful detail piece of work. Brilliant lighting control and well thought out. The lack of loosing colour is well managed from the lighting and the post edit work is spot on.

  • A very different style of shot here in this one but its a credit to the photographer and the retouch has had a lot of hard work i think. Nice balance and a very good dramatic piece of work. Very well done

  • From a lighting point of view this is very well done. It is car detail and it is very effective is its overall feel with the reflection of the light in the bonnet being something that really makers it for me personally.
