The following tips are offered in hopes of giving you a creative kick and help you get out of a rut to not only make some great car photographs but have fun while doing it.

A few years ago Mary and I attended an outing with a group of photographers who were shooting in Bryce Canyon and other parts of Utah. After one day’s shoots one of the attendees asked, “why are you photographing trees?

I once received an e-mail from a Shutterbug reader asking “why do you do infrared photography, when regular photography is already so hard?” The short answer is because it’s fun. And yes, because it captures light that’s invisible to your eyes so it can be challenging but so can any genre in photography that you haven’t tried before.

Shooting images outdoors mean you’re going to have to be creative about where and when you shoot and you need to look for locations that will accommodate the client’s photographic needs. That’s why private locations for intimate portraiture are best.
