Growing up in my family, it was hard not to develop an appreciation for all things heavy metal…and I don’t mean the music! Even when I was five years old I was hopping out of a Chevy Camero when my Mom took me to school. In my teen years, when other girls had posters of the Backstreet Boys and 98° on their walls, the poster that hung over my bed was of a Ford Mustang GT.
Oh yeah, and my first car…it was an ’83 Ford F150 Short Box that I purchased sans engine. I know, right! What was I thinking? But when you have access to two pretty awesomely skilled mechanics (a.k.a. Dad and Brother), you don’t think of things like that being a road block. It’s more of an adventure! They turned my little guy into a lean, mean, rumbling machine. “He” became a part of the family.
Fast forward to today, and you understand my passion for photographing cars. But not in the way you’re used to…
In my new workshop, “The Vintage Way | Classic Car and Boat Photography,” you’ll learn how I infuse life into my photos and how I look for the details to enhance the story. I’ll go over the three different types of shooting situations and locations, as well as which in-camera settings work best. I’ll even share with you my composition techniques for storytelling.
There’s no expensive equipment needed for this style of shooting, and you may be surprised to find out that you already own the lenses needed. Psst, I use my kit lenses a LOT!
Here’s what you get:
- An 85-page online book covering everything from locations to composition. I shoot vintage boats much like I do cars, so you’ll find a section on boat photography, too!
- 3 bonus video tutorials covering the basics of editing in Camera RAW (white balance, exposure, clarity, etc.), creative editing using textures, and minimizing distracting color casts and making chrome look more realistic.
- Access to me (Misti), so ask me anything!
Next time your husband wants to take off to go see a car show, offer to go with him and make a date of it! You may need to pick him up off the floor first (the news of you being interested in cars may come as a shock to him), but you’ll have a blast capturing the beautiful details of those classic muscle cars as he visits with other car enthusiasts about custom chrome carburetors and special order struts!
This workshop isn’t for those looking to get into commercial car photography; it’s for the everyday photographer who might want to break out of the box and try something new. So, if you’re ready to capture cars and boats in a new light, come along with me as we explore photography in a new way…the Vintage Way!
“I must say I appreciate your work, it is first class! I have learned a lot of new things already and am super excited for all of those future workshops!”
