Henry Hirise

Originally built in the late 70's and featured on the cover of the very first issue of Street Machine magazine.

This car is an icon in UK street rodding circles, it was probably the first Uk Gasser of its day.

Its now been restored to better than its former glory...

More then anything the photos of some of the older cars bring back memories. Think that even more then songs, seeing an old car you drove brings back many memories.

Brought in my GF's Brother's freshly painted 89 mustang into the studio to shoot some pictures for him and to practice lighting cars and use it as a good excuse to use the hasselblad

Shooting cars is NOT as easy as it looks! this shot literally took about 4 or 5 hours. You have to wash the car, wipe it off, pull out the hot lights and set those up, and than position them depending on the material.

Breakdown of the lighting:

The headlights, hood, tires, windshield, sides of the bumper, and front end were all shot with different exposures with the lights in different spots.

The bright highlight where you can see mustang and the streak below it, we used a flourecent tube below in front of a white card, the tires were lit with little inkeys, the hood and windshield were lit by a huge white panel that's about 100' by 50' which are set up to an electric pulley system, we just bounced and focused the fernels on it, white cards on the sides for the bright highlights on the sides of the bumpers and we flicked the running lights on to get those in too.

comp it all together in post, run a clipping path to get all the grip out of the picture and drop it into a fake background.

whew! no doubt want to try other cars too, something newer.
