Default My z's last photo shoot

I had a friend of mine do a last photoshoot of my car since I just sold it this week and am waiting for the transport to come pick it up. Sucked that it started to rain halfway through it but some neat shots came out of it. Let me know what you guys think and if you want you can buy shots from him at www.ivanlockert.com and support his photography.. I personally will have some posters of the car hanging on the wall here soon and the quality of the pictures you get are awesome.. Anywho on to the pics

Thanks for the compliments.. The photography was all my friend though and a gift he has for sure.. He takes great pics and he was actually unhappy with these pictures and wants to do another before the car goes away.

Great scene to host the pics!

I've seen other pics of C5 Z06s where the scene is pretty, clean, and new, but the C5Z just belongs in a raunchy, dirty, raw, overcast environment.

No its not minitubbed. They do stick out a little bit I but I think it makes it look more aggressive. Heres a pic that kind of shows how far both the front and rear stick out.

Not sure yet, I am looking at a lot of different cars right now. Granted another z06 is at the top of the list I am also looking at vipers, supras, ls1/6 swapped rx7's, etc etc.. Just browsing for the time being though

I wonder why?

Back to the photos, nice job of making lemonade out of a rain storm. Numbers 1 and 6 are my favorites. Number 3 looks a bit washed out, the blacks aren't really deep. I think he might have hit the car too hard with the strobes (at least it looks like he was using external lights of some sort). Black cars and flashes can be very tricky to pull off.

The fact that he wants to do these over again shows his standards are high and that he probably has a good idea of the look he wants, what he's trying to achieve.
