      Shooting Car Portraits

      Utilizing Motion Blur

      To shoot cars well, you have to be able to capture them in motion. This section is all about creating dynamic photographs of the Defender doing what it does best — blasting down trails and smashing puddles. Here, we’ll go what settings to use for capturing cars in motion, proper panning techniques to create motion blur, how to capture the story of the car in motion, and how to capture tracking shots.

      Capturing Cars in Motion

      Another way to achieve dynamic motion shots is to be moving with the car. In this section, Tom hops in the back of the Jimny to shoot the Defender cruising a beautiful private road in Iceland. We’ll go through which gear and settings work best, how to compose a dynamic shot, and how to best show the action.
