Noah, Becky, and I had the opportunity to photograph car #21 that’s racing in the KONI Challenge on SPEED TV – Road Race Technologies‘ 2009 BMW 328. Visit RRT Racing to learn more about the team and the exciting season ahead.
This was one of the most fun shoots I’ve done. The racing team gave us creative space and were very enthusiastic about the results. Noah did an excellent job keeping our lighting on point, and my new intern Becky did a great job keeping things running smooth.
A HUGE thanks to my point of contact, Adam Roy, drivers Barry Battle & Michael Dayton, and the entire RRT race team for their help and support during this shoot.
Best of luck this season guys!!

- Noah captured this set up shot. We had 4 speedlites going – one in front of me had a snoot, the far one to the left to splash some light on the front of the car, one to the far right to light the side of the car, and Becky was hiding on the other side of the car aiming the 4th light at the wall to make it less dull.

- The result!
I loved the low sunset light that hit the wall on the front of their office while our speedlites do the rest.
We underexposed the garage area so our lights can focus on exactly what we wanted lit.
Nothing like a splash of gel light to bring out the car's interior. We also had an Alien Bee 800 light firing from the right that blended in with the garage. The AB light's purpose was to light up the RRT cart behind the BMW.
An overhead shot - you wouldn't know it but there were people working on other BMWs around the garage.
(ohh yeah and the little bee does a great job too).
