Dreamy Cars

A red sports car on a coastal road, the whole frame edited to feel deliberate.

Overview

Real cars in places that look like a video game. Most of it gets made in the edit. I wanted to shoot cars in a way that felt like a dream. Not documentary, not a car sitting in a parking lot. Closer to a video game, or a scene you imagined before you ever saw it. That means the car is only half of it. The place has to belong to the car so completely that it stops looking like somewhere a car is parked and starts looking like somewhere that exists for it. Light that is always right. Nothing sitting in the wrong spot. Unreal in the good way, without tipping into fake. Most of it happens after the shutter. Location and light give you something to work with, but the edit is where it stops being a photograph of a car and becomes a scene. Rare cars are easy to point a camera at. Making the whole frame feel deliberate is the hard part.
