Toyota Chaser, JZX100 - Part Two

It's been a while since I've actually gone out to light paint. Looking back on previous sets, I realized this is only my 3rd time light painting. I remember the very first time I went light painting, It was just me and two other friends running around with a work lamp looking like idiots. I'm sure from a far we looked like coked out ravers lost, running around with a giant glow stick.

Ever since then, I've learned a lot.

For this set, it was just one of those nights where there was nothing better to do than to shoot pictures. It's always good to flex that creative muscle once in a while.

Setup for this set was a Canon 5Dc, 50mm f/1.2, Vagabond battery, and an elinchrom strobe with the soft box attached.


Despite it being a full moon that day, the location we were shooting at was close to pitch black. Of course, shooting at night comes with it's own perks. Such as, security driving by every 10 minutes giving you funny looks and then police showing up asking what the hell you're doing at midnight running around with a battery and strobe.


Besides that though, it was smooth sailing.


If you've seen the previous post, then you already know that this Chaser used to look like a Camry. Believe it or not.. the time between then and now was only a matter of weeks. Within a week or so he already had CR-Kai's sitting in the shop waiting to be put on.


Next mod was coil overs. As it sits right now, it looks gorgeous and I personally wouldn't have it any other way.


 Possibly one of my favorite shots out of the whole set.


I love the body lines of the car and how it flows nicely to the rear. This shot feels a bit incomplete, but that's because we only had two shots to go off of.. otherwise, we would've been run over (literally).

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed the set. 6 shots may not seem like a lot, but I assure you... each one is a composition and NOT a single shot. If I could show you guys the process I would, but that's for another day.
Hopefully I can go out and light paint some more this summer.

Keep your eyes peeled for the next post.
