Personal Project: Chrysler 300 Car Meet in Branson, MO
The pursuit of personal photography work runs huge in my book, especially in long-term projects. I’m nearing completion of a 4-year project to photograph every single Chrysler Letter car and no am supplementing the project by focusing on the relationships behind the restoration of these beautiful brutes. Extending lighting techniques beyond the fashion or portrait photography world is possible with the right tools, time, and inspiration. Interaction with clients inspires me as I attempt to interpret their stories, interests, and personalities in the final image. I attended the Chrysler 300 Fall 2009 Car Meet last week in Branson, Missouri. Here are a few of my favorites:
