"Bad Ass Ride" Photography Tips

• Change your camera settings to the highest resolution and largest size possible if you want to print the photos or submit them for consideration in our marketing materials.
• We love action shots. You may have to change your camera settings if you are shooting a moving vehicle. Stopping in the middle of rough terrain can also result in a great photo without worrying about motion blur.
• If taking a photo of an off-road road vehicle, it will look more natural in an off-road setting than in your driveway.
• Avoid cutting off part of your vehicle unless you're after a special effect or closeup.
• Clean you vehicle for non-action shots.
• Clear the clutter to focus on your vehicle. Your vehicle won't look its best with distracting buildings, other vehicles, or garbage cans surrounding it.
• You may want to remove your license plate if it will show in the picture. You can also use photo editing software to remove it later.
• Shooting from a low perspective will really show off your lifted vehicle.
• As you’ll notice in our own photos, we like ¾ views for showing off both the front and side view of a vehicle.
• Make sure you don’t cut off the front or rear of the vehicle for full vehicle shots.
• Take your picture level with the horizon.
• Resaving JPEG files multiple times reduces their quality. So if you’re going to make any corrections in photo editing software, make the changes to the original file and then save once.
