p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · How to shoot a driver from inside a car?


A friend of mine was asked by a watch company to take some photos of him wearing his watch while shifting a car using a manual transmission. He asked me to take the photos for him. I will have to take these from the passenger or rear seat. My widest lens currently in my kit is a 35mm and I’m thinking that’s not going to cut it. I’d rather use a fast prime than a zoom. What focal length should I be looking at for something like this?

Can't the vehicle be stationary and you shoot from the open door of the passenger side? You could PS the window view with horizontal blur to show movement or maybe suction the body to the window and fire remotely.

^ that or remove the passenger seat and sit in the rear. Just frame the shot so as not to make it seen that the seat had been removed.

That would allow more freedom of focal length choice.

I would use a couple magic arms, set it up as a remote camera or tether from the back seat. Setting up as a remote will allow you to get those low angles. I would shoot it with a 75-90mm for some tight shots...and then would use something like Sony's 12-24 GM for the wider shots...use some constant lights to light it...will give you some better control over it...
