I’ve been shooting cars for the last 5 years or so. There’s so many brands I still want to shoot. What’s dream car brand to shoot? What about the dream car?
I want to shoot Honda, ironically. But I like how Honda has grown and changed over the years and gotten better.... but I also want to shoot BMW.
Chris Hau uuu I’ve been waiting for a new car video from You! I’ve recently started trying it myself, not as easy as it looks! I’d love to shoot Porsche cars, I love the lines, or Lamborghini. I’m shooting my Skoda right now, so a little bit off my goals but testing out your suggestions in your other films. Dream car to shoot, probably 911 turbo from the 90’s. Great film, thank You!
I would love to shoot mercedes or any car with great lines!
My dream car is a bmw i8 or the new tesla cybertruck!
I love shooting for audi and lexus but ive always wanted to shoot for benz!
I had the opportunity to shoot at a Mercedes Benz dealership recently. That was super fun. My dream client is Audi. I can't wait to work with them.
How to shoot car photos like a pro?
1) have friends with expensive cars
I guess that's one way. BUT not entirely ;)
@@thechrishau you are right, not entirely, but for real it is a great way, and it isn't hard to make those friends, lots of them are really friendly people, especially if you happen to meet them when they are in their zone!
Bro! Car shows and car meets!
(I know I’m late to this 😅😂)
Who said they have to be expensive?
dont need an expensive car, i shoot my 03 forester and can still get great shots
About 12 years ago had police detectives called on me once and questioned for photographing multiple cars at the same location on an industrial estate. Apparently some karen complained suspecting I was dealing with stolen cars coz she'd seen me more than once with these fancy looking cars. When I showed the detectives the client's website, they just laughed the whole thing off and were fascinated by the car photography world.
8:04 so basically you can close the car doors with a polarizer
Lol its supposed to reduce that harshe glare on the shiny car's surfaces, but nice catch ;)
I was looking for this comment 😂👍🏻
Khalil Kafieh Does that work in night shots or only in daytime
@@D0wNhiLL not sure tbh, i wouldn't think so because the reason the sun reflections are reduced is because they all bounce from a single direction.
to get minimize light refraction in the glass, chrome or paint
How to shoot luxury cars:
1. Just call up Medcedes and ask them
Me: oh ok, easy enough.
Is that a medical company?
@@freshpresseu Mercedes is a car manufacturer
@@eyzhuh_studios I own a W205 C Class I know... I was joking coz of your spelling dude 🤣
I got what I needed. great video man
Hey check my Channel for more car Photography 🙌
Wow, that shutter speed vs. car speed tip was mind blowing! Good to know.
That one is super powerful.
@@thechrishau is that in miles or kilometers?
@@jessieN1223 pretty sure it's just a generic guideline, try both , pick the best lookin one
Jessie Nacar you can use it as well for miles as for kilometer, it has the same effect
Yo but what about if i am shooting a car in motion but i am still
It hasn't even been a month since Halloween yet...
I was liiiiiiiiike
No wonder the building matched the GTC.
It´s the Mercedes Benz Museum. :D
I love the tips and advice you provide but more than anything, I love your impersonations and witty humour. They have me cracking up the whole time and they genuinely make watching consecutive 10-15minute+ videos so enjoyable whilst still learning!
I have an idea for your next series Chris - "Hau to..?" where in each episode you chose a topic to tell your subscribers how to do something.
Dope video Chris, filled with great tips! Don’t sleep 📸
haha. Sleep a little bit.
Captain Obvious at 11:50 😄
I've been contemplating learning how to do photography, but more specifically, car photography because of my love for cars. This is the first TH-cam video I've watched on it and I must say I found it super informative and entertaining. Got me psyched to go out and start practicing!
Thanks man!🙌🏾
when Chris said "hey Jonathan" I immediately was like "ahh I'm in the video!! also when did I get this sweet ass lambo?" lol
As a detailer, my pro tip would be if a vehicle has already been clean and you are going to a shoot location, carry a bucket with a gamma seal lid full of water and rinseless wash mixture. Then you can safely wash the car on the fly. If the car is not covered in dirt, you can also go for the waterless wash method (NOT QUICK DETAILER).
Great video Chris! You had me at car but swept me with “24-70 lens” 😍
Not gonna lie, I don't usually subscribe until I've watched a few videos from someone. But your personality and goofyness sold me lol. Subscribed.
Mate I’ve been wanting to up my car photography and this video has been soooooo helpful
This is sooo helpful. Thank you, Chris! Great pro tip about matching the shutter speed with the car.
Thanks for watching! Glad you saw some value in it :)
@@thechrishau All of them were so value! Most of your videos goes to my "tutorials" list
I love cars so this is write up my alley. Love the role playing... You have a wire range of customers from southern to Swedish. Love the fun to the video it brings.
Dude, that tip about finding car owners selling their luxury vehicles is dope!
Also: check your pockets, clothes, etc and secure loose hanging things. It's super easy to create scratches with things you never expect to- take NO chances.
You are a Rock ! It’s really awesome
Hot drone intro dude!
Great video @Chris Hau ! Very interesting tips n tricks!keep ot up mate!👌👏😁
Great freaking content!!
Happy new year
Great advice
Good tips as always !
Great job. Appreciate the content 👌
Don’t have time to watch this video rn but I’m dropping in to say this thumbnail was sick and I can’t wait to watch later!
Love this tutorial! Way to make it straight to the point. Other then some influencers where ya gotta wait till the last minute for them to get their point across...after watching them for 5mins pitching other bull#%*!🙄🤦🏻♂️😂
Anyways..thanks! I’m a yacht/real estate photographer in south Florida and this definitely opened my eyes to new ideas and shooting the small details in a shallower depth of field. When most of the time we get programmed to shoot open spaces..we lose perspective of the details sometimes. You made it apparent again that those things matter just as much. So..thank you!
Always a great influence!
Great and informative !
Dope Video! Noah is the best! Glad seeing two Pros working together!!!
Noah is the best!
@@thechrishau Been working with him for quite some time now and learned so much about photography 😊✌
BRO, these are INSANE
Impressive trip and photography! Congratulate for your ahead.
Nice thanks Chris! I did that also, in Motorsport Racing. But those are clever ideas.
Great, thanks!
I appreciate this Video alot Chris! One question do you stick to the 24-70mm for the interior shots as well? I have been shooting cars for a while but usually with basic lenses or prime lenses.
Noah, you have a great English, no need to worry. Definitely not a native but it's clear, you can convey the message so perfect!
He's not a native? Damn could have fooled me.
14:35 man's trying to give us Corona
Now I know how to photograph my cars, thanks this is a very good video.
The wide angle lens is a real one, it's one of the first thing we tell the photographers when briefing.
Great tips!
Your impressions kill me 😂
I hadn’t heard the shutter speed match to speed thing. Good tip!
Hope someone passes me stuff through the screen.
Love the video!!!!
DON'T STOPPPPP
Hahaha😂😂😂! You had me cracking up throughout the whole video and I was entertained and I LEARNED many important things about photography planning. Now that I think about it, I could turn that into a career 🤔🙄😳😌😉 Luxury Car Setting Planner! Yay. About to make the big bucks!! Thanks man!
i like your style to make videos!!
Its like you saw my last IG post? This is the video I Needed but didn't know I needed it!
I love how you point out things so others can't try to roast you by pointing it out like the 11:55* correction haha. Keep up the humor! Great information!
Haha thanks! I try to stay on top of it !
Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our channel is about traveling fulltime in a RV, but do photography and videography for income! Love the tips!!!!!!!! Keep ‘em coming!!!!!
Noah your English is amazing idk what you're talking about!
Hey this helped a lot nd the video is fun
K Mani thanks for watching!
Damn your car portfolio is growing!
Nice shots at VIMC! They turned out really nice
Great video man! No link for any agencies for opportunities though?
This video Kicks a$$$$!
Your thumbnails everytime are so sassy!! 😍
AfroLamba sassy? Haha alright. Let’s go
Chris Hau 😎 🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️
Larry Chen is also someone everyone should check into, along with Aaron as mentioned in this video.
I do security in a pretty photogenic part of my city. Had a group of kids come down with their cars, a Dodge Charger and a Pontiac G8, nothing too crazy but they had em dressed up real nice. They saw me and started getting back in their cars, so I asked em how loud they get. Kids were confused at first, but one of em ended up redlining that Charger HARD. Just so happened to have my DSLR in my car at the time and offered to take a few photos for em. Now I'm known as the cool rent-a-cop 😂
Cool!✌️
My mans just told me his english wasn't gonna be good and then proceeded to spit damn near perfect english
I got chills about from your story washing a supercar - I hope you did not scratch the surface too bad.
thanks!!!
Great video. Thank you for the beer. Could you make a video how to shoot video of in car. Like reviews of a car?
I'm planning to shoot a blue S2k with a giant bodykit and stuff but this video still help
Great video, Chris! Noah definitely killed it with his shots and his tutorial and his English! I only got one question. You were mentioning match the 40 mph with a 1/40 shutter speed. When you're talking about the car, are you talking about the car you're in or the one you're shooting?
Thanks for the great videos, man. Always killing it
When shooting rollers the car your in should be the same speed as the car your shooting. He isn't shooting these rollers from the side of the road. I hope that helps.
@@AdamHaysPhotography I see. Yeah, now that I think about it, that's probably the only logical way to get it done. Thanks, man! I appreciate you taking the time to write out your comment!
@@howlandwu6050 Your welcome Howland. Good luck on your photography and remember, have fun. :)
Hey Chris, just saw your video - great work! But where did you made the photo at 8:31? I'd like to go there to take some shots of my Mitsubishi Evo
When you wash a car, add a water softener like Calgon. It will prevent spotting and streaking
Dope.
Omg that’s so funny!!! Great video Chris!! I’ve been wanting to get into auto photography and this really was informative!!
thanks for the beer
Notif squad ❤️🙌🙏
Give me a heart Chris 😅
ashwin mathew I’m into it!
Hahaha 🍻 thanks for the beer. ✌️
Tom Solymosi no problem! Cheers!
Griot's Garage Speed Shine/Best of Show Detailer + Ultra-Plush PFM towels. I take those with me on every car shoot.
Looking at your video because I want to take shots of my new Yaris Hybrid with my camera. Think your tips will help so thanks!
Love it! I shoot cars all day and these are great tips. Well maybe not all day... I sell them too so I take this advice too heart. Tech question - my DSLR (Canon T7i) is endlessly overexposing shots that don’t look overexposed when I am shooting them. Tips?
Hey man! What were some of the agencies you had in mind? Thanks!
Can you make video on Cybertruck Photography?
I’ve been trying to film and make car videos and I never realized how freaking hard it is
What I've learned shooting cars in the past. Always carry 3 brands of quick detailer as some brand react with some wax. also lots of microfiber in your bag.
I love my Canon 24-105 f/4 for car photography.
Can you do a video on your set up for when you do shoot photos of moving/rolling shots
The location for Tip 4 was the Mercedes-Benz Museum, Stuttgart, an architectural master piece and very suited as background for a luxury Mercedes. :-). Tanks for the video!
In-depth vid pleeease‼️
Hau did you do that!
Shooted a Ferrari California with these tips Resaults turned out great
📸🎬🎥
It would be appreciated if you could do a more in depth series on this please?
As good as the 24-70 is, I prefer using the 70-200, good range!
I really just got Chris's ad before his own vid
I'm underage! why are you giving me a beer? :P
A “Hau tutorial” + accents = 👌🏾
Glad I figured out the recipe haha
"This beer is so warm! Oh no (falls over)"
Clasic.
Awesome video. But one question about the shutter at rollers: European photographers would tell you to go same speed as shutter as well. But thats in kph, so there is a factor of x1.61 . So what is better now to nail the shot, matching kph or mph?
Do you have any tips on groups of cars.. Like 4 or more cars at once to take pics of?
no warm beer... but thanks for the nice video ;-)
Have you ever tried using the Laowa 15mm f/2 for car shoots? It has very minimal distortion.
