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?
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!
@@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!
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.
She probably complained that she seen you hauling out large body sized bags and putting them in your trunk that was filled with your lighting equipment too
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).
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!🙌🏾
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 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 😂
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.
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!
Hey man, you should change the aspect ratio of future videos to 2:1. So when uploaded, people on newer phones can see the video full screen and not have half your head cut off. Just something you should think about 🤷🏼♂️. Great video though. Learned a lot. Thanks 😊
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!
Hi Chris, thx dir the Video. Good Tipps and nice car. Can you Tell ne the Location near the Mountains? I‘m in 2 weeks in munich to shoot a Audi rs6 and the location looks insane. Thx
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!
12:27 Does this pro tip work with metric as well? Car is going 40KM/hour, so is shutter still 1/40? Or do i need to do an imperial to metric conversion?
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.
A macro lens to shoot the logo and brakes? I mean I understand the size of the image in the sensor but macro lens are mostly for macro photography, like 2cm from the lens close...
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!
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.

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

Thats crazy 💀😭
She probably complained that she seen you hauling out large body sized bags and putting them in your trunk that was filled with your lighting equipment too
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 🤣
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
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
I got what I needed. great video man
Hey check my Channel for more car Photography 🙌
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 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.
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).
Dude, that tip about finding car owners selling their luxury vehicles is dope!
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.
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!

Dope video Chris, filled with great tips! Don’t sleep 📸
haha. Sleep a little bit.

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.
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
Noah your English is amazing idk what you're talking about!
Captain Obvious at 11:50 😄
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.
7:00 that car suited that location…..ITS THE MERCEDES BENZ MUSEUM…ofc it fits a Mercedes xD
Great video Chris! You had me at car but swept me with “24-70 lens” 😍
I hadn’t heard the shutter speed match to speed thing. Good tip!
Can you make video on Cybertruck Photography?
I’m really wanting to start taking photos and videos of my car, starter camera that won’t break the bank ?
The wide angle lens is a real one, it's one of the first thing we tell the photographers when briefing.
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 😊✌
I'm underage! why are you giving me a beer? :P
I just bought a Tesla Model 3 and wanted to take some cool pictures, this was super helpful!
12:25 how do you do that flare effect in the headlight?
Sebastián Depending on the angle you shoot the headlights will have that flare. Usually happened with LED’s which are on newer cars
I'm very late, but that flare seems very strongly to be coming from the sun
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
Hot drone intro dude!
I'm planning to shoot a blue S2k with a giant bodykit and stuff but this video still help
A “Hau tutorial” + accents = 👌🏾
Glad I figured out the recipe haha
You are a Rock ! It’s really awesome
i have nikon d5300 and 18-55mm camera is it good for photoshooting
Great video man! No link for any agencies for opportunities though?
Impressive trip and photography! Congratulate for your ahead.
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!
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!
Great advice
I really just got Chris's ad before his own vid
I really want to know what filter is use or settings to get that color
editing in lightroom
Happy new year
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!
When you deliver the images to your clients, what format do you usually deliver them in? TIFF/JPEG/other?
Now I know how to photograph my cars, thanks this is a very good video.
Your thumbnails everytime are so sassy!! 😍
AfroLamba sassy? Haha alright. Let’s go
Chris Hau 😎 🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️
Hey man! What were some of the agencies you had in mind? Thanks!
Hey man, you should change the aspect ratio of future videos to 2:1. So when uploaded, people on newer phones can see the video full screen and not have half your head cut off. Just something you should think about 🤷🏼♂️. Great video though. Learned a lot. Thanks 😊
TH-cam is not only a phone app
Can you do this for we smartphone snappers?
I'm starting a detailing business and it will come in handy
Thanks
hi may I know if youre the one thats getting those things you offer(candies, beers)?
Hau did you do that!
Mate I’ve been wanting to up my car photography and this video has been soooooo helpful
What’s the settings on your camera???
Do you ever edit out or take off license plates?
Depends on the project!
Is it the same in km/h as in mph for that shutter speed rule?
Great, thanks!
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?

Hi Chris, thx dir the Video. Good Tipps and nice car. Can you Tell ne the Location near the Mountains? I‘m in 2 weeks in munich to shoot a Audi rs6 and the location looks insane. Thx
BRO, these are INSANE
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 got chills about from your story washing a supercar - I hope you did not scratch the surface too bad.
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.

Start from 7:30
Thank you, everything but the thing about shooting with a seller in Craigslist is useless.
What’s the best lense for car photography ???
12:27 Does this pro tip work with metric as well? Car is going 40KM/hour, so is shutter still 1/40? Or do i need to do an imperial to metric conversion?
Personally I cut the speed of the car in half and it works well
@@cameroncarrick5604 awesome thank you! So 20KM/hour would be a 1/40 shutter speed. Did I understand you correct?
Sukh Jhangri other way around, if the car is 40km/h shutter speed is 1/20
@@cameroncarrick5604 Thank you!
I have a question. Lets say you do 100mph, do you still put it 1 over 100? Or like you do 150mph, is it going to be 1 over 150?
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
As good as the 24-70 is, I prefer using the 70-200, good range!
i like your style to make videos!!
You think a cannon t7i would work good for car photography
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.
Hey this helped a lot nd the video is fun
K Mani thanks for watching!
Fun fact: there's no content on shooting cars in this video
whats the best metering mode for car photography?
Great video @Chris Hau ! Very interesting tips n tricks!keep ot up mate!👌👏😁
Shooted a Ferrari California with these tips Resaults turned out great
Far out - the polarizer opens the door of the car?
14:35 man's trying to give us Corona
But the nice soft light inside? How to achieve this situation? Cloudy days?
can 18-55mm work aswell??
Hey Chris what’s the agency’s website !!
a ask, if KM/H, lets we say, car moving in 60km/H so shutterspeed should be 1/60?
It'd be 1/40 since 40mph is about 60kmh
Its like you saw my last IG post? This is the video I Needed but didn't know I needed it!
A macro lens to shoot the logo and brakes? I mean I understand the size of the image in the sensor but macro lens are mostly for macro photography, like 2cm from the lens close...
8:34 had me rolling lolol
whats a good lens?
📸🎬🎥
Do you have any tips on groups of cars.. Like 4 or more cars at once to take pics of?
is a 24-105 a reasonable lens?? i mean i shoot fuji so its a 16-80 f/4
Great job. Appreciate the content 👌
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!
Cool!✌️
Is that a lav mic under your shirt or are you just happy to see me?
Larry Chen is also someone everyone should check into, along with Aaron as mentioned in this video.
Great freaking content!!
