Unique
To an untrained eye a photo is a photo. To an automotive photographer each image is unique in it’s form and format. With car photography every click of the shutter offers the opportunity to perfectly capture a vehicles purpose and personality. It is far more than simply pointing a camera at a car and hoping for a great shot.
