How I Shoot Car Events

How do you shoot car events when there are a million people around and you (usually!) don't have the option to reposition the cars to your liking? I'll show you what I do to get interesting photos of cars at events and gatherings.

I recently shot at Luftgekühlt 7 in Indianapolis, and Autopia 2099, which is sort of like Radwood, but for EVs (I helped organize this event). I’m not sure I got any calendar photo hero shots of any cars, but I think I was able to communicate the feeling of these events, and that's what I was aiming for.

Hopefully these simple tips will help you find new ways of looking at shows and car events, and see different photo opportunities that you might have been missing out on.
