Luxury Car Portrait with a Model

I am a mentor for students at Westlake High School for the Independent Study Program for those students who want to learn photography. This semester Krishan, one of my two mentees wanted to shoot a car portrait so I treated him to a Luxury Car Portrait with a Model. Fortunately, I have a buddy who has a spectacular home and a Bentley in the garage. Summer was the model, and Jeff Zavala of Z Creative Media shot this lovely video of the photo shoot. At about dusk, we first shot a set of bracketed images of the car only. Then we walked around the car spotlighting it so we could paint in those lit spots in Photoshop later in post. Then we brought Summer in and shot her with several different poses.
