Corvette Photo Manipulation

This project was for Kelly Mulner of Mulner Photography. Kelly was approached to photograph a classic Corvette for a magazine. He needed to shoot the car on location and didn't have access to the full set of studio lights he would normally use to get that perfect shot. That's why Kelly approached me to help him create that killer image.

What Kelly did to compensate for not having that perfect studio lighting was to fix the camera on a tripod. Then he moved a single spotlight around the car and shot multiple images of the car with lighting from multiple angles. Here are a few of those base images I had to work with.

Then it was my job to assemble over 20 of those images, taking the best lighting and highlights to create one final image. I have made a flash presentation you can view to step through some of the stages it took to create that final image.
