Looks like a lot of lighting was used. then photoshoped out? or alot of lighting was used, then photoshopped in the background with no lighting? or light painting?

Could be a composite.

I was studying the same shots. Easiest way is composite.

[Levitron]

I third the composite idea.

[BD2002]

Yea I was going to say HDR, so pretty much the same thing I think...

[Rikaro]

no, it's not HDR.

[BD2002]

Whats the difference between HDR and composite?

[J____]

it's a composite for sure.

HDR is high dynamic range, ie taking multiple DIFFERENT exposures of the same image and 'merging' them for the purpose of bringing out the details of light and dark areas otherwise missed in 1 shot.

composite is just taking desired sections of multiple photos and putting them into one. Ie if you have 1 flash, you first flash left side of car in 1 shot, then right side of car in another shot and when you merge the 2 sides, it seems like the whole car's lit. However this technique doesnt utilize the multiple different exposures for the purpose of merging details of the light and dark.

You've probably got HDR and composite confused as both techniques uses merging of different layers. However, it's a totally different technique and yields very different results.

So with a composite it's more of a manually stitching the images together?

If I'm wrong I'll go look it up somewhere else. Lol

The shots aren't that hard to be done. The car is matte finish as well which makes it 10x easier. It's like shooting Adon's car haha

Whats the difference between HDR and composite?

HDR is taking multiple shots of the same scene. A composite is merging a number of different shots and objects into one image. For instance, I'm sure this is a composite because the car is lit with lights, but there is no room in the garage for the lights that lit the car. It looks like the car was shot in a studio, and then put into the garage image.

I don't like that the way that's shot. It doesn't look real at all. Just my opinion.
