Matt's the fckin man, he did my shoot a while back and I already booking him to do another one after I install all the new shit I bought for my car.

Yeah it was a replica of your car, literally. Had idential wheels, everything looked almost the same.

and regarding supra, it arrived not that long ago, needs a new front bumper as the current one is ugly.. also just needs a single.

dammit, I work so fckin hard to be original and I take pride in it..... but yea oh well with my new setup there ain't gonna be nobody copying me, unless they're spending 10 g's on their wheels and tires..

sick Supra man, I assume you'll be doing a photoshoot soon when it gets the bumper on right ? go start up a members journal ASAP buddy!

I'm not trying to be an ass but is he an actual good photographer or is he just really good at editing pics in photoshop?

I wouldnt mind seeing what that picture looked like before any editing was done/..

To answer to this is YES!

I have to say that the photoshoot was planned to have massive post processing even before we attempted in shooting it. I'm aiming towards magazines and adverting material here and i dare to say that post processing and editing is just as important in being a successful photographer especially when it comes to commercial photography.

Am I a good photographer or am I just covering everything up with Photoshop? That's for you to decide and I really don't care what people thinks. My photos appeal to a certain group of people and all others can hate it and that's fine with me as well.

I get what you're saying, 99% of stuff out there is postprocessed glory, otherwise any kid with a high-res sensor can scale shit down, and it looks beautiful.

i think the green glow's there to emphasize the green accent on the car. Like in the bumpers and the roll bar.

Nothing in print is ever untouched by Photoshop (or any other post-processing process).

Even the simple act of developing a photograph from film will be considered post-processing.

I guess it adds a bit of flare to the image, the photographer made it look like it was coming out of the ventilation ducts in the ceiling

Matt takes some really great shots and you can tell by his lighting (especially on a black car). I'm just not feeling the green, IMO it takes away from the image.

without green, way better!
