My MINI Photos

I'm normally a professional wedding photographer, but I love photographing cars, so when I got the mini I of course had to take it for a photo shoot. I did just a quick couple of shots in stock form, Here are a few of those:






Stock form however only lasted a few short weeks and then it was time for some Window Tint and New Wheels, which gave the car a much meanier look. Here are some shots from it's second shoot.







Please let me know what you think of the car and the photos. Thanks!

Hmm 81 views and not a comment, that's kind of scary, must be some crappy photos.

I like #4 & #5 best. Contrast between shiny car and rough architecture is cool. How about some with some sun?

Very nice, we are overwhelmed. I like the alley shots, perhaps you could photoshop out the trash bins.

Nice wheels, they do accent the black nicely. #5 and #6 are my favorites.

We all dig the sig! Very nice.

#4 gets my vote. Nothing to distract from the main thing, the Mini.
I agree with cropping out the trash bins.

#1 & 2 had a bit too much space.

The one underground is a very moving, an almost trapped, looking image.

I love being able to expand each shot.

Can I have some more please

What wheels are those? Wheel gap is just fine. What I don't like is the cars that you can't even see under because they are lowered so much.

Lots of people love to lower their cars so they don't have that unsightly gap. I love to see those same people deal with the obstacles of everyday driving. Sometimes it's pretty funny hearing a car scrape over a speed bump or drag a dead woodchuck down the road.

Me I like ground clearance & tires with sidewalls.

Edit...... Nice pictures of a very nice MINI.

Sorry for the late reply they are HPR Evo wheels in 17x7 40mm. They have been great wheels so far. One of these days Ill get out again and take some more pictures maybe while its in a different city for some different backgrounds.

I really like the wheels! Sorry for the slow start to the replies, but sometimes, we're preoccupied with other stuff (like motoring). Welcome to NAM! Enjoy the experience!

Well we had a nice long drive from Iowa to Virginia. Didnt take any pictures of the MINI on the way out, it was raining the whole way there. Did snap one on the way back stopping at the South Side Soda Shop in Goshen, IN. The SSS had some amazing food, I wish I lived closer so I could go there again.

Anyways heres a snap shot!



This photo was taken shortly after Walt suffered a blow to the windshield that left us with a nice little crack causing the whole windshield to need replacing.. Sad...
