Hi everyone!
I'm a photography student at Art Center College in Pasadena, CA. I shoot cars. Check out my work on my site:

http://www.jeffludes.com

I'm looking for a voulenteer to help me with a shot. I need you and your new MINI for an afternoon. In return, you'll get some large 11x14 prints of your car. This is a nice arrangement that I have used to get all the cars on my site, and has worked out well.

The shoot will be in the Los Angeles area, although I'm not sure exactly where or when yet.

I'm planning on re-doing the shoot of the Civic on my site - the one where the car disappears. I think a MINI would look great like this! To do this, I'll need to remove one wheel from your car (the one wheel is shot four times, and digitally composited).

If you're interested, please email me at jeffludes@hotmail.com rather than replying here.

Thanks!
Jeff

 

I clicked the link to your site, but am getting nothing. Tried entering it into 2 search engines, but recieved the same results.
As an aspiring artist myself, it sounds like a great opportunity for someone out there. I'm into creating realistic wildlife artwork, but dabble a bit on the side with photography..........mainly wildlife, cars, girls, girls with cars.....all decent of course.
I'd be willing to offer up my MINI as a subject while on set, but firstly I don't have her yet, and second, I'm across the border in B.C.
Good luck with that. And be sure to post some links to pics of the MINI if you happen across someone that will work with you to achieve what you're looking for.
Cheers.

 

Jeff,
Great work!! Your site looks great! I really like that Civic photo. Also who wouldn't love the Ferrari photos. Very Clean.
I'm on the wrong side of the country and with out a MINI (at the moment).... beyond that I would love to do it.
As for the pics.... Do you think you could offer up one to the site as say a wallpaper or something? We would love to share it with our members.

Side note: This past christmas I gave my gf a Cannon SLR. She loves it. It's her first real camera so she's still very much in the learning phase.... When I saw your site I had to drag her in to see it. Her mouth hit the floor! "That's what I want to do!" was the first thing out of her mouth.

Sorry I can't offer a MINI for you shoot but I'm sure someone here may.

PS. You may also want to submit this as news item in the main menu under "submit news". We ran a news item simalar to this when Tirerack.com was looking for a MINI to photograph.

 

Jeff,
Excellent pictures! I saw your post saying you were a "photography student" and then I saw your site and my jaw dropped. You definitely take professional quality photos. Are you thinking of making a living doing it?

I've just begun to get seriously into photography myself. I've got a LOT to learn yet but seeing your photos makes me think I could be happy doing that for a living :smile:

 

I looked at the cars, and... wow. You're definitely gonna get to the places you want to in your industry! Good luck.

 

Jeff;

OK, the site is working now. For some reason didn't last night. Excellent pics there. 'Specially the Maranello. I'm sure you'd be able to capture the MINI in a way none have seen yet. Good on ya.
Cheers
