This week I am extremely proud to present this next set of pictures. I first met Johnny at the Enthusiast Auto Group / bmw CCA meet back in June and really wanted to grab some pictures of his extremely clean 335i. He didn't have much time to stick around so I wasn't able to grab all the shots I wanted. Last week we were able to meet up and find a location worthy of the car. I thought I was careful with my rims, you should see Johnny pull out of a badly paved parking lot, haha. j/k-

I am usually very hesitant about shooting black cars due to the fact that they reflect EVERYTHING and gobble up light. I wasn't going to let an oppurtunity to shoot a car of this caliber pass me by, so I dove in head first and made it work. I'm happy I took on the challenge, as I feel like these are some of the best "black car" shots i've done, possibly even some of the best car shots i've done. We had a ton of fun shooting, probably more fun joking around that actually taking the pictures, and it didn't hurt Johnny was a good sport cracking jokes and moving the car all around. I took forever on the editing but I think it paid off. I kept going through all the raw files and seeing more I wanted to keep to edit, haha...this is probably why it took 3 days to do! I'm not sure which shot is my favorite, but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the carbon fiber trunk that was painted BUT left the 335i in c/f. Very subtle,

With all that being said, I proudly present johnny's 335i!
