Drone G35 Sedan Night Shoot
When I received the text at 8pm on Saturday night from my friend Mark Stefanski, asking me what I was doing, I never expected him to ask me to shoot his car.
I expressed the desire to shoot his car after seeing his 6 Speed Manual Transmission, G35 sedan with its accentuated front lip, uniquely painted gold, coupe 19" Forged rims, expertly painted black grill and gold Mt Fuji emblem. The roof is custom painted black (by him of course) as are the tops of the rear tails to give it that sleek look in the rear capped off by a Top Speed exhaust system. The car is supported by an Eibach Sportline spring suspension.
The next task was to find a location that would accentuate his color and smooth lines. I thought a garage would be excellent with it's similar, yet high contrast tones and rough texture. Also, what better way to show the G's beautiful curves than by putting it in a predominantly square area?
With a little bit of creativity, and some off camera flashes, this is what I captured.. My aim was to capture how unique his build is. You normally don't see such an aggressive build on a coupe, nor these colors mixed together. While unique, I think it makes sense, and he successfully pulled it together nicely. Let me know what you think...

That’s tight. But can anything be done about the license plate?

@JD – You mean the Japanese one in the windshield? That’s a custom plate sent to him by one of his best friends.. I probably could have taken that out, but the car’s Japanese, so I figured it’d add to the mystique of “wonder where he shot that..” Also adds to the uniqueness of his car.

@Mark (Drone) – Yeah man.. I think that’s only the beginning.. We’ve got to figure something else out, or get some new locations.. I’m constantly on the lookout now.. Hopefully this will promote me the chance to shoot more cars to add to my portfolio.
