Many moons ago, I happened to frequent a nice forum called pumapeople.

Whilst there, I was voted "most helpful person" as I tended to be the one answering the newbies questions about all things puma. (As well as others)

As a prize, one of the long standing members there (tiggr) was kind enough to buy us a photoshoot.

From Ed @ Flow Images:

So if you want to go (just look at the photo's below and I'm sure you will!!) please quote the 'ford722' code and we get a free larger print!

This monday, I got down to Bristol with my other half Cherie and her Millennium to do a joint shoot (after ok'ing with Ed to bring both cars)

We spent a good 4 and a bit hours getting the cars photographed. The way they looked in the studio was unbelievable.

Ed has sent me some proof shots so here's a small sample:









Not bad huh?

 

Great photos, but then I'm extremely biased seeing as the Millennium is mine.


Looks like no-one else cares on here, seeing as it's not a Cossie.

 

cool pics thanks for posting them up

did you clean the cars for the pics? or did they? and what other preparations were made before taking pics?

 

wow they look absolutely awesome!!! you must be really chuffed!

 

£130 for 2hrs!! Blimey!

 

Was over 4 hours for us as we had to swap the cars over mid-shoot.

We cleaned the cars. They recommend a cleaning company on the website if you can't / don't want too. They really do look a million times better when under proper studio lighting though. My 5000 stonechips on the front disappeared!

No other preporation other than a wash..

 

Mine had already been pretty well prepared for Ford Fair anyway (T-cut, Poorboy's All in one Polish with Sealant and Collinite No. 476), so only needed a wash when we got there. Dal used Meg's Clay kit, ClearKote Vanilla Moose Glaze and Poorboys Ex-P a week or two before.

It depends how confident you are in your own cleaning abilities if you do it yourself. The lighting does hide a multitude of stone chips.


Ed's installed a hose pipe fairly recently, and can provide a bucket of warm water too. He'll also supply free tea and coffee 'cos he's nice like that!

 

awesome!

 

very nice pics

 

do they photoshop the black background with the soft glowing light??

 

No, they don't photoshop the background. The cars get 'dollied'* into a proper studio, and the lighting is setup around the cars for best effect.

*The studio floor is a matt grey, so car tyres on it would ruin it. They put rollers under each wheel and jack the whole car up so it can be pushed into position. Then lowered for pictures.

 

both puma's look gorgeous!!

 

Nice photoshoot , will have to save up for one when I get ma sierra resprayed

 

Ed must have liked the way the shoot went cause he's made one of our shots 'Picture of the Week'
