I rarely travel alone. My New York trip in June was the first time I travelled specifically to take photos. My last visit was in 2018, and this year marked my fifth time visiting New York City. Although the travel portion was not great (delays, cancelled flights, lost luggage), the city was incredible. I had four days to do whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted, and I had the opportunity to explore the city independently with as much time as needed.

When light painting a car, you will want to be sure you have the necessary equipment. You’ll also want a checklist covering the exposures you need so you do not forget any. We will cover those essential exposures (as well as optional) and look at some tips to remember before and during your photo shoot.

Focusing on the interior, it would be wrong to think that your location doesn’t matter. If you are concentrating on macros of interior details, this will not be as relevant, but with a wider angle, you are sure to capture the car windows in your photograph, probably the windshield and one of the side windows.
