Looking for a modded 3rd Gen to shoot (SOCAL)
Hey guys, as the title suggests, I'm looking for a couple modded FD's to shoot. Free of charge of course, I just want a nice 3rd Gen to add to my portfolio. You'll get a CD with Hi-res copies for your own personal use and I'll even host the pictures so you can post them online.
Not to discount the "GO" mods but I'm looking for someone with rims, lowering springs, aftermarket bumpers or aero parts, etc. Preferebly located near Irvine, CA. as I do all my shoots local.
Anyways, post on here if you're interested or if you know someone that might fit the bill. Thanks guys. You can check out my gallery for more pics. www.ob-photo.com
Here's a few shots from my recent shoots. Comments and critiques are always welcome.

Wishin I Still Had The FD
Your photos look like the ones in new car brochures. Very nice work. I wish I were closer to Irvine. Next time you're partying in Vegas, bring your camera

The photography thing is just something I do on the side for now. I'm trying to build a portfolio and at the same time keep improving my skills. I recently got approached with a freelance gig for a car mag. If that works out I'll actually get some of my shots published.

All the shots I take for people are for their personal use only (Print out hi res shots of their car, show off smaller res pics online, etc.) If I did any work that would be used for commercial use I would definately charge more.
I'm just trying to get a nice collection of modded vehicles for my portfolio so naturally I wouldn't charge for that. Kinda of a "you scratch my back, I scratch yours" scenario. Although, there have been a couple good guys who liked my work so much that they paid me anyways. That definately isn't expected nor required though. When I've got all the shots I need for my portfolio and another member wants me to shoot their ride, that's when I charge. I don't ever solicit that type of work though, they approach me.

1/16th stainless custom cut for 99spec bumper (no overhang), powdercoated, and professionally printed. It'll complement the car nicely ;o)

Ob-photo,
Very nice shots indeed. The XT is an awesome consumer camera and you used it very well. I love your photoshop work also. Much props and good luck to you.

I may spend 2-4 hrs behind the camera but I can spend up to another 4-6 hours behind the computer. $60 is enough to filter out the people looking for freebies who probably don't appreciate your hard work anyways. At the same time, $60 isn't an outrageous figure that your average tuner couldn't possibly afford.

Good stuff. I'm sure you'll get to that place you're heading to.
