Vehicle photos
Which angles hold up later, how wide and close shots work together, and why plates, signs, and road surface belong in the set.
01
Wide before close
Two or three wide frames establish position, lane markings, and signage. Close frames only make sense once the scene is established.
02
Capture the context
Road surface, debris, skid marks, signal state, and lighting conditions disappear within minutes of vehicles being moved.
03
Keep the originals
Unedited files carry timestamps. Store the originals, and share copies.
