Common Questions
What types of car photography do you offer?
We cover a broad range of vehicle photography, including private sale listings, dealership inventory, studio sessions, luxury and exotic cars, classic vehicles, and car shows or club events. The right approach depends on your goal, whether that’s selling quickly, building marketing assets, or documenting a collection. You can see our work across these categories, and there’s helpful guidance on choosing the right type of car photography for your goal if you’re unsure where to start.
How do I book a session and how far ahead should I plan?
Reaching out a week or two ahead usually secures your preferred date, though we can sometimes accommodate shorter notice depending on current demand. Studio sessions and multi-vehicle dealership shoots benefit from earlier planning so we can allocate the right time and space. Just get in touch with your vehicle details, location and goal, and we’ll confirm availability and walk you through the next steps.
How should I prepare my car before the shoot?
A clean, detailed car always photographs better. Wash and dry the exterior, clean the glass, dress the tyres, and tidy the interior by removing clutter from seats, floors and the dash. Surface preparation makes a real difference to the final result, especially on reflective paintwork. For a full checklist, read our guide on how to prepare any vehicle for a professional photo shoot.
Do I need to be present during the shoot?
Not always. Many private clients drop the car off or arrange access and collect it once we’re done, while dealership shoots are often coordinated with your on-site team. For studio sessions, some owners like to stay and watch the process. We’ll confirm what works best when you book, including access details, keys and any location logistics, so the day runs smoothly.
What areas around Perth do you cover?
We work across Perth and surrounding areas, including coastal, urban and inland locations as well as dealership forecourts and studio settings. We can also shoot at iconic Perth backdrops for luxury and classic vehicles. Contact us to confirm your area and discuss the best location for your car. If you’re choosing a spot yourself, our blog on backgrounds that sell and locations around Perth that photograph well is a good starting point.
How does pricing work for car photography?
Pricing depends on factors like the type of shoot, number of vehicles, location versus studio, and how many images you need per car. A single private sale listing differs from an ongoing dealership inventory arrangement or a detailed studio session. The best way forward is to tell us your goal and vehicle details, and we’ll provide a clear quote tailored to your needs. Just request a quote to get started.
Will good photos really help sell my car faster?
Yes. The first photo strongly influences whether buyers click your listing, and a complete, well-lit set builds trust and answers questions before enquiries even start. Quality images often lift listing performance on platforms like Carsales, Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace. Learn more about how photography changes the outcome when selling a car privately.
What's the difference between studio and outdoor car photography?
Studio photography uses controlled lighting and clean backgrounds, which suits reflective, highly polished paintwork and marketing assets. Outdoor shoots capture a car in real settings with natural light and location character, often ideal for sale listings and lifestyle shots. Each has its place depending on your goal. Read more on why studio car photography looks different to outdoor photography.
Does Perth's weather affect when you shoot?
It can. Perth’s strong summer sunlight and glare create harsh reflections, so outdoor shoots are often scheduled for softer light early or late in the day, or on overcast days that suit car photography well. Heat, wind and coastal conditions also factor into planning. We’ll suggest the best timing for your location. For background, see our piece on the best times of day to photograph a car in Perth’s strong sunlight.
How many photos should a dealership use per vehicle?
A complete set usually includes exterior angles, interior shots, the engine bay and key detail or condition images, giving buyers confidence in the vehicle. The right number depends on the platform and your listing standard, and consistency across stock matters as much as quantity. We help dealerships build a repeatable workflow.
