Philip de Bruyn’s BMW Frozen M3
For the second round of my car photography adventure, I was able to shoot a special edition black BMW Frozen M3 owned by Philip de Bruyn. For those of you not into cars, or BMW’s, the Frozen series features a matte/satin paint scheme, red accent stitching, black GTS wheels, and red brake calipers. There were only 20 of the black Frozen M3′s produced! Needless to say, I felt extremely lucky to be shooting such a rare specimen.
As far as shooting conditions go, there were very few clouds which led to some harsh sunlight at times. As the evening progressed, and the sun was setting, the color turned more golden and really accented the car. I was curious to see how this matte finish would perform with reflections and overall lighting. I was amazed to see how much light it could take. There were a couple of accent pieces in the interior and engine bay that Philip wanted me to take a look at, which turned out really nice. The shot above was the only HDR photo I did in this session, but I think it is my favorite from the set. Please enjoy my set of photos from the BMW Black Frozen M3 photoshoot.
