this is an old link but not a bad place to start…!!
http://www.popularhotrodding.com/features/0506phr_get_your_car_phr/shooting.htmla simple place would be to look at car ads, examine the shots the angles, the background context etc, then look at the techniques, ie, circ pol filter to control reflection or zoom bursts etc, maybe shoot from lower down and fill the frame.
some very creative ideas in the images above all the same.
good job:)

Hi Shaunie,
Good start. Streight to the point. To shoot cars is not an easy. The first question is-what do you want to show. If it is a car in general, stand away from a car at least 15-20m, zoom as close as you can (Distance depends on type of lens, bigger zoom-bigger distance you need between camera and the car). That will give you more professional effect and bigger shallow bacground. Try to fill frame with the subject, do not leave a lot of empty space around the car.
Good luck
location is a big factor imo. The way I started out was keep trying and post up your favorite picture and ask how it can be improved. Also check out other peoples photos and see how they do it
