Why do they photoshop this stuff? Why not just shoot a picture with a car? Shops look shopped.

Adjustable perspective too. It makes the photographer not have to worry about the placement of anything or size proportion in relation to the subject until he gets to the photoshop stage.

We could not schedule to get the car with Stacey in time for the deadline. It's only an advertisement, not like a real spread. And I keep reminding people that it's about her, not my car, so think of it as a complimenting 'green-screen'. Nevertheless, it IS the real her, and it IS the real car. :)

Wow, they really turn up the lighting with the editing. Other than that I didn't see much of anything.

Looking fierce.

99% of ads or features in car magazines are about cars with no point. DRAG, DRIFT AND STREET EVO or 500 WHP DAILY DRIVER MONSTER ON PUMP GAS when you know that the only track time the owners have seen is on Grand Valley in GT3. In reality, the girls accompanying said vehicles have more real world application than the vehicle behind them.

Agree. Plus call me crazy but I'd personally rather see a picture of an attractive model (especially one that I've met) in a sexy pose with a car than just a picture of a 240sx.

yo, Koshin-----we get it.

yeah as for the photoshop thing again, i wanted a really nice 240 in the ad, since enjuku specialized in 240 parts. there were not readily available in my area for the deadline, and scott couldnt drive up from Florida, espeically because there was no way to compensate him. enjuku wanted to do a shopped thing basically but i decided to enlist help of my fav photographer and someone on NICO as a way of saying thanks to the photog for helping my career and to someone on NICO who was supportive.

Stace, Rich is the only one here not behind this entire deal. Consider him in the VAST minority. I'll tell him in person that he's f*** in the head next time I see him.

That and the whole point of this thread is to thank us at NICO. Kicking someone while they're saying "thanks" is less than classy.
