Photo Guide: How classic cars look really good

With little effort put into a car classic scene: how succeed without lights and Team, says Chris Kuenne by the trade magazine "Docma". The star of the photo shoot: a Passat 32b and many moorland sheep. Who wants to illustrate topics outside the mainstream, should get involved on the website. However, this is sometimes easier said than done.

"Beads-Ernst has really tipped the Supervisory Board meeting of 30 January 1978, the chrome version of the door handles in favor of a plastic version?" Before me in the blazing sun for three grown men were sitting at the table of a heath inn with bright eyes and talked with most intimate detailed knowledge about a car.

No car, the design has made history, but one who is today best known as a rubble Transportation: The Volkswagen Passat 32b, years 1980 to 1988. An unspectacular from the automotive press for its form, "Heide Design" taunts mobile. In the 80s of last century, he was bar for millions of commuters, families and representatives of a solid and reliable everyday vehicle for each emotion.

The backgrounds, but I knew nothing of the stories about the development board, "beads-Ernst and his men on VW, of people like the" designer "Luca from Ticino, who can now get drunk just getting momentum of the Aero-look wheel covers, or the blogger Tilmann from Wolfsburg, has for even the most trivial information about this car type meaning.

And so these people get with their expertise, platform, engine, there are journalists like my old friend Knut. His specialty is also twenty or more years after the end of the production time of a model to bring facts fearless investigation in light of many a dark storyline. I was here then landed on a kind of summit, and had taken over the role of the photographic observer.

Not out of interest for the old Passat, but excited by the idea of photographing an almost scrapped member of his profession in a totally unsuitable environment so that the images look like without love for the model. Who has a little busy with car photography, knows the problems of the genre.

You have to decide in the normal case: Does the car's main role as a motive, there are basically just a small effort documentary images. For an impressive result, which keeps up with the viewing habits to us that advertising is taught every day, great court announced. Support staff, location scouting, lighting, and then usually again just as much effort in Photoshop.

But that was not always so. As our trade came into the world, came from brochures and ads from everyday cars with relatively simple images. Images, a little idealized the environment in which the vehicle should find their place later. Images that a single photographer could only armed with a camera and create entirely without magic tricks.
