Exclamation Senior Portraits w/ My Car

Well, The time has (finally) come. I am a senior. Woot!
Anyway, I plan on taking senior pics in the fall. Outdoors/with my car.
I think the orange/yellow/red/green leaves would look awesome with the blaze red.
This is where you guys come in. I have NO clue HOW I want to be photographed with my car. Anybody have any ideas?

.. however, I kind of like this idea:


Thanks in advance.

Thank you.
I had to beg my dad to co-sign for me.
I feel really good about paying for the car myself, though; I take pride in it more.

Well, one option is to go out with someone and a camera, and just constantly try different spots, angles, etc etc, until you find something. Or you can hire a professional photographer and have them figure something out for you.

Now that picture you've posted is definitley from a professional, and would probably cost you a pretty penny to have done.

Looks like it's Photo-shopped to me. He was added after the fact. Just grab anyone with a camera and start shooting. Find a nice area to shoot. Stand, leand, neal, etc. In front of, behind and beside the car. Take some while you are inside it, door opened, closed, etc. Stan

I had one of my senior pictures taken with my Caddy. The photographer told me where to stand and adjusted my positioning. It was pretty simple and the picture came out great. I also wish I would've had my XF in high school! The Caddy was quite a pimpmobile though, ahah.

this goes way back, but I took the old Z-28 out to the football field and put her under the goal posts...nice background of the scoreboard and such...so if you are into a sport...just an idea...and that was in 1972...LOL>>>

In the fifties (yep, that's when i graduated from HS) we were simply marched into the gym and sat upon a stool in front of a white sheet and a photographer took two or three shots and yelled "NEXT". I would have loved to have had my picture taken with my very cool Model A Coupe, with rumble seat, wire wheels, spares in both front fenders and on the rear, tuck and roll inside, professional respray on the outside- - - ah, that would have been nice.

i like that idea, looks nice.

when i got my senior pics done with my car, the photographer took charge. told me where to stand / when / how / etc, the way to go imo.. they do it for a living.. i'll see if i can dig up my proofs i had.. the best pic of course though was me leaning ont he side of my car with the wheels turned outside.. look awesome.. i was in the forest next to a stream.. the sunlight reflected just right

My daughter did a page in her yearbook with her SRT. It was a kinda in your face because she didn't get best car. They gave it to twins with an SUV. A popularity contest. It wasn't about the car. She got a ton of people takling after the fact about her SRT roadster with the lambo doors. She has always kept a very low profile. She could have made a lot of money charging for rides. LOL
